Never mind all the big new games being shown off at E3. This week sees the release of two new titles that you can play now. Well, from Friday officially. The Last of Us and Animal Crossing: A New Leaf couldn’t be more opposite, but both are essential purchases. Late to the PS3 party? Have …
When PopCap first set out to create Plants vs. Zombies we very much doubt that even in their wildest dreams would their twee little “flower defence†game be transformed into third person shooter. A shoot’em up powered by Battlefield 4‘s Frostbite 3 engine, no less. Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare is an announcement from E3 …
If we were asked to describe the special E3 Nintendo Direct in one word, that word would be “safeâ€. The itinerary read like a list of everything we expected, with very little in the way of surprises. That’s unless you count Bayonetta receiving a new haircut, anyway. Pokemon X & Y started the pre-recorded exposé …
On the console front, Sony clearly gave Microsoft a bloody nose last night. However, both the PS4 and Xbox One were slightly lacking in amazing new first party titles, so it was left to Ubisoft to come up with one of the most impressive new titles of the show. Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy’s The Division is …
There are high expectations for this year’s E3 conferences. Microsoft filled in the blanks surrounding the Xbox One, and now it’s Sony’s turn to elaborate on the PlayStation 4. Specifically, what will it actually look like, and how excited should we really be? You can watch the video stream of Sony’s E3 conference below, which …
The quartet of titles forming this year’s Summer of Arcade promotion has been announced, and as always it’s an assortment that’ll cater for all tastes no matter how diverse. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows looks set to be one of Activision’s better licensed games, although to be fair that’s perhaps not saying …
Just as we predicted under a month ago, FIFA 14 will be appearing on Wii but not Wii U. To add further insult to injury, it’s also being released on PlayStation 2 and PSP. Yes – PlayStation 2. If last year’s efforts are to go by though, EA won’t be spending a great deal on …
Microsoft didn’t so much pull a rabbit out of the hat for their E3 conference, but rather a whole warren’s worth of them – the return of franchises new and old, and surprises galore. Apart from a short SmartGlass demo, the conference was solely about software and began in the best possible fashion – in-game …
Capcom’s futuristic third person adventure Remember Me has had a far better launch than EA’s new IP Fuse, entering the UK chart at #3. This sticks a firm two fingers up at the publishers who refuse to believe there’s a demand for titles with female protagonists. Incidentally, Fuse has now left the top 40 entirely …
Grab a jar of granulated coffee and a spoon – E3 is about to begin, and it should be a corker. Well, better than last year’s damp squib at the very least. Microsoft kicks off the conferences tonight at 17:30pm (UK, GMT). With the Xbox One already unveiled all signs point to Microsoft focusing solely …
The kindest thing you can say about The Devil’s Cartel is that it works. Moving from one ever-so conveniently placed piece of cover to the next is a breeze and your AI controlled team-mate listens to and acts upon your every command, like a well-trained pet. The main bad guy is known as ‘El Diablo’ …
With Capcom now focusing development back onto their internal studios, chances are Remember Me and Lost Planet 3 will be amongst the last titles from their collaborations with Western developers. Although the jury is still out on Lost Planet 3, it’s safe to say that Remember Me has turned out far greater than the likes …
You’d have to be either very dumb or incredibly naive to deny that Dumb Ways to Die is a blatant clone of Nintendo’s Wario Ware. Unlike many of the App Store’s copycats though, it’s very easy to look past the plagiarism on the account that it has clearly had a bit of love and attention …
The tech press is getting in a right froth over smart watches. Honestly, don’t they remember the Game Watch? The calculator watch had been around since the 1970s, and a decade later the next step was the game watch. US company Nelsonic Industries was at the forefront of this exciting technological frontier. The games were …
An era of self-discovery has come to an end – the Official PlayStation Magazine UK will no longer include a demo disc. Back in the days of the PSone and PlayStation 2, firing up the latest OPM cover disc and discovering a hidden gem – or even finding out a game is less rubbish than …
