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...
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 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 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 Yes, Destiny 2 Is 30fps on PS4, PS4 Pro
Stay calm
"Will Destiny 2 hit 60 frames per second on console?" is a question that's been flying around for months now.

News Destiny 2 Perhaps Looks a Little Too Familiar in New Strike Gameplay Footage
Déjà vu
It feels like we've said this a million times already, but Destiny 2 is going for the 'bigger and better' approach to being a sequel. Bungie was obviously never going to start over from scratch, but to some extent, we were expecting to see a real step forward for the property - and we're not quite sure that's going to be the case. We'll...

News This Is What Crash Bandicoot PS4's Case Should Look Like
Phwoar
Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy is all about N. Ostalgia. Meh, that gag didn’t really work, did it? Anyway, the point is that Naughty Dog’s iconic ‘coot is coming to the PlayStation 4 because so many fans – now with crow’s feet and greying hair – grew up with the character in the 90s. But while we like the title’s boxart,...

News Look, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Probably Isn't a PS4 Exclusive
Here we go again
Is Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy a PlayStation 4 exclusive? We've said it a million times already but we'll go ahead and say it again: probably not.

Oodibigah
There were some complaints when the gameplay was first revealed at PSX 2016 last year that Crash Bandicoot N.
