With ‘big game season’ now underway, officially kickstarted by last week’s EA SPORTS FC 24, it’s no surprise to find another bunch of heavy hitters upon us. Following on from The Crew Motofest, Ubisoft is readying their second big winter release – the anticipated Assassin’s Creed Mirage. As you may be aware, it’s a smaller …
Nothing signifies ‘big game season’ quite like a new entry in the FIFA series. Only, and going forward, EA’s annual sports sim is now known as EA Sports FC. FIFA allegedly wanted $1 billion for a four year license renewal – almost double the usual fee. EA Sports FC 24 reviews dropped on Friday – …
Last week Mortal Kombat 1 and Lies of P gained deluxe early access editions ahead of their standard versions. This week it’s the turn of PAYDAY 3 and EA Sports FC 24 – with the former’s gold and silver editions giving three days of advance playtime, and the latter’s £99.99 Ultimate Edition allowing football fans …
If our page views and X (née Twitter) interactions are to go by, nobody is interested in anything other than Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 at the moment – except perhaps for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 news. A pity, as this week is packed full of promising titles, and there’s a good mixture of genres too. …
This week’s new release round-up looks a lot like last week’s. This is due to both Baldur’s Gate 3 on PS5 and Starfield on Xbox/PC gaining early access editions a few days ago, ahead of this week’s standard versions. Starfield reviews went live last Thursday – something hard to ignore on social media, and likely …
Depending on how you look at it – or perhaps how deep your pockets are – it’s the busiest week for new releases in yonks. Why the ambiguity? Well, Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 are technically out this week, but only if you cough up for their premium and deluxe editions. These aren’t cheap. Starfield …
Last weekend we started working on a feature detailing the vast number of publishers who’ve handled the long-running Armored Core series. Partway through, though, we noticed it wasn’t amounting to much more than a glorified list – prompting a swift push of the ‘delete’ key. It was at least surprising to find just how many …
Rumours of a Red Dead Redemption remake have swirled for some time, so it does seem just that news of a straightforward re-release – priced at £40 – has irked Rockstar fans. While it does feature the Undead Nightmare DLC, it’s lacking the multiplayer component. There’s no native Xbox version either, although this is less …
After being temporarily lost in a sandstorm, Atlas Fallen launches this week. The Deck13 developed action RPG is set in a sand covered world and features large-scale monster confrontations, along with the ability to glide across the sand with style and grace. Shape shifting weapons and co-op play should also help it stand out. The Xbox …
It’s easy to forget that Frontier are behind the F1 Manager series, rather than EA and Codemasters. The home of Elite is about to take the starting grid once more with F1 Manager 2023, promising 23 races, six F1 Sprint events, and new circuits including the Las Vegas strip. Another sequel launching this week is …
2017’s Double Dragon IV, which sported NES-style sprites, was universally panned by critics. With this in mind, it’s easy to see why Arc System Works have handed the reigns to Secret Base for the next installment. In addition to a long list of playable characters, Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons sees the long-running …
Over 1,300 games are out this week. No, really – the retro streaming service Antstream Arcade hits Xbox on Friday, available for £29.99 a year or £79.99 for a lifetime pass. It appears there’s a good mixture of games on the platform, varying from Lucasarts’ adventures such as Monkey Island and Day of the Tenticle, …
Zombies! Dinosaurs! Knights! Martial artists! Drug traffickers! And…squatters? This week’s rogue’s gallery is as varied as they come, giving the chance to live some farfetched dreams. Well, aside from squatting – that one is pretty obtainable, especially if you live in a dilapidated area. From Capcom comes Exoprimal, the over-the-top team-based dinosaur shooter with …
Finally, a respite. After several weeks of big-name releases, the schedule has quietened with only around ten new releases due across both PSN and the Xbox Store. Even the Switch eShop is looking a little calmer than usual. This week’s biggest release is easily Falcom’s RPG The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie on PS5, …
It’s pleasing to see THQ Nordic try and keep the spirit of the original THQ alive. A lot of THQ’s money was made through annual WWF/WWE games, and so THQ Nordic are trying their hand at wrestling too with AEW: Fight Forever. This, of course, follows on from publishing new SpongeBob games. AEW: Fight Forever …
