Try to act surprised
In perhaps the least surprising game announcement for 2019, Warner Bros and TT Games are currently developing The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame to coincide with the anticipated film sequel. As you might expect, it's set to feature Emmett, Lucy, Batman, and all the faces fans will remember, as well as a bunch of new characters from The...

Round Up Hitman 2 PS4 Reviews Boil Down to 'Good Work, 47'
Viva Tobias Reaper
Hitman 2 is flying under the radar, which is unfortunate given how great its predecessor is. Reviews are finally out for the assassination simulation, though – and it sounds like more top-notch Agent 47 action.

Soapbox Don't Sleep on the Hitman Series Or Its Upcoming Sequel
Lloyd loves strangling strangers
The Hitman franchise is an anomaly. It's a game focused on the act of killing, but it's not a shooter. Instead, it's a puzzle game with dozens of variables and parameters. It's a stealth game where you can walk out in the open. It's a series with not one but two (pretty dismal) Hollywood adaptations, with a stoic...
News Hitman 2 Heads to Mumbai, Vermont, and More
Good work, 47
All of Hitman 2’s locations have been revealed in a new cinematic trailer.

News Hitman 2's First Elusive Target Mission Stars Sean Bean
The Undying
The first season of IO's Hitman on PS4 had a great set of missions to start with, but the limited time Elusive Targets kept things ticking over.

News Free-to-Play Fortnite: Battle Royale Coming to Shops Next Month
Stocking stuffer
Fortnite may be free-to-play, but it’s such a big phenomenon that it will benefit from having a store presence this holiday. Epic Games has partnered with Warner Bros to make that a reality, announcing that the complimentary title will make it into stores on the PlayStation 4 from 13th November. But how, we hear you ask, do you...
News Cyberpunk 2077 Will Be Distributed by Warner Bros in North America
Pledged for PS4 once again

Duck decoy
You can play Hitman 2 pretty much any way you like, but the series is always at its most fun when you get creative – as this new trailer illustrates.

News Harry Potter RPG Takes a Hagrid Sized Stride Closer to Reality
You're a wizard, 'Arry
We weren’t sure what to make of today’s rumoured Harry Potter RPG leak, but we were leaning towards real purely because of the sheer effort it’d take to create a trailer like the one that got uploaded to YouTube. And now, we must admit, it’s looking more and more legit, as Warner Bros has hit the clip
Review Scribblenauts Mega Pack - Two Great Puzzle Platformers in One
Not all heroes draw their own capes
Video games often get a bad rap. Parents can demonise them as the scourge of education, the ultimate in distraction, and a waste of time and money. The media doesn’t help with its panic of the month over games like Fortnite. But hold up, what we have here are two video games that actively encourage not just...
Rumour Is This Leaked Footage of a Harry Potter RPG Legit?
Charming
Last year, a rumour was circulating that Avalanche Software (of Disney Infinity fame) has been working hard on a fully fledged Harry Potter RPG for Warner Bros. This is something we've always thought was a good idea, as it's a world that lines up pretty perfectly with a roleplaying game. The latest development in this rumour is the above...

News Three Cartel Leaders Need Killing in Hitman 2's Colombia Level
Can you do it undetected?
Three cartel leaders have all descended on the same Colombian village, and you have permission to put them to sleep in Hitman 2. While security is unsurprisingly tight, that shouldn’t prove a problem for Agent 47, who’ll be able to adopt a variety of different jungle disguises in order to hunt down his prey like the...
Hands On In Hitman 2, You Can Finally Claim Fatalities as a Flamingo
An assassin's need
There’s surely a formula to the very best Hitman levels, and the good news is that Hitman 2’s new Miami stage follows it to a tee. While you get the feeling this vibrant environment could have been added as an episode to the first season, developer IO Interactive would no doubt argue that a lot has changed under the hood. From...

News Hitman 2 Highlights Its Living, Breathing Sandbox
Miami vice
The best thing about Hitman is its huge sandbox levels, and fortunately this year’s sequel will continue that trend. IO Interactive’s keeping a lid on the full roster right now, but it has been showing off its Miami stage, which is built around a race track. Depending upon the actions that you take, you’ll alter the outcome of the...

Review LEGO The Incredibles (PS4)
No capes
The licensed LEGO games have covered plenty of cinematic ground - especially if you include the now defunct LEGO Dimensions line - and at this point they’ve become a bit of a video game institution. While you’d think the well would’ve run dry over the last decade or so, the arrival of LEGO The Incredibles, to coincide with the release...
Rumour Hitman 2 Level Locations Leaked
Murder map
Part of what made IO Interactive's previous Hitman title so compelling was its mission locations. The episodic assassination adventure saw Agent 47 traveling the globe in order to carry out his contracts, providing a nice variety of environments to explore. If a recent leak is to be believed, Hitman 2 is set to feature a similarly diverse...

Like a Hitman mission that goes horribly awry, Agent 47 has fluffed his lines here. Danish developer IO Interactive hinted at Hitman news earlier today, with publishing partner Warner Bros promptly following up with a video clip of an F1 race track. It seems both parties have been teasing Hitman 2, as t
News Warner Bros Dons Its Overalls for New Announcement
Is Agent 47 heading to the races?
Yes, readers – E3 2018 is very much around the corner. The social media teasing never ends, and now it’s the turn of Warner Bros to take to Twitter with vague promises. The short video clip shows what appears to be some kind of racing game, but we reckon this may be a bait-and-switch and actually related to the...

Review Scribblenauts Showdown (PS4)
Sketchy
Perhaps surprisingly, Scribblenauts Showdown is the first title in the series to make its way to PlayStation. In a way, this is great news; Scribblenauts is a fun, creative franchise that encourages imaginative thinking, and it's always good to have more kid-friendly games on PlayStation 4.

Hey, remember Middle-earth: Shadow of War? The action title garnered a lot of critical praise when it launched in October last year, but it felt like it never really retained any momentum. By the time Game of the Year talk rolled around, it was all but forgotten by most. We suppose it's fortunate then that its first story expansion,...
