Paint by numbers
On paper, it’s obvious what ChromaGun will be compared to. A first-person puzzler set inside the white walls of a laboratory with an unfinished weapon that needs testing out? “That’s Portal!” we hear you scream. And if you were to look at it that simply, then indeed it is – but that would take away from everything...

Review Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (PS4)
Bolly good
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is like a Greatest Hits album: short on surprises but a blast from start to finish.

All flair
EA's pushed out a new trailer for FIFA 18. Cut to the beat of Blue Monday by New Order - yeah, it's a little weird - the video's surprisingly stylish.

Either a benefit or a hazard
Bloober Team is a fascinating developer. The Polish outfit has released a couple of games this generation: its first, Basement Crawl, was so poorly received that it had to be remade, and was reborn as Brawl.

Guide Everything You Need to Know About Gamescom 2017
Press conference times and what to expect
German convention Gamescom used to be a big deal for PlayStation, and it still is if you’re planning on attending the convention in Cologne – but for everything outside of the show floor, it’s been a quiet week for Sony over the past few years.

News UK Sales Charts: Crash Bandicoot Keeps the Throne Warm for Uncharted
Naughty Dog domination
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy has secured its seventh week at the summit of the UK sales charts, but surely now it's merely keeping the throne warm for Chloe Frazer and co, as Uncharted: The Lost Legacy threatens to steal its place.

Feeling Egyptian
Ubisoft loves a good cinematic trailer, and that's what it debuted for Assassin's Creed Origins during Microsoft's rather low-key Gamescom 2017 livestream thing this evening.

Nid I say more
Nidhogg 2 is the very definition of an iterative sequel, in that it makes no changes to the core mechanics of its predecessor. You and a single opponent attempt to run towards opposite ends of a large 2D arena in order to be eaten by the giant cosmic worm known as the Nidhogg. It's probably going to take until Nidhogg 15 for us to...

The PlayStation 4 version attempts to build upon that with a...
Player agency
Watching Saturday morning cartoons as kid, there was always one thing that bothered us about shows focusing on paramilitary groups such as M.A.S.K. and G.I Joe. No, it wasn’t the fact they were designed primarily to sell toys to impressionable young minds, it was the way none of the teams ever showed up en masse to foil the plans of...

News That Mysterious Bandai Namco Teaser was For Yet Another Sword Art Online Game
Fatal bullet
Earlier in the week, Bandai Namco teased a new project headed by Japanese developer Dimps. The teaser trailer showed a dusty, almost post-apocalyptic world.
