Square-Enix is on a roll with their Final Fantasy re-releases, with yet another – Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age for Switch and Xbox One – on this week’s agenda. While it’s great to see FF games on formats that never received them the first time around, Square-Enix seems hellbent on getting them out the …
You may be surprised to learn that sales of the recent Mortal Kombat games far exceed the MK games of yore. While under Midway’s wing, sales of the PS2/Xbox entries would usually clock in between 1-2 million. Since Warner Bros. rebooted the series, sales of each entry are now around the 5-6 million mark. Not …
At a time when zombie games are a dime a dozen, it helps to have a little special something to stand out. Knowing this, Saber Interactive has associated their Left 4 Dead-alike with the 2013 movie World War Z. Having some sort of brand recognition is better than nothing. Besides, WWZ did rather well at …
It’s all been leading to this. No, this isn’t a reference to Avengers: Endgame, but rather Three Fields Entertainment’s Dangerous Driving. After releasing a few smaller, digital only, titles (such as the underrated Dangerous Golf) the indie studio has finally launched its magnum opus – an arcade racer that’s Burnout all but in name. The …
If it wasn’t for Borderlands: Game Of The Year Edition – available now on PS4 and Xbox One for £24.99 – we would be looking at the quietest week for new releases in a long time. Borderlands: Game Of The Year Edition (which year, exactly?) was announced just a week ago, and features more than …
This week’s assortment of new releases are an odd bunch, mostly being games that have had a moderate budget – available both at retail and on the download services – yet nobody is talking about them on social media. In fact, Argos has already cut the price of two new releases – Generation Zero and …
When it was revealed Activision are involved with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, some folk were left scratching their heads. If you’re still confused as to why the house of Call of Duty has picked up publishing rights, ask yourself this: which publisher wouldn’t want a Dark Souls spin-off in their line-up? It’s pleasing to see …
Here’s hoping you’ve had your fill of Anthem, Far Cry New Dawn, Metro Exodus, Crackdown 3, and Apex Legends as another colossal time-sink is upon us – Tom Clancy’s The Division 2. The DC-set loot shooter is out now for those willing to shell out £93 for the Ultimate Edition or £85 for the Gold …
Capcom knows how to pick ‘em. Releases dates, that is. Having already capitalised on the quiet month of January, resulting in Resident Evil II’s record sales, the Japanese publisher has bagged the best possible week for Devil May Cry’s comeback – it’s the quietest one we’ve had in a while. Reviews went live earlier today …
With over twenty new releases on PlayStation 4 alone, it’s one of those weeks where there’s something to cater for all tastes. Even a few genres not usually associated with consoles are covered, with Stellaris: Console Edition bringing deep intergalactic strategy, and 8-Bit Invaders offering accessible RTS battles. There are a few hard to define …
While it’s true that Bioware is more than familiar with sci-fi tropes – and that Mass Effect’s combat improved significantly as the series evolved – we doubt anybody at the studio predicted they’d one day create a sci-fi loot shooter. Indeed, Anthem has a stigma attached that’s hard to shake – a feeling that Bioware …
With no less than four big-name titles vying for both your spare time and money, this week’s new release line-up closer resembles a busy week in October or November. Publishers definitely aren’t hoping Valentine’s Day will drum up extra sales, as all four major releases launch on Friday. This is also why reviews are slow …
Like something out of a Craig David song, Respawn’s Apex Legends was leaked on a Saturday, revealed on a Sunday, and launched on a Monday. Why the stealth launch? With EA’s own Anthem just weeks away, we guess this was deemed the best way to get the public’s attention. Early impressions are positive. It’s a …
Thirteen years have passed since the last main entry in the Kingdom Hearts series. In that time, Square-Enix has kept the franchise alive and in the public’s eye with handheld spin-offs, prequels, and mobile titles, all of which expand the backstory by filling in the gaps. Kingdom Hearts has seen so many spin-offs, in fact, …
There’s no doubting Capcom could’ve pulled out all the stops to launch Resident Evil 2 on the day of its 20th anniversary (21st January), but for whatever reason, they’ve settled on this Friday. It’s probably for the best – a Monday launch would’ve caught many off-guard. The Resident Evil 2 one-shot demo was downloaded over …
