Feature June 2017 - The Return of 3 Iconic PSone Properties on PS4
Tekken, Crash, and WipEout are back
June may well turn out to be a very memorable month for those of you who have been fond of PlayStation since the PSone days. Sony's first console launched in Japan all the way back in 1994, which seems like a lifetime ago. The success of the system is well documented, and its popularity saw Sony form an iron grip...
News Last Day of June Is a PS4 Game of Love and Loss
Murasaki Baby maker Ovosonico at the helm
This sounds promising, doesn’t it? Murasaki Baby maker Ovosonico has announced its long-awaited next project: Last Day of June. The game – a puzzler about love and loss – has some big names attached to it, including musician and record producer Steven Wilson and Jess Cope of Frankenweenie fame. Much...
Store Update 30th May 2017 (Europe)
Tekken the mick
We’re almost in June, and the first of a trifecta of PSone franchises is scheduled to release in a matter of days. Tekken 7 is due out this Friday, but if you can’t wait that long, then there’s Danger Zone, Star Trek: Bridge Crew, and the final episode in The Walking Dead: A New Frontier to look forward to. What are you...

News UK Sales Charts: Injustice 2 Slaps Down Overwatch
NetherRealm's brawler on top
Injustice 2 juggled its way to a second flawless victory this week, beating away strong competition from a resurgent Overwatch – itself enjoying its first anniversary event.

News PS4 Firmware Update 4.70 Is Available to Download Now
Steady as she goes
This latest PlayStation 4 software update may have appeared out of nowhere, but we'd recommend not getting too excited. As many of you will probably have already guessed, firmware 4.70 simply promises better stability and performance. It weighs in at around 340MB, and you'll need to download it in order to make use of your...
Rumour Bloodborne Developer Collaborating with Sony on Aztec RPG
Or so the rumours say
Have you heard the rumour about Phantom Wail? This is apparently the latest collaboration between Sony and From Software, ruling out a direct successor to Bloodborne. The story seems to originate from a Reddit post, but it references a “notorious” leaker who isn’t named, so already we’re in sketchy ter
News Watch Sony's E3 2017 in Cinemas for Tons of Free Goodies
Tickets available for free this week
Good news, the PlayStation E3 Experience is making a comeback, meaning that you’ll be able to watch Sony’s media briefing live in movie theatres yet again this year. A whopping 85 cinemas are taking part in the initiative, and while this does mean that there’ll be a bit of travel involved for some of you,...
News Final Fantasy VII Remake Development Is Starting to Sound Like a Nightmare
Square Enix shifts to internal structure
When Final Fantasy VII Remake appeared at Sony's E3 2015 press conference, minds were blown. This author isn't ashamed to admit that he stood on his chair, put his hands on his head, and repeatedly exclaimed "no!" like some sort of deranged howler monkey. The excitement was very real back then, but now,...
News Shenmue III Will Not Be At E3 2017
Here's a new character, though
Many had expected Shenmue III to be on display at E3 2017 next month, but developer Ys Net has ruled that out in an update on the title’s Kickstarter page. “We will be devoting June to game development and, as a result, will unfortunately not be participating in any game shows,” the studio said. It’s still...
News Injustice 2 Pulls the Trigger on Red Hood Trailer
New challenger arrives in June
Injustice 2 will receive its first DLC drop in June, with Red Hood joining the release’s roster. The masked mercenary – the resurrected ex-Robin Jason Todd – leans heavily on firearms, packing some pretty cool combos with his dual pistols. Check out the trailer embedded above to see pretty much everything he has...
News Is Monster Hunter Finally Coming to the PS4?
Rumours say so, but are they accurate?
Who doesn’t love a 4chan rumour? Despite the generally dreadful track record of the infamous message board, legit leaks do sometimes crop up on the site, so you can’t always disregard them outright. And this chatter about Monster Hunter 5 has been heating up of late, so we’re going to drop a quick piece...
News Gold PS4 Slim to Bring a Bit of Bling to Retail
Always believe in your soul
If you’re the kind of person who likes a bit of bling then this gold 1TB PlayStation 4 Slim may be right up your alley. This photograph appeared on Reddit earlier this evening and looks pretty darn legitimate from where we’re sitting, though there’s not much additional information to go along with the snap...
News Feast Your Eyes on These Adventure-Filled Dragon Quest XI PS4 Screenshots
Sand Land
Japanese publication 4Gamer has snagged a handful of lush looking Dragon Quest XI screenshots, showcasing combat, exploration, and more. The pics apparently give us a look at the Samadhi region, which seems to be particularly sandy. All of the images are in-game running on PlayStation 4, and it's clear to see that the versatile...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 170
Warm up
The sun’s been shining for two or three days here in the UK, which means after much yearning for summer, the British people have turned to an age old complaint: “It’s too hot!” And, frankly, it is – so we’ll be hunkering down in our man cave and playing some games. Here’s what’s on the agenda. Sammy Barker, Editor: I’ve...
News All of Crash Bandicoot's Incredible Death Animations Remain Intact on PS4
Woah!
In a slightly twisted way, we've always loved Crash's death animations. In the original PSone Crash Bandicoot trilogy, Naughty Dog put real effort into crafting specific animations for each and every way that you could die - and many of them were hilarious. Fortunately, it seems as though all of these animations have been...
News Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Will Have Three Platinum Trophies
Bling
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is going the extra mile in almost every area, recreating Naughty Dog’s classic levels for a new generation, while adding in all-new art assets and quality of life improvements. But you didn’t think it was going to skimp on the Trophies, did you? Activision has confirmed that the release will include not one,...
Hands On Has Everybody's Golf on PS4 Been Worth the Wait?
Hyperlinks
How long does it take to make an Everybody’s Golf game for the PlayStation 4? A bloody long time, apparently – it’s been three years since Clap Hanz’s new-gen debut was announced, and we’ve still got to wait until the end of August to play it properly. Fortunately, there’s an online beta ongoing at the moment, and we’ve been...
News Crash Bandicoot 3 Looks N. Sanely Good in Huge New PS4 Gameplay Video
Crash is back, baby
Who's up for some remade Crash Bandicoot 3 gameplay, then? The only game in the trilogy that we haven't see in action up until now, PlayStation Underground has pushed out 20 minutes of lovely looking footage. Seriously, how spot-on does this look? The video takes us through three levels that veteran fans of the 'coot may...
Rumour Sony May Have Scored FIFA Marketing Rights from Xbox
Back of the net
Football is fudging huge here in Europe, and do you know what else is massive on these shores? PlayStation. It always made sense for Microsoft to be marketing partners of the FIFA franchise, then, because between Champions League sponsorship and general dominance in Europe, soccer games are already associated with Sony’s system...
Uh huh
When are we realistically expecting Final Fantasy VII Remake and Kingdom Hearts III to launch? We mean like, realistically. Square Enix doesn't exactly have the best track record when it comes to releasing big games in a timely manner, but its vagueness with regards to these two titles in particular is becoming a bit of a drag...
Feature We Talk Peaceful and Promising Open World PS4 Adventure Yonder
What a wonderful world
Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles first caught our eye when it was shown at the PlayStation Experience back in 2016. A colourful project from Prideful Sloth, a small independent studio based in Australia, Yonder's charmed us every time that we've laid our eyes on it. Ahead of its PlayStation 4 release on the 18th July,...
News Final Fantasy XII PS4 Trailer Shows One of the Series' Most Divisive Gameplay Systems
We quite like it, honestly
Ah, the Gambit system. Introduced in the original PlayStation 2 version of Final Fantasy XII, it's divided opinion ever since. Some people enjoy what it brings to the table, others think that it takes a lot of the moment-to-moment fun out of battle. Basically, the Gambit system allows you to set up automatic commands and...
News Meet the Resistance Hoping to Bring Happiness Back to Far Cry 5's Hope County
Time to fight back
What do you do when a cult of religious zealots take root in the idyllic American Midwest and start killing your family? Fight back, of course. Ubisoft has released a series of Far Cry 5 character vignettes, each illustrating the cast's unique reason for battling for the fictional district of Hope County. They’re pretty well put...
News Far Cry 5 Locks and Loads with Full Reveal Trailer, Release Date, and Gameplay Details
It's dangerous up North
Ubisoft's blown Far Cry 5 wide open with a load of fresh information. First off, we've got the game's full reveal trailer, which you can watch above. As expected, we're looking at a religious cult that's up to no good in the North American wilderness. It's got guns, airplanes, explosions, a load of creepy characters, and...
Rumour June 2017's PlayStation Plus Lineup Looks Very Strong
Fingers crossed
Rumour has it that the fantastic Life Is Strange and the underrated Killing Floor 2 will be the two free PlayStation 4 games with PlayStation Plus in June 2017. The speculation comes courtesy of PlayStation Turkey’s official Twitter account, and while we’d caution against getting too excited just yet, it’d be a very agreeable...
News Microsoft's Mixer Could End Up Being Beamed to PlayStation
Twitch must be twitching in its boots
Microsoft wants to switch Twitch users to its own Mixer platform, and it’s open to bringing the app to PlayStation if that will help its cause. For those of you who don’t know, the streaming site formerly known as Beam is basically an alternative to more popular games broadcasting destinations – it’s the...
News Star Wars Battlefront II Gets Prime Ad Placement for E3 2017
No Half-Life 3 this year
Over the past few years it has become a bit of a pre-E3 tradition to see which game will take centre stage in terms of advertisement placement on the famous Figuerora Hotel in Los Angeles, and this year Star Wars Battlefront II takes the prize. We expect the game to have a huge presence at both EA's Play event and...
News Cars 3 Looks Driven to Win in PS4, PS3 Trailer
Grease Lightning
Little known secret: Cars 2 on the PlayStation 3 was actually a pretty decent little arcade racer. Cars 3: Driven to Win looks to follow in its predecessor’s footsteps, and while the Pixar spin-off is clearly not going to win any originality awards, it sure could prove a fun little distraction this summer. This gameplay trailer...
News German Retailer Lists God Of War Collector's Edition for €199
Shields confirmed?
We've learned very little of the upcoming God of War ever since its debut at E3 last year, but a listing for a Collector's Edition of the game on a German retailer's website may just shed some new light on things. Take all of this with a grain of salt of course, but what's listed here could be noteworthy. The package is listed at...
News Tekken World Tour Announced, Offers Over $200,000 in Prize Money
Better start practising those juggles
Ahead of Tekken 7's worldwide release next week, Bandai Namco has officially announced the Tekken World Tour - a series of tournaments that will take place across the world throughout the rest of the year. Participating players will compete for ranking points which will determine their place on regional...
Soapbox Why Did Sony Ditch Two of the Best Games of the Year?
Sammy's worried about Sony's portfolio
PlayStation’s enjoying one of the most prolific periods in its history. The start to 2017 has seen the release of several high-profile first-party games, like Gravity Rush 2 and Horizon: Zero Dawn. But being a glass half-empty kinda guy, I feel it could have been even better: what the heck happened with What...
News Tekken 7 Lashes Out with Another Flashy Character Trailer
Master Raven! Dragunov! Lili! Yoshimitsu!
Another Tekken 7 character trailer? It's almost like someone at Bandai Namco realised that the game is only about a week away and now they're in a desperate race against time to highlight every available character. This latest video features veteran fighters Yoshimitsu, Lili, Dragunov, Leo, and Asuka,...
News Why Can't PS4 Pro Handle Destiny 2 at 60fps? Here's an Explanation
Don't shoot the messenger
There's been a lot of chatter lately regarding Destiny 2's frame rate on consoles - specifically the PS4 Pro. Bungie's shooter sequel was fully revealed last week, and it's safe to say that many onlookers were expecting the game to double up on frame rate over the original Destiny, mainly because it won't have to cater...
News Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Will Get Warped on Friday
N. Ot long N. Ow
Many of you have been asking why Activision hasn’t released any footage of Crash Bandicoot: Warped’s remake for the PlayStation 4 yet. We’ve always suspected that the publisher may be saving the best until last, and that certainly seems to be the case. Worry not, though, you impatient ‘coots – you’ll be getting your...
News Grab Some PlayStation Goodies from the New UK Gear Store
Merch mania
Once upon time, Sony cut the ribbon on the PlayStation Gear store in the UK – and then swiftly shut up shop. Now it’s back! Live in Britain – as well as France and Germany – the outlet is home to a cavalcade of branded goods, allowing you to bear the logo of your corporate overlords on your hoodie as well as your heart...
News WipEout Omega Collection's Soundtrack Will Make Your Ears Bleed
Not literally, of course
Electronic music has been part of WipEout’s DNA since its inception; the game used to pop up in UK clubs during the PSone days. Apparently. We were too young to be licking WKD off a stripper’s abs back then, and now it seems we’re too old to recognise half of the songs on re-release WipEout Omega Collection’s...
News Free PS4 Themes Don't Get Much Better than Gwent: The Witcher Card Game's
It's even got the Gwent music
CD Projekt Red's generosity seemingly knows no bounds. The Polish studio's been swimming in goodwill from gamers for years, and releasing free stuff on the PlayStation Store certainly doesn't harm its glowing reputation. The developer's launched a free PlayStation 4 theme and avatars alongside the Gwent: The Witcher...
News This RiME Music Video Is the Best Thing You'll See Today
Forgotten city
Spoilers: the soundtrack in RiME is absolutely extraordinary. Sure, we’re technically under embargo until tomorrow, but we doubt anyone will be too irritated we happened to share that tidbit. One of the tracks has been written by Lindsey Stirling, an American violinist – and this is the music video for the song. Weird CGI foxes...
News First Far Cry 5 Art Shows Signs of a Sinister American Cult
Deadly sins
Ahead of the full reveal that's due this Friday, Ubisoft has released the first bit of key art for Far Cry 5. Your humble hosts predicted that this latest instalment would be about creepy religious cults in the American wilderness, and judging by this image, we're spot on. In the picture, some sort of reverend is sitting at a table with...
News Gwent: The Witcher Card Game Open Beta Is Out Now on PS4
It's time to duel
Gwent: The Witcher Card Game has entered its open beta phase on PlayStation 4, and you can head over to the PlayStation Store right now and get it downloading. The free-to-play collectable card title is a fully fleshed-out version of the minigame found in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and it's supposed to be pretty good. The beta...
News Red Dead Redemption 2 Release Date 'Doesn't Matter' Says Publisher
It's still gonna sell
Red Dead Redemption 2 has been delayed into 2018. A bit of a shame to be sure, but the release date alteration doesn't mean jack sh*t according to Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick. Speaking during the publisher's latest earnings call, the CEO was asked whether he expects the sequel to perform better or worse now that...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Steady as Sales Slow Down
Calm before the Dragon Quest?
The post-Golden Week slump in Japan is still very real, with little to shout about in this week’s Media Create report. PREY was the “hottest” new release of the week, selling 7,105 units on the PlayStation 4. Danganronpa 1/2 Reload also charted for Sony’s new-gen system, shifting 3,880 units. You’ve got to...
News Sony Launches New PlayStation Store Section in US Featuring Dev Recommendations
Industry darlings
Sony appears to have launched a brand new PlayStation Store feature in the US.

Review Guilty Gear Xrd: Rev 2 (PS4)
Can't stop the rock
Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- is a masterful fighting game, and if you've been hankering for more of Arc System Works' gorgeous brawler, then you probably won't want to miss Guilty Gear Xrd: Rev 2. An expansion to REVELATOR - which can either be purchased as downloadable content or as its own standalone release - Rev 2 adds a...
Rumour God of War Maker Working on Major PlayStation VR Title
Will apparently go down well with core fans
Sony Santa Monica is a big, big studio, so while we’re sure that the bulk of its workforce is busy beavering away on God of War, it’s probably got a bit of manpower to spare. And according to a report on VRFocus, it may be leveraging those resources to cook up a little something new for Sony’s...
News Big PS4 Games Go For Under €20 in New EU Sale
Triple A
There's a new sale happening on the European PlayStation Store, and truth be told, it's probably one of the better selections of deals that we've had over the last few months. It mostly consists of popular retail titles like Fallout 4, FIFA 17, Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Batman: Arkham Knight, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and Watch Dogs,...
News Get Even Postponed Due to Manchester Bomb Attack
Will now release 23rd June
Bandai Namco has decided to postpone the release of psychological horror Get Even on the PlayStation 4 until 23rd June. The title was originally intended to launch this Friday, but due to the tragic events in Manchester last night, publisher Bandai Namco has decided to push the release back out of respect to the...
News Horizon: Zero Dawn Developer Recruiting Quest Designers
Ahoy, Aloy
Horizon: Zero Dawn may be one of the best games of the year, but the work never ends at Dutch developer Guerrilla Games. While many studios experience a cooling off period in the aftermath of a big product launch, instead the first-party is currently recruiting quest designers to work on its future projects. We know that production is
News Roughly 40 Per Cent of PSN Users Subscribe to PlayStation Plus
Equals a lot of revenue
Earlier we reported that the PlayStation Network has 70 million monthly active users, and now Sony has followed up with a presentation confirming that as of 31st March, a whopping 26.4 million were subscribed to PlayStation Plus. That means that just under 40 per cent of people who log in to PSN at least once a month are pa
Review Samurai Warriors: Spirit of Sanada (PS4)
Family values
To date, Samurai Warriors 4 has given way to three spin-off titles on PlayStation 4: Samurai Warriors 4-II, Samurai Warriors 4: Empires, and now, Samurai Warriors: Spirit of Sanada. Of the three, this latest release is the most original - at least in terms of structure and design. Spirit of Sanada takes numerous role-playing game...
News Grand Theft Auto V Has Shipped an Absolutely Insane 80 Million Copies
Digital sales included
We all knew Grand Theft Auto V as going to be gigantic, but we don't think anyone realised just how preposterously successful it would actually end up being. Rockstar's open world blockbuster has surpassed 80 million sales according to publisher Take-Two, which is an utterly insane figure. Equally mental is that the title has...
Store Update 23rd May 2017 (Europe)
Time for RiME
It’s yet another pleasant week on the European PlayStation Store this time. Big name brands may be out, but there’s plenty to look forward to, such as long awaited cel-shaded adventure RiME and psychological horror Get Even. There’s also a new game for the Vita called Plantera, which seems to be parodying the metal band of a...
News Kickstarter Star Bloodstained Is Apparently Only 20 to 30 Per Cent Complete
Bloody hell
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was a smash hit over on Kickstarter when it was first revealed back in 2015. The project was funded incredibly quickly, but for how long it's been in development, we haven't seen too much of the Castlevania clone. And what we have actually seen of it hasn't looked especially polished, either. The game's...
News Tekken 7's Opening Movie Is One of the Best in the Series
Doesn't beat Tekken 5's, though
Bandai Namco has revealed Tekken 7's opening movie, and we reckon it's really good. It takes cutscenes from throughout the game's story mode and pieces them together to create a rather serious tone that works well. Obviously the underlying plot here is that Heihachi and Kazuya are going to have one last showdown, and...
News Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen Loots Long Overdue PS4 Port
Dragon age
Robert Ramsey rejoice: Capcom has confirmed that Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is coming to the PlayStation 4 as part of a reveal in the latest issue of Famitsu magazine. The dark fantasy role-playing game was one of the PlayStation 3’s underrated gems, and this re-release is being developed to celebrate the series’ fifth anniversary...
Hands On Twisting Metal with Crossout on PS4
Wreckin' ball
On paper, Crossout sounds like a sure thing: a vehicular combat MMO in which you customise battle cars to take into a Mad Max-like wasteland. At first glance, it looks like a delicious hybrid of Rocket League and Destruction Derby. And at this early access stage, the game lives up to those lofty comparisons, but with a few mechanical...
Review Call of Duty: Black Ops III Zombies Chronicles (PS4)
Pack-a-Punched
Nacht der Untoten was a bonus mode tacked onto Call of Duty: World at War. It had recycled assets, no voice acting, and a simple layout because Activision didn’t fund it. Nevertheless, Treyarch implemented the small map for the fun of it, which went on to not only become the underrated game’s defining legacy, but also a franchise...
News Red Dead Redemption 2 Delayed Until Spring 2018
New screenshots released
As anticipated, Red Dead Redemption 2 is hanging up its hat and returning to the saloon until Spring 2018 on the PlayStation 4. The game – which was originally scheduled to release later this year – is continuing a Rockstar Games tradition of enduring at least one delay. Realistically, don’t expect to be playing this...
News Far Cry 5 Confirms Montana Setting, Reveal on 26th May
Back to the open world
Ubisoft has posted a series of short teasers for Far Cry 5, which also confirm that the game will take place in Montana. You can check out one of the videos below, but there are more here. This follows a long line of rumours which initially pitched Far Cry 5 as a sort of Spaghetti Western set in the 19th century, but now we...
News ClffyB's LawBreakers Free Falls to PS4 This Year
Power of attorney
Cliff Bleszinski is back in the game – literally. The ex-Gears of War maker has announced that LawBreakers, the gravity-defying first-person shooter from his new studio Boss Key Productions, is coming to the PlayStation 4 later this year. It’ll cost $29.99/£24.99 on the console, so it’s not gunning for the free-to-play...
News Destiny 2 Says Goodbye to Grimoire Cards, Actually Has In-Game Lore
What a concept
Destiny gets a lot of flak for having a crap story, and that's fair to some extent. What we get in the game is a disjointed, poorly paced plot that serves up more questions than it does answers, but to say that the actual underlying narrative deserves nothing but hate is a little unfair. Destiny has plenty of interesting ideas at its...
News PS4's Days Gone Will Be at E3 2017 in a Big Way
Actor confirms Sony Bend title for show
Days Gone made not one but two appearances during Sony’s E3 press conference last year, and word is it’ll appear in a “big way” during this year’s showcase. Actor Sam Witwer who plays the lead character teased the appearance as part of a Twitch stream, but naturally stopped short of sharing any...
News Cliff Bleszinski's LawBreakers Seemingly Teased for PS4
Fought the law
Who’s heard of LawBreakers, then? No one? It’s the game that Gears of War maker Cliff Bleszinski’s been working on forever – a kind of free-to-play first-person shooter that’s had its lunch eaten by Overwatch like so many others of its ilk. But there’s news ahead: it may be coming to the PlayStation 4 at some point in the...
News Final Fantasy XII Looks Amazing for a Remastered PS2 Game on PS4
Loads of new screenshots show it all
Looking at these new screenshots for Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, it's a little difficult to believe that this is essentially a remastered PlayStation 2 title. Square Enix has released a bunch of fresh Japanese images, and the game's looking bloody good for something that originally released over a decade...
News UK Sales Charts: PlayStation VR Exclusive Farpoint Shoots Up Second
Injustice served in first
Looks like Sony’s enormous marketing spend paid off, as PlayStation VR first-person shooter Farpoint has entered the UK sales charts in second position this week – an impressive achievement considering the increased cost of the PlayStation VR Aim Controller bundle and the slim install base of the headset itself. It...
News More Character Stories Revealed in New Tekken 7 Trailer
Paul! Kuma! Xiaoyu! Claudio!
Surprise! Tekken 7 has another character trailer, this time spotlighting the likes of Paul, Kuma, Xiaoyu, and Panda, alongside newcomers Josie, Shaheen, and Claudio. We still can't get over how ridiculous Kuma's rage art is - in a good way, of course. As with previous videos, this latest glimpse also gives us a look at...
Hardware Review PlayStation VR Aim Controller - Straight Shootin'
On target?
Virtual reality is at its mind-blowing best when it’s representing physical objects in 3D space. Wield two PlayStation Move controllers in the excellent Job Simulator, for example, and you can practically juggle with digital objects such is the accuracy with which the wands are replicated within the title’s cartoon world. The newly...
News One More PS2 Classic Confirmed for PS4 Next Week
Eternal Ring by From Software lined up
From Software wasn’t always a household name behind some of the biggest action role-playing games in the industry, y’know? Prior to the surprise success of Demon’s Souls, the Japanese developer was making niche titles like the King’s Field series and Eternal Ring. Speaking of which, the latter is set to...
Talking Point What Free June 2017 PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?
Predictions, please
We’re nearing the end of another month, which means that attention must turn away from the current crop of PlayStation Plus goodies and towards June 2017’s lineup. We’re not entirely sure when the roster will be announced – most likely it’s going to be 31st May – but we’re fully expecting the freebies to be...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 168
Canary wharf
The Premier League comes to a conclusion this weekend, but the season’s far from over, with a series of big finals to follow over the coming week or so. It does mean that our weekends are about to become even free-er, though, with no footie on the telly to distract us from clearing our backlogs. No excuses anymore. Sammy Barker,...
News Remember the Fantastic Baddies of Crash Bandicoot with This PS4 Boss Trailer
Nostalgia overload
The original three Crash Bandicoot games defined PlayStation back in the day, but we daresay that they wouldn't have been quite so memorable without the brilliant boss fights that Naughty Dog crafted. We remember some of them being devilishly tricky, but that made victory all the more rewarding. With that in mind we hope...
News New Star Wars Battlefront II Trailer Tells But Doesn't Show
Imperial mint
Don’t watch this new Star Wars Battlefront II trailer if you’re hoping to see something new: it fuses clips you’ve already seen with a couple of developers talking about the story campaign. How awesome is it going to be? So awesome, apparently. Presumably we’ll actually get to see more of the anticipated addition at E3...
