News Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Has No Multiplayer, Online Features
Single player only
Among other things, part of what makes FromSoftware's Dark Souls games (and Bloodborne) special is their implementation of online elements and multiplayer. The ability to leave friendly or devious messages for other players is a novel and entertaining way for players to interact, while full-on co-op and PvP fleshes out the overall...
Reminder Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Is Free on PS Plus Now
Bonza bonus
You could be forgiven for forgetting that Call of Duty: Black Ops III is free on PlayStation Plus right now – it was announced during Sid Shuman’s painful interlude in the Sony E3 2018 press conference earlier this week, after all. But with the PlayStation Store back up and running following some turbulence on Tuesday, we’re here...

Lit
Many of you will have grown up on franchises like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon, so it’s really exciting to see both brought back to the fore. Last year’s N. Sane Trilogy was an ace reimagining of three of PSone’s defining games, and the Spyro Reignited Trilogy looks to continue that good work. Take a look at some gameplay from E3...

The publication was present during a press-only demonstration led by Yasuhiro...

And his popularity makes this new trailer for Destiny 2: Forsaken that much more interesting. We won't spoil it here, so give it a watch and let us know if...

E3 2018 Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Bucks the Trend with a Traditional Season Pass
Will include 12 multiplayer maps
With many other titles in the FPS space ditching the route of a paid Season Pass to access post-launch DLC, it was thought that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 may go along with this trend too. However, this isn't to be the case, as the official Call of Duty Twitter account has tweeted out details of a Digital Deluxe...

Published by Activision
As some were expecting, From Software's new game has been revealed at Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference. It's called Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and looks to be the studio's take on samurai.

Review Destiny 2: Warmind (PS4)
Nevermind
Destiny 2 is in a slightly better place than it was when the awkwardly average Curse of Osiris launched late last year, but that doesn't mean Warmind can be let off the hook.
