News Wait a Minute, The Witcher 3 Doesn't Have a Level Cap?
Kills for skills
A point that we've made countless times now: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a massive game. So massive, in fact, that Geralt's maximum level has been the point of much debate, purely because next to no one's managed to find and finish every available quest in the release. Indeed, quests are your main source of experience points in the...

Two more packs to fill your inventory with
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is getting two more pieces of free downloadable content this week, although they don't appear to be all that exciting.

News The Witcher 3 PS4 Framerate Issues Being Looked into by Dev
Patch v1.04 details announced

Eye of the tiger
Tekken 7's adding another animal to the character roster, kind of. This time, there's a tiger entering the fray, but there is a catch in that it's actually part of newcomer Kazumi Mishima's moveset. Kazumi's Heihachi's wife, and Kazuya's mother, adding yet more fuel to the already dysfunctional family's fire. While her fighting...
News These Witcher 3 Glitches are Bloody Horrific
Why the long face?
We've seen some pretty dumb glitches during our time with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but nothing particularly nefarious. The same can't be said for often hilarious YouTube user Tyrannicon, however, who's put together a short video of non-playable characters and their long, melted faces. Complete with eerie music and dark, stormy...

Witcher senses are tingling
Much like Geralt of Rivia and his super sensitive senses, we could feel something in the air today when we hauled ourselves out of bed.

News CD Projekt Red Hoping to Find The Witcher 3 PS4 Framerate and Font Size Fix
New patch in production
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's text is so tiny that you may need to push your nose right up against your television screen in order to read it. Look, this scribe may need to wear glasses while operating the computer, but that's more of an eyestrain thing – the reality is that this game's font is abnormally small, and we're not...
News The DualShock 4's Touchpad Is Your Pal in The Witcher 3 on PS4
Geralt's best friend
Ever since the PlayStation 4's announcement, the touchpad on the DualShock 4 has seemed like a bit of a gimmick. It's been employed, mostly, as a replacement for the select button since launch, but The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has a few more uses for the responsive rectangle that you may not be aware of. Tapping it will, obviously,...

Soapbox The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's Physical Package Puts All Other Games to Shame
Above and beyond
I'm not overly thrilled at the fact that my age is beginning to increase against my will, but I am thankful that I'm old enough to appreciate physical media.

News Project CARS' Conclusion to This Le Mans Race Is Unexpected
On cloud nine
To be clear: Project CARS is not broken like many of the PlayStation 4 titles from last year. It is, however, in need of patching, as it has a handful of minor issues that start to add up. This clip posted to YouTube may well be the worst of them, though, as the unlucky player on the receiving end encountered it when 30 minutes away...

Mechanical muscle man returns
A character who's featured in every Tekken title to date, Jack's back in Tekken 7.

He looks much the same as we remember...
News The Witcher 3's Latest and Possibly Last Trailer Is a Bit of a Masterpiece
By the light of the moon
We rag on CG trailers as much as anyone else, but we can usually forgive them when they've been preceded by more gameplay than our brain capacity can handle. As such, we're not too fussed that CD Projekt Red's let The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's new CG trailer loose. Plus, it's pretty bloody good. In truth, the video actually...

Review Project CARS (PlayStation 4)
The last tinker
Project CARS is not your average Sunday drive. Rather than attempt to tune the release to a common ideal, developer Slightly Mad Studios has instead served up a racing simulation that requires real effort if you intend to get the most out of it. Everything about the game – from the controls to the heads-up display – is malleable,...
News Wow, 35 Minutes of Witcher 3 PS4 Footage Takes Us from One Side of the Map to the Other
Leg it
We already know that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one heck of a big game.

News PS4 Owners Are Clearly Gagging for Gran Turismo
Project CARS dominates on Sony's system
With the utmost respect to Slightly Mad Studios, we reckon that Project CARS has proved a particularly big deal on the PlayStation 4 because there's no sign of Gran Turismo 7 arriving any time soon. Sony helped publisher Bandai Namco market the simulation racer here in the UK, and it was clearly a shrewd move,...

Steamy
We're pretty envious of American comedian and talk show host Conan O'Brien right now, because he's had a chance to get stuck into The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. In the ten minute video that we've embedded, the excitable television personality does everything in his power to try and get grizzly protagonist Geralt laid. The result is some bumbling...

While his dizzying attacks certainly look...
News Godzilla's New Trailer Is Exactly What It Should Be
Old school special
We don't know about you, but when we think of Godzilla, we don't cast our minds back to the 1998 flick, nor do we think about 2014's resurrection attempt. Instead, we think of the good old days of actors in big stupid suits, kicking the crap out of model towns. And so, you can imagine the relief when we saw the new Godzilla game...

News It Sounds Like You'll Have Plenty of Steamy Romance Options in The Witcher 3
Careful now
Geralt's a bit of a ladies' man, we've known that for a while now, but senior game designer at CD Projekt Red, Damien Monnier, has perhaps given us a tad more insight into how the game will handle romance via a post on its official forums.
