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 …
Square-Enix has expressed concerns about Final Fantasy XVI’s pre-orders falling short. The fact that it’s a PS5 exclusive, skipping both the PS4 and Xbox One/Xbox Series, may have something to do with this. Or perhaps nobody wants to spend 50+ hours with a hero named Clive. Joking aside (and apologies to anyone called Clive) Final …
If you’re able to tear yourself from Diablo IV, Street Fighter 6, and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you’ll find another assortment of new releases vying for your attention. Big hitters for this week include EA and Codemasters F1 23 – with a new ‘Braking Point’ story mode – and Bandai-Namco’s busy looking, gravity-defying, theme …
If social media chatter is to be believed, Diablo IV is about to become a new obsession for many. Reviews went live last week and were full of praise, with many critics claiming that it’s Blizzard’s magnum opus. Some critics, however, were cautious about incoming microtransactions, hoping that it doesn’t merely become a vehicle for …
“Everybody was street fightin’. Those kicks were fast as lightning.” Wait – that’s not right. There is at least an element of truth in those lyrics, as unlike Street Fighter V, this week’s Street Fighter 6 heads to both PlayStation and Xbox formats. Sorry, Switch owners. Maybe next generation, eh? SF6 appears to be a …
Grab a caffeinated beverage or three. It’s another one of those weeks where the number of new releases is vast. Just how someone would possibly find the time, and money, to play them all is beyond us – especially when so much decent stuff is due. Next week, too, is looking alarmingly busy. One mercy …
There’s an odd trend to this week’s assortment of new releases, with many having a doppelganger. We can expect two arcade-style stunt-filled racers in the form of LEGO 2K Drive, and Ubisoft’s free-to-play remaster of Trackmania. Two retro platformers also receive re-releases – the PS4 version of Zool Redmimensioned, which adds new local party games, …
Even though close to thirty Zelda games have been released since 1986, the arrival of a new entry in the series always feels like a special occasion. This is partly thanks to Nintendo spacing them a few years apart – Breath of the Wild, lest we forget, is now over five years old. Nintendo is …
