World Cup fever has propelled FIFA 23 back to the UK retail chart top spot, meaning Pokémon Violet is no longer no.1. With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II climbing to #2, Nintendo’s creature capturer is down to #3. Pokémon Scarlet, meanwhile, falls from #2 to #6 during...
While there are a few more big-name games to come this year, including High On Life, Dragon Quest Treasures, and Core Crisis: FFVII, this may possibly be the last truly busy week of 2022 when it comes to new releases. The release lists are looking rather sporadic from...
Claiming that gameplay will always be more important than graphics isn’t a particularly bold statement. Many will agree that this has been the case for video games ever since their conception back in the late ‘70s. Pong wasn’t much to look at, but it sold the concept of...
It seems strange to call this week a quiet one for the Switch when there’s a potential million seller in the midst, but then again, the Just Dance series is laser-focused on a certain demographic. This series always does the numbers for Ubisoft, even though new entries are...
City Connection has two SEGA Saturn conversions on the horizon. The first, as reported during our new release round-up, is the cult Taito puzzler Cleopatra Fortune (also known as Cleopatra’s Fortune) from 1997. The PSone version was released in the UK by Midas, often remembered for being one of...
The Atari Flashback console series launched in 2017, bringing together 150 games across three volumes – with bespoke versions later launching for Switch and PS Vita. With this in mind, you may be wondering why Atari 50 has generated a buzz, especially when this latest collection offers fewer...
Have you ever found a game hard going before realising that you only had yourself to blame? That was my experience with Orbital Bullet for the first hour or so, finding myself in an early grave due to a penchant for power weapons. The likes of the grenade...
If we were gambling men, our money would have gone on Pokémon Scarlet being the more popular of the two new Pokémon adventures. This week’s UK chart proves that we should never be allowed to step foot into Ladbrokes – Pokémon Violet is the UK’s new no.1, with...
If you’re into grisly shooters, this week has you covered. Evil West – not to be confused with Weird West, Hard West, or Will Smith’s Wild Wild West – could be a surprise hit, coming from Flying Wild Hog – creators of Trek to Yomi and Shadow Warrior....
Here’s a child-tested review for you. In this family-friendly game, horse enthusiasts can catch up with Sofia, Lisa, Sarah, and Hannah at Lakeside Riding Stables. At the outset, you can customize your character and horse before taking on the main story. A tour of the stables, farm, and...
Fair warning: I am in my early 40s, and Lunistice has hit me right in the nostalgia. For me it’s a lost Saturn game – and the Saturn specifically, for reasons I can’t quite put my finger on. I think it puts me in mind of Sonic R,...
It’s too early to tell if January will be quiet, steady, or strangely busy for new releases but we can at least expect A Space For The Unbound from Mojiken Studio and publisher Chorus Worldwide. This ‘90s set pixel art adventure takes place in a rural Indonesian community....
Two mainline Pokémon games in the same year may sound like overkill, but chances are development overlapped by a good year or so. All signs also point to Scarlet & Violet building upon Pokémon Legends: Arceus to create an open-world experience with more freedom than before. The eight...
