Review Adventures of Mana (PS Vita)
Magic moment
If you're on the market for an old school action role-playing game that'll keep you reasonably entertained for a good few hours, you can't really go wrong with Adventures of Mana.

Faith, robots, valkyries, and Sol Badguy
We may be into the quieter summer months of 2016 right now, but June still managed to offer up a decent selection of PlayStation titles.

PS4 sales actually increase
The PlayStation 4 is suffering from a real software drought in Japan right now, but Sony's latest console just refuses to budge from the top of the hardware charts.

News UK Sales Charts: DOOM Keeps Up the Slaughter as Rocket League Boosts into Top 10
Football crazy
DOOM has managed to retain its place at the top of the UK software charts, much to the disappointment of FIFA 16, which, we imagine in part thanks to Euro 2016, has been steadily moving towards the summit. Sales of id Software's shooter actually declined rather sharply, but the drop wasn't enough to knock the game from its impressive...

News Get Your First Glimpse of Gutsy Berserk PS4 Gameplay
A real bloodbath
We knew it was coming and here it is: Berserk's first gameplay trailer. Well, kind of.

News Koei Tecmo's Berserk Game Won't Get an 18+ Rating
Bloody hell
Let's face it, Koei Tecmo isn't known for dabbling in overly violent or decidedly mature games, so it's no wonder that Berserk fans have been pondering the publisher's position on Berserk, the upcoming action title that's based on the manga and anime property. If you know Berserk, then you'll know that it's not for the faint of heart;...
