In an ideal world, Konami would’ve allowed continued development of Kojima Productions’ Silent Hills and put the franchise back on track some ten years ago, ready to go toe-to-toe with Capcom’s Resident Evil remakes. Skip forward to this week, and the Japanese publisher has made the first steps at putting things right – the Silent …
Spooky season is upon us, and while we’ve seen more horror games than usual over the past couple of weeks, Sony officially kicks October off with their PS5/PC release of Until Dawn. The 2015 horror slasher has been rebuilt using Unreal Engine 5 and now includes a re-cut narrative and new locations. A third-person camera …
With digital sales leading the way, the phrase ‘setting tills ringing’ is mostly irrelevant in the world of gaming nowadays. This week though is different: The Legend of Zelda and EA Sports FC (nee FIFA) are franchises that always perform well at retail, with EA Sports FC 24 remaining in the UK’s top ten since …
With over thirty new releases due on the Xbox Store alone, it’s another busy week for new releases. Quite a curious selection, including anticipated indies, retro inspired titles, and a couple of remasters. EA Sports FC 25 also gains its £99.99 early access edition ahead of next week’s rollout, with a few head starts for …
Two of this week’s new releases have already had the review treatment, courtesy of their deluxe early access editions. To say Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is a long time coming sequel would be an understatement – the original was published in 2011 by the original THQ. A sequel not only from a different publisher …
The dust has only just settled on Black Myth: Wukong and Concord, yet another major PS5 release is already on the horizon. Astro Bot sees the playful robot on a planet-hopping quest to find his lost crew, crammed to the rafters with cameos from other Sony properties. Recent previews were remarkably positive. PS Plus subscribers …
It’s reassuring to see that even in these times of financial uncertainty, publishers still hold back releases to coincide with monthly paydays. For reasons unknown, save perhaps for gamescom causing a backlog, there’s a bumper bounty of new releases to tie-in with the end of August. Ubisoft has a new open-world adventure to explore. Star …
It’s a promising week for new releases, especially for those with a PS5 under their TV. Next week is looking even busier still, with around a half a dozen anticipated new releases due. It’s a cliché to say it, but we’re unsure how anyone could possibly find the time to play them all. On the …
Although the Xbox misses out on next week’s anticipated Black Myth: Wukong, now confirmed to launch at a later date, this week does offer up a conversion of the former PS5 exclusive Kena: Bridge of Spirits. It’s a similar story driven adventure with puzzle solving and fast-paced combat, set in a corrupted world that needs …
Sequels! The cornerstone of the industry, intended not only to improve and expand upon their predecessors but also capitalise on their success. As much as we appreciate new IP, a follow-up to a renowned title can be just as exciting, if not more. Three sequels are on this week’s agenda, no less. Volgarr the Viking …
A new month is (almost) us. August isn’t looking too shabby for new releases, offering plenty of variety. Next week gives us Konami’s shoot’em up CYGNI: All Guns Blazing, pixel art action platformer Volgarr the Viking II, and the nautical adventure SteamWorld Heist II. Then towards the end of the month, there’s Quantic Dream’s Dustborn, …
EDF! EDF! EDF! After a slight delay, D3’s schlocky sci-fi shooter Earth Defence Force 6 finally lands on PS4 and PS5 this week. The press release suggests we’re in for a fun if familiar time, with a bunch of new weapons to discover and a long list of missions to tackle. The story takes place …
Sweet Jeebus. It’s one of the busiest weeks of the year so far, with several anticipated indies due, along with new titles from Capcom, EA, SEGA, Plaion, and Nintendo. The majority have review embargos that lift on July 16th so expect a colossal content drop across the gaming sphere. From the major publishers, there’s College …
July’s Game Pass drop sees a trio of belated releases hit the Xbox for the first time. From Annapurna Interactive comes the critically acclaimed Neon White, a fast-paced first-person demon-obliterating adventure set beyond the gates of Heaven. Tchia, meanwhile, is an open world physics-driven sandbox taking place on a Tropical archipelago. Then there’s The Case of …
July looks hotter than the PS5 consoles sat in Cash Converter’s window, with an enticing selection of titles due. The middle of the month sees a glut of indies, including Flock, Magical Delicacy, Let’s School, and SCHiM, while the month’s end sees Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, EA Sports College …
