News The Surge 2 Kraken DLC Comes to PS4 Next Week, Early Access for Season Pass Owners
Something for the kids
The Surge 2 was a somewhat decent iteration on its Souls-like predecessor, but we still felt like it was lacking a little something when it launched last year. It's worth checking out if you're starved of From Software experiences, but the game's first major piece of DLC looks a whole lot more interesting. In the same vein as...
News The Surge 2 Story DLC Arrives January 2020, Adds New Weapons and Gear Sets
Priced at £15.99/$19.99
The Surge 2 launched just over a month ago, and it already seems to have been all but forgotten about. It wasn't a bad game, but it did nowhere near enough to really differentiate itself from the Souls-like pack. It has the chance to change that, however, as the title is set to receive a story-based DLC in January 2020...

News The Surge 2 Goes Full Rockstar in New Gameplay Overview Trailer
Loot, upgrades, and builds
Everyone loves emulating the Rockstar Games approach to trailers nowadays - a voiceover that plays while gameplay does just as much talking as the description the female narrator is giving you.
