We’ve long wished for a SEGA Master System collection. This week, that dream becomes a reality. Well, kind of – SEGA’s investigative adventure Lost Judgment contains eight playable SMS games, including Enduro Racer, Woody Pop, Penguin Land, and Alex Kidd in Miracle World. We guess this means Lost Judgment has Alex Kidd in Miracle World …
More? More games? If you’ve finished those you already own, then sure – we’re happy to oblige. Providing you promise you aren’t telling us a porky. The PS5 gains another exclusive, in the form of Arkane’s Deathloop – a time loop involving eight-character assassinations, tasking you with breaking the cycle. After making sense of the …
This week’s new release round-up has been bothersome to compile, simply because publishers can’t settle on a single date. Sonic Colours: Ultimate was available Friday for those who purchased the deluxe edition, while the standard edition is out this week. Hoping to purchase the retail release? That’s now out in October due to a manufacturing …
A weird and wonderful assortment of new games lies before us this week, with plenty to tempt. A good reminder of how vast the gaming spectrum has become nowadays, we’d say. Roll up, roll up, and witness KeyWe– a co-op adventure where two kiwis are tasked with keeping a mailroom ticking over – the surprisingly …
Even though a new Aliens game was inevitable, we have a feeling Aliens: Fireteam Elite’s existence is down to the surprise success of Sabre’s vastly belated World War Z tie-in. There’s a bunch of franchises that fit neatly into the co-op online shooter mould, as evidenced by Sabre picking up the rights for The Evil …
The annual deluge of sporting updates is upon us, with EA this week carrying Madden NFL 22 to the end zone. The Dynasty and MVP editions – which clock in at an eye-watering £109.99 and £89.99 respectively – give three-day early access and a bunch of items, fantasy packs, and the Brady Gear Capsule. The …
A handful of already released games make their way to new formats, ergo larger audiences, this week. Foremost, the excellent indie RPG Hades makes the jump from Switch and PC to the PS4, PS5 and Xbox family. Gearbox’s pretty but vacuous PS5 launch title Godfall dives onto PS4, just in time for new DLC, while …
Last week publishers were tripping over themselves to get their new releases out the door. There were so many new games that we even felt that some – such as The Forgotten City, Fuga: Melodies of Steel and Horror Tales: The Wine – were being pushed aside. This week? The quietest we’ve seen in months. PS …
It’s one of those rare weeks where there’s bound to be a new release to suit, no matter how offbeat your tastes are. For Microsoft, especially, it’s a busy week – the Xbox Series X/S is about to get a huge shot in the arm with Microsoft Flight Simulator and The Ascent, two console exclusives. …
We love a good pun, and Akiba’s Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed – out this week on PS4 and Switch – delivers on that front. This PSP remake involves ripping the clothes off vampires so they’re exposed to sunlight. Debriefing them, see. You can check out our preview, ahead of tomorrow’s review, here. Cotton Reboot, again …
If you’re under the impression Codemasters’ Formula One games are earlier every year, then you’re right – the long-running publisher, now under EA’s wing, has found success in launching F1 during the quieter summer months. This year’s release offers a two-player story mode titled Braking Point, and new split-screen multiplayer. The deluxe version launches Tuesday, …
July’s big-name releases are spread thinly, with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD and F1 2021 Deluxe Edition due next week and then a lull until the likes of Cris Tales, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and Samurai Warriors 5 arrive at the end of the month. This week is quite Switch centric – Nintendo’s platform …
It’s a moderately busy week for new releases, presumably because we’re getting two weeks’ worth of games due to the E3 hiatus. On the agenda for this week, there’s SEGA’s Olympic Games Tokyo 2020: The Official Video Game – with an unexpected silly steak, adding daft costumes – Baldur’s Gate spiritual successor Dungeons & Dragons: …
E3 is upon us, meaning it’s a predictably quiet week for new releases. Publishers, developers, and PR companies are too busy showing off their upcoming games to usher a new release out the door. However, E3 week can also be one filled with surprises. A continuing trend is to ‘shadow drop’ new titles during conferences …
The UK is currently experiencing a heatwave, meaning it’s the perfect time to stay in and play video games. If you’re planning to shield from the sun’s rays, then you’re in luck – it’s a busy week for new releases, especially considering the time of year. The PlayStation 5 puts in a strong showing with …
