Review Warriors All-Stars (PS4)
Seeing stars
A crazy crossover title that features characters from a bunch of different Koei Tecmo properties, Warriors All-Stars certainly feels like an attempt at celebrating the publisher's many years of success. Unfortunately, as a traditional hack and slash Warriors title, the game just isn't that great. The PlayStation 4 has been blessed with...

In this case, you're a Watcher - somebody able to communicate with souls, both living and...

Review Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder (PS4)
Boulder dash
Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder is one of those games that, on paper, sounds like it shouldn’t work. A sequel to 2011’s Rock of Ages on PlayStation 3, this title is a blend of tower defence and physics-based racing/platforming, all under an aesthetic that immediately brings to mind Terry Gilliam’s Monty Python animations. If...

The jeep trekking sections of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End made up some of my favourite moments from our 2016 Game of the Year. It was Naughty Dog’s first foray into building an open world environment for a Nathan Drake adventure, and for its initial effort, the developer was incredibly successful. Madagascar...
News God of War PS4 Will Be the Most Brutal Entry Yet
Ouch
Sony’s upcoming God of War soft-reboot will be the “most brutal” entry yet, PlayStation marketing bigwig Asad Qizilbash said at the GameStop Expo this weekend.

Got the Knack
This is not a joke: Knack 2 looks really fun. It’s no surprise, of course, as we said a similar thing at E3 2017 – but given the meme status of the original, it’s worth reminding everyone that the sequel looks like a monumental improvement.

Poll Are You Loving Uncharted: The Lost Legacy on PS4?
Indian summer
Despite being developed in less than a year, we believe there’s a case to be made for Uncharted: The Lost Legacy being the best in the series.

We consider the facts
So then, is PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds coming to the PlayStation 4?

Gamescom 2017 Destiny 2 European Deadzone Gameplay Shows an Improved Sandbox
See new patrols and events in action
The sandbox environments of the first Destiny were perhaps one of its most stunted aspects.
