Out in August
Injustice 2’s DLC is on a steady schedule, and arriving next is Starfire, the queen of green beams – or, er, Tamaran if you’re looking for a more canonical explanation.

Review Cars 3: Driven to Win (PS4)
Rocky road
Pixar’s Cars movies are widely regarded as some of their weaker works, but they probably have the most straightforward path to gamification. Cars 3: Driven to Win is a simple arcade racer, featuring characters and locations from the films, and it’s almost exactly what you’d expect. However, the amount of variety and fun on offer...

Mordor get you in the mood
WHY. IS. EVERYONE. SHOUTING? Blimey, this ring thing must be serious business or something.

Guess that’s what happens when you're locked in battle over an unassuming piece of...
News Middle-earth: Shadow of War Delayed Until 10th October

News Middle-earth: Shadow of War's Open World Looks a Lot More Interesting than Mordor
A world worth exploring
If there was one criticism that you could level at Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, it was that its setting was incredibly drab and boring. Okay, so when you think of Mordor you think of volcanos and ashlands and a lot of grey rock, but a few creative risks would have been appreciated. Fortunately, the game's sequel,...
News Is Warner Bros Working on a Harry Potter RPG for PS4?
You're a role-playing game, 'Arry
There are two great mysteries in life: how the heck did Ron pull Hermione and why has no one made a Harry Potter role-playing game yet?

A casual reminder that 2017 is still firing on all fronts: Injustice 2 is the latest game to comfortably exceed expectations.

News Injustice 2's Joker Is a Hobo with a Happy Face
Why so serious?
While there are some questionable character designs in Injustice 2, we must admit we quite like the title's take on sinister supervillain The Joker. With overgrown green locks and a purple trench coat, the character maintains elements of his comic book counterpart, but is unlike any version of the baddie that we've seen before. He...

Review LEGO City Undercover (PS4)
Prison break
The LEGO games are famous for their humorous adaptations of popular movie properties and comic book characters, but in more recent times developers TT Games and TT Fusion have begun creating their own LEGO adventures.

News Injustice 2 Unmasks Scarecrow, Captain Cold
Cold as ice
Who doesn't love a bad boy, eh? Warner Bros has released the latest in a long string of Injustice 2 trailers, this time focusing on some nasty men like Gorilla Grodd and Bane. But look closely and you'll spy two additional nemeses: Captain Cold and Scarecrow. Terror just got taken to a whole new level in NetherRealm's upcoming brawler.
Brick it to the man
Upon its release in 2011, Minecraft drew plenty of comparisons to LEGO. It was like playing with everyone's favourite Danish export – no, not him – but virtually, and without the damage to your bank account. Hell, LEGO even made Minecraft sets, so you could play your favourite virtual LEGO game in real life with LEGO. So...

Of course, this is all to try and get you hyped for the Middle-earth: Shadow of War gameplay...
News Dr. Fate Fights into Injustice 2 on PS4
Who?
We're not going to lie: we barely know anything about Dr. Fate. NetherRealm Studios is really digging deep into the DC Comics archives with Injustice 2, and it's emerged with Kent Nelson's alter-ego – at least, that's what Wikipedia told us about the character. Y'know, we pride ourselves on adding value to each and every article that we...

The leak consists of the game's box art, which looks rather legitimate, and...

Bad, man
We're still not sure about those faces, but this Injustice 2 trailer is a good'un. It hints at the brawler's story, as Superman turns on Batman and the wider DC Universe gets dragged into the feud. The game's due out on 16th May for the PlayStation 4.

News Let Your Imagination Run Wild in LEGO Worlds This March
Build me up buttercup
Like every child on the planet, we used to play with LEGO when we were little. Except our "master builds" didn't include the Taj Mahal or the Great Barrier Reef – we simply settled for a square house with a flat roof on the top. Good times. Anyway, LEGO is obviously really fun whatever you're building, and LEGO Worlds is...
News Injustice 2's Girls Come Out to Play on Valentine's Day
Meow
Look, we're excited for Injustice 2, but there's an elephant that needs addressing – the character models are kinda hideous, aren't they? NetherRealm's always struggled rendering decent-looking human characters, but it requires a special kind of talent to take a heroine as iconic as Catwoman and make her look like the backend of a rhinoceros'...
News Swamp Thing Rises from the Mire and into Injustice 2
Mud man
Swamp Thing is a cool character, but creator Len Rein could have put a little more effort into the name of Dr. Alec Holland's alter-ego, eh? Anyway, the odious anti-hero is joining the roster of Injustice 2, and you can see the foul fighter in all of his glory courtesy of the trailer embedded above. While his design isn't anything to write...
News Black Canary Sonic Screams into Injustice 2 on PS4
Shriek beak
With the release date set, NetherRealm Studios is ramping up the character reveals for Injustice 2, and Black Canary is the latest name to be reeled off the list.

News Boy Wonder Battles Batman in Injustice 2 Robin Trailer
Reliant Robin
NetherRealm releases are impressive beasts. On sites like this it always feels like fighting genre stalwarts Street Fighter and Tekken have the upper-hand, and it's true that they'll command most of the attention in the competitive scene. But still, games like Mortal Kombat X garner ridiculous traction among the mainstream, and looking...
News Injustice 2's Story Trailer Goes Deep into the Superhero Psyche
Has Batman gone batty?
Even if you're not a massive fan of DC or superheroes in general, we reckon this fresh Injustice 2 trailer sets the scene pretty well for the upcoming sequel. It's all about questioning the values of Batman and the gang; identifying what makes them tick and asking whether they can really be trusted. With great power comes...

News Superhero Brawler Injustice 2 Uppercuts PS4 on 16th May
Fight!
Injustice 2 will enter the ring on 16th May, creative director Ed Boon has revealed on Twitter.

Doesn't really take a genius to figure out, does it? NetherRealm titles...
News Supergirl Smashes Faces in Injustice 2 on PS4
Krypton-fight
It's been a little while since we heard anything about Injustice 2, so we're probably due this update to be frank. IGN has uploaded a video centring on the moves and abilities of Supergirl, a so-called "Jill of all trades" character with ice breath and the ability to fly close to the sun. We're still not sure about the art direction in...

Harley fin
Word is that Warner Bros Montreal has scrapped its long-in-development Suicide Squad game – despite it being in production for two years. The title – which would have seen you take control of the eponymous band of anti-heroes – was never formally announced, but was rumoured to be a co-op title. Apparently, it failed to impress...
Hands On Getting Creative with LEGO Worlds on PS4
If you can dream it, you can build it
Ever since the launch of LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game years ago on the PlayStation 2, the LEGO games have enjoyed a lengthy, if somewhat predictable, lineage of excellent platformers. The formula is relatively set in stone at this point, as you build, fight, and explore LEGO universes across a broad variety of...
News Wii U Exclusive LEGO City Undercover Earns Its Badge on PS4
Cuffed to bits
First it was ZombiU, and now it's LEGO City Undercover: the Wii U fanboys would probably be fuming if Nintendo hadn't already ceased production of the catastrophic console. Writing on Twitter, Warner Bros has announced that the aforementioned Grand Theft Auto-inspired blockbuster will be setting a waypoint for the PlayStation 4 in...
Review LEGO Harry Potter Collection (PS4)
You're a LEGO, 'Arry

Initially released as Years 1-4 and Years 5-7, the LEGO Harry Potter Collection pulls both games...
Review Batman: Return to Arkham (PS4)
Blockbuster
The Batman: Arkham series has housed some of the best superhero games of all time – Spider-Man 2 and perhaps Deadpool aside – so it's easy to see why Warner Bros and Rocksteady decided to return to Arkham with, er, Batman: Return to Arkham. Consisting of Arkham Asylum and Arkham City (along with all DLC), right off the bat it's hard...
News Oh! Batman: Return to Arkham Is Out on PS4
No Joker
Surprise: Batman: Return to Arkham is out now. Well, in some regions it is – those of you in the UK may have to wait until tomorrow. The point, though, is that this game seems to have snuck up on us like a laughing gas bomb. We distinctly remember it being delayed a little earlier in the year… And now, it's out! Here's the launch...
