Not causing earthquakes

DLC Review Snowfall Adds a Dusting of Content to Cities: Skylines
This season, pass
The festive season is here, and with it comes Snowfall, the first of seven DLCs for Cities: Skylines’ PlayStation 4 port.

Chief among the new...

Review Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition (PS4)
Pillar talk
In traditional role-playing game fashion, you begin Pillars of Eternity by creating a character and assigning them a class, and then seconds later your avatar is caught in some sort of dastardly plot that leaves him or her with a magical new power. In this case, you're a Watcher - somebody able to communicate with souls, both living and...

Sim city
Cities: Skylines will dig out its hard hat and begin construction on the PlayStation 4 from 15th August.

Game already rated for Sony's system in Brazil
Much to this author's chagrin, Cities: Skylines launched as an Xbox One console exclusive this week – at least, that's what we assumed.

Review Magicka 2 (PlayStation 4)
It's a co-op kinda magic
Magicka 2, much like the PC hit Magicka before it, is a magic-'em-up which plays out in cartoony environments from a Diablo-esque isometric viewpoint. As the name suggests, it's all about magic(ka) and it packs a fun, surprisingly deep spell casting system that will see you conjuring up all manner of devastation. Making the...

News Annihilate the Competition in Magicka 2's Sing-a-Long Contest
Disco, disco, good, good
While E3 was brimming with more gaming goodness than you could fit into a picnic hamper, a trailer that left a lasting impression on this writer was the announcement of Magicka 2 on the PlayStation 4. Not only did it mock its own character's unemployment since the original title, but also the downsides of its iconic friendly...
Gamescom 2014 Hollowpoint Hits Hard and Heavy on PS4
The Contra of the future
2D side-scrolling shooters are a tough genre to tackle. Sure, it's simple enough for developers to make one and call it a day, but it's easy for these games to fall into the trap of being generic and unable to stand out. What does Ruffian Games have in mind to jump over that obstacle? With its work on the Xbox 360 exclusive...
