This week was originally looking a little quiet, but as if by magic, a gaggle of new indie releases have appeared. A ‘gaggle’ is the correct term, we believe. The PS4 and PS5 are set to receive the giant monster brawler GigaBash, featuring destructible environments and ten titans to master, along with the Unreal Engine …
Back in the days of the N64 and GameCube, publishers were very careful when it came to planning launch dates. Nintendo themselves was very selective with PAL release dates in particular, holding games back so they didn’t clash with similar titles, or to give first-party games breathing space. Nowadays, it’s a colossal free for all …
If your plan to beat the heat entails sitting inside and playing video games, then we have some good news – around a dozen noteworthy new games launch this week, a couple of which are due on Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Extra. The anticipated PlayStation exclusive Stray leads the way, tasking players with escaping …
Movie tie-ins have certainly become a dying breed – some twenty years ago, almost every big-name blockbuster saw a tie-in game. It took publishers a long time to realise that often the real value is in the franchise itself, not the movie adaptation. Casting back to the days of old, DC League of Super-Pets: The …
If you’re wondering why we haven’t covered AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES Nirvana Initiative, it’s because the Euro console release is trailing behind the rest of the world. American gamers received Spike Chunsoft’s visual novel murder mystery late last month, and critical reviews were full of praise for its investigation scenes, twist-filled plot, and colourful characters. Xbox …
While this week isn’t anywhere near as busy as last week, there’s still plenty of stuff to get stuck into – especially if you’re into racers and offbeat indies. There’s some significant DLC on the horizon, too. Monster Hunter Rise players are likely counting down the days until the Sunbreak expansion, while those still notching …
It seems reasonable to say that even the largest of game sites will struggle to cover every new release launching this week – around thirty new games are upon us, with half of those generating at least a mild buzz on social media. If you’re unable to understand the hype for Sonic Origins, chances are …
If you’re reading this, it means Microsoft didn’t shadow drop any new releases during their not-E3 conference. It’s a moderately busy week regardless, partly thanks to TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge making a surprise appearance. Published by Dotemu (Streets of Rage 4, Windjammers 2, Wonder Boy 3 Remake), this pixel art side-scrolling brawler comes from Tribute Games – a …
June may have only just begun – or at least, it certainly feels like it – and already some of the biggest games of the month are upon us. From 2K Games comes The Quarry, a spiritual successor to Until Dawn developed by Supermassive Games. Unlike Until Dawn, however, this is a multiformat release. It’s a …
If you have a passion for all things retro, this week has you covered. There are not one but two retro collections due, and several new releases have a retro twist. In fact, the vast majority of this week’s releases are presented in glorious 2D. Wonder Boy Collection – out on PS4 and Switch – …
It’s easily the biggest week of the month for new releases, and that’s despite futuristic racer Redout 2 being delayed just days before launch. Sniper Elite 5 from Rebellion is the biggest game of this busy week. We’ve long championed the Sniper Elite games, which have gone strength to strength over the years. Whereas the …
If you’re hankering for something a little different, this week’s assortment of new releases have you covered. It’s a real Kellogg’s Variety Pack of a week. Flying under the radar somewhat, there’s the intriguing Dolmen – a third-person sci-fi adventure best described as Warframe meets The Surge. Yes, it’s a Souls-like, although it seems the …
It’s easy to see why Evil Dead: The Game has fans in a tizzy – it’s a franchise ideally suited for a video game adaptation, and yet, so few Evil Dead games have been released over the years. Developer Saber Interactive has a decent track record too, responsible for the surprisingly great World War Z. …
Although May is light on big-name releases – there’s Evil Dead: The Game next week, and then very little until Sniper Elite 5 and Pac-Man Museum at the end of the month – plenty of smaller titles are lined up and vying for your attention. On the agenda for this week, there’s Trek to Yomi …
It’s one of those weeks where there’s bound to be something on the Switch eShop able to coax money out of your digital wallet – a pleasingly varied assortment of titles covering all genres imaginable, right down to a game where you play as a bar of soap. For sports fans there’s the anticipated Nintendo …
