News Ultra Street Fighter IV Throws a Few Fireballs Next Year
Hadouken
Capcom’s not done re-releasing Street Fighter IV just yet.

Review Dungeons & Dragons Chronicles of Mystara HD (PlayStation 3)
Towers above, casting a superior shadow over generic brawlers
Retro history teaches us that it must not be easy to create a fun and hugely replayable side-scrolling beat-'em-up. The genre is riddled with pitfalls, including repetitive gameplay, tedium and dull button-bashing controls. For every gem like Streets of Rage 2 there has been an abundance...

News Dragon's Dogma Braves the PlayStation Vita in New Freemium Quest
Beast wars
The announcement of Dragon’s Dogma Quest for the PlayStation Vita should be a reason to celebrate – but we recommend tempering your expectations a touch for the time being. The title – revealed in the latest issue of Famitsu magazine – is described as a free-to-play online RPG. Oh, and it’s all in 2D, too. But it could still be...
Review Remember Me (PlayStation 3)
Who are you again?
A game that has ironically slipped under the radar for many, Remember Me is something of a risk for Capcom, a brand new IP that borrows gameplay elements from numerous popular titles, and weaves them together within a futuristic world that’s perhaps not too far from our own reality. It’s a linear title that does things mostly...
News UK Sales Charts: Resident Evil: Revelations Sails to the Summit
Sea slick
Middling survival horror up-port Resident Evil: Revelations has bobbed straight to the top of the UK sales charts, proving that last year’s disappointing Resident Evil 6 hasn’t ruined the series’ reputation for good. The white-knuckle shooter fought off strong competition from last week’s frontrunn
Review Resident Evil: Revelations (PlayStation 3)
Float your boat
Resident Evil: Revelations’ seafaring setting may bob and weave like a luxury cruise liner should, but beyond the nautical accessories that dress the Queen Zenobia’s corridor walls, this is a game that feels much more familiar than its crafty subtitle would lead you to believe. A high definition port of last year’s Nintendo 3DS...

Navigating the seven seas

The upcoming Resident Evil: Revelations will finally acknowledge that, by allowing you to kit out the...
News Unsurprisingly, Japanese Gamers Want a Monster Hunter Title for Vita
Soul Sacrifice not quelling the region's bloodlust

Review Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (PlayStation 3)
Top dogma
Dragon’s Dogma originally released last year, and although many praised Capcom for trying something new and exciting, the general consensus was that the game fell just short of greatness. Despite boasting a huge open world, an intriguing class system, and fantastic boss fights, the title faltered on the smaller things like awful menu...
Guide Surviving the First Few Hours of Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
Slow and steady wins the race
As you may already know, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is actually a re-release of last year's Dragon's Dogma. While there’s no doubt that veteran players will be returning to Gransys in order to tackle the daunting expansion from which the re-release gets its name, we thought we’d take the time to jot down a few...
Preview Thawing Lost Planet 3's Winter Wonderland
Peyton the ice
It’s a good thing that Lost Planet 3’s set to release at the tail end of the summer, because you won’t want to play the Spark Unlimited-developed prequel when it’s cold outside. The third-person shooter takes place a long time prior to the events of the first game, with the snowy setting of E.D.N. III still trapped in the...

Shooter pushed back to late August

Preview Finding Our Sea Legs with Resident Evil: Revelations on PS3
High and dry
Handheld to console ports are a common symptom of the end of a generation; an opportunity for publishers to squeeze a few final pennies out of an established install base while the bulk of its workforce quietly turns its attention to impending hardware. Much like MotorStorm: Arctic Edge and Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier before it,...
Review Darkstalkers Resurrection (PlayStation 3)
Once bitten, twice fly

Ardent fans have been howling for the return of Felicia and company...
