Prodigious
It's only just been announced in Japan, but Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory already looks like it could be heading West. Publisher Bandai Namco has trademarked the name "Hacker's Memory" in Europe, suggesting that it's planning on bringing the latest game overseas at some point. It'll be available on PlayStation 4 and Vita...

News UK Sales Charts: Ghost Recon: Wildlands Holds On
Horizon still selling strong
It's been an electric start to 2017 in many ways, but the industry's just quickly taking a breather before Mass Effect: Andromeda drops. It means that this week's UK sales charts aren't all that exciting, with Ghost Recon: Wildlands retaining its place at the top of the best sellers list. LEGO Worlds is already starting...

News February 2017 NPD: For Honor Ascends as Nioh Stabs Top Ten
But industry declines persist
You've got to give credit to Ubisoft: it may not make games that get NeoGAF giddy, but it sure knows the market well. For Honor has climbed straight to the top of NPD charts in the United States for the month of February, with Ghost Recon: Wildlands surely the frontrunner to pull the same party trick in March's report...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Ghost Recon: Wildlands Snipes Kingdom Hearts
Tango down
It's a bit weird to look at the latest Japanese software charts and see a new game like Ghost Recon: Wildlands sitting pretty at the top, but that's what we're dealing with this week. Ubisoft's open world stealth-shooter hybrid parachuted in at number one, selling a respectable 89,791 copies. It even managed to beat Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5...

News UK Sales Charts: Wildlands Scores the Largest Launch of the Year
Surprise attack
Ubisoft has once again proven that it's the master of sleeper hits, as its Ghost Recon: Wildlands has secured the largest launch of the year so far. It didn't feel like there was anywhere near the same anticipation for the co-op shooter as the likes of Horizon: Zero Dawn or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but it's sitting...

Warriors of the Sky

Dubbed 'Warriors of the Sky', the expansion will be available as an update, and will feature "extra characters,...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Numbers Hold Despite Switch Launch, Horizon Comes Second to Zelda
Expected results
The obvious talking point of the latest Japanese sales charts is the launch of the Nintendo Switch, which unsurprisingly rocketed to the top of the hardware charts. Ninty's newest moved 329,152 units, meaning that it surpassed the PlayStation 4's opening sales by around 20,000 units. Speaking of which, Sony's current-gen console...

Those of you without a membership will be able to get up to 35 per cent off select...

News UK Sales Charts: Horizon: Zero Dawn Beats Zelda to Summit
Sony's biggest PS4 franchise debut to date
How well has Horizon: Zero Dawn sold? Exceedingly well – in the UK at least.

News PSN Purchases Will Be Taxed in Some US States Starting 1st April

The charge will be determined by where you live, with New Jersey, Washington, and Texas some of the states affected by this...
News Toukiden 2's New Trailer Highlights Open World Gameplay, Multiplayer, and Story
Slayer
In a month that boasts Horizon: Zero Dawn (in Europe), NieR: Automata, and Mass Effect: Andromeda, it's admittedly going to be pretty tough for Toukiden 2 to stand out. It's a shame, too, because the demon-slaying sequel appears to be doing everything right, throwing open world exploration into the mix alongside a new cast of characters and...
News PlayStation Plus March Games Revealed
Marching on
Sony's revealed your PlayStation Plus games for March, and it looks like the leak was right.

News UK Sales Charts: For Honor Sticks a Sword in the Summit for a Second Week
Calm before the storm
Despite a 72 per cent drop in sales week over week, no title could take For Honor's seat at the summit of the UK sales charts. Xbox One and PC exclusive Halo Wars 2 gave its best shot, but fell short of its predecessor's already modest first week tally, while Grand Theft Auto V, FIFA 17, and Sniper Elite 4 didn't have the...

Psychonauts! Ys Origins! More!
With both Horizon: Zero Dawn and NieR: Automata still a little way away, this week's European PlayStation Store update is without any real heavy hitters.

And an update from Ben & Ben
So, it's been a while, hasn't it? Well that's for a number of reasons, the first of which you've probably already guessed.
