While Nintendo Switch Sports stands zero chance of beating Wii Sports’ sales – which stood at a colossal 86m copies sold at the end of 2017 – it does stand to reason that it’ll become another evergreen seller, notching up impressive sales over time. Slow and steady wins the race. The compendium brings together six …
We remember a time when a new MotoGP would launch the same week as a Tour de France tie-in. Whereas the latter has seemingly fallen out of favour with gamers, MotoGP keeps on going – the latest entry is out on all formats this week, including Switch, featuring 120 riders, 20 circuits, and the chance …
The Switch rules the roost this week, with very little of note due either on PSN or the Xbox Store. And even then, the biggest Switch release of the week is simply a belated conversion. Atlus’ sci-fi-themed 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim has been worth the wait, though, with some critics claiming that it’s the best …
When LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was officially announced during E3 2019, nobody could have guessed it wouldn’t arrive until three years later. Then again, nobody could have predicted a global pandemic either. Not only has Covid held up the project but getting to grips with a new engine too. At the time of …
After two surprisingly busy months, the industry reverts into a lull – April’s biggest releases can be counted on one hand, with LEGO Star Wars, Chrono Cross, and the Switch’s House of the Dead Remake arriving next week and then very little until Nintendo Switch Sports at the end of the month. Unless you count …
A trio of big-name titles await this week, including Bethesda’s timed PS5 exclusive GhostWire: Tokyo. Originally conceived as The Evil Within 3, it sees Tokyo’s population vanish instantly during a siege by supernatural beings. As one of the few survivors, it’s a case of teaming up with a vengeful spirit to fight back and find …
Square-Enix must be adding a little extra something to their coffee supply – the prolific publisher is back this week with Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, their fourth significant release so far this year. Or perhaps it has more to do with the end of the financial year looming. Stranger of Paradise, developed by Koei …
After a two-year hiatus – if we ignore the maligned Battlegrounds – WWE is finally back on consoles this week, with Rey Mysterio as the cover star and the chance to play through their career highlights. GM Mode is also back for the first time since 2007, focused upon creating your own WWE brand. Assassin’s …
We imagine the majority of gamers that picked up Elden Ring on Friday feel like they’ve barely scratched the surface, yet another wave of anticipated releases are upon us. The timing of Gran Turismo 7 is a little odd too, launching just days after EA’s GRID Legends. Or perhaps EA should have distanced themselves from …
We’re only halfway into February, and already we’ve received some of the year’s biggest releases. Quite how publishers expect us to find the time to play all these games is a mystery, especially when another bunch of time-consuming RPGs are upon us. Elden Ring has been a long time coming, with work underway since 2017. …
Although Horizon Zero Dawn was a mammoth success for Sony, selling over 20 million copies across PS4 and PC, it did have its fair share of naysayers. The most common complaint was that there wasn’t a great deal to do outside of mission objectives; a vast world with little going on, other than roaming adversaries. …
Reviews of OlliOlli World went live a whole five days ahead of launch, showing great confidence from publisher Private Division. If it wasn’t for the PC release of God of War, the skateboarding action-platformer would be the highest rated release of the year so far, with the Switch version boasting an 89% Metacritic. “Tight and …
Following on from last week’s double-whammy of Pokémon Legends: Arceus and the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection comes another pairing of a big-name release and an awaited remaster. Dying Light 2 Stay Human has been a long time coming, first announced in 2018. Some even feared it would never emerge from its development struggles. Techland …
The biggest games of the month coincide with what’s likely to be the first payday of 2022 for many. Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection’s release is also timed perfectly for the upcoming movie. This seems to be a theme for Sony this year, with the rumoured The Last of Us Remake allegedly due around the …
If you enjoy games a little quirky and different, you’ll relish this week’s assortment of new releases. Flying the flag for originality, we have the hyperactive arcade revival Windjammers 2, the canine snapping Pupperazzi, golf RPG hybrid RPGolf Legends, eccentric action RPG Nobody Saves the World – from the creators of Guacamelee – and the …
