Sony’s ravishing Shadow of the Colossus remake reasserts Bluepoint as the go-to guys for quality remasters. An all-time classic made even better, it boasts of radically improved visuals and a new photo mode. The £25 asking price seals the deal. After a quiet spell, the Switch bounces back with a trio of new retail releases. …
January ends with a couple of heavy hitters – UFC 3 and Dissidia Final Fantasy NT, two fighting games that couldn’t be further apart. Despite launching on Tuesday, reviews of Dissidia Final Fantasy NT are worryingly thin on the ground. The only review online at present comes from Digitally Downloaded, who handed out an encouraging …
The end of the month is almost upon us, and by the looks of things, publishers are hoping your pay cheque will be partly blown on a new game or two. So much for paying off that post-Christmas credit card bill, eh? We’ve rounded-up reviews for Square-Enix’s traditional RPG Lost Sphear, Sony’s PSVR psychological horror …
The gaming industry is back to its usual self this week, pumping out new releases with little thought for our wallets. Next week looks even busier still, with Dragon Ball FighterZ and Monster Hunter World both due, along with Square-Enix’s RPG Lost Sphear and Sony’s The Inpatient. This week gives us the first batch of …
The industry is starting to wake from its Christmas slumber. A trio of new titles are lined-up for the Xbox One, while the PS4 is due to receive double that figure. Curiously, the PS Blog reports Atari Flashback Classics Vol. 3 is amongst this week’s new releases, despite it being announced just days ago. GameFAQs, …
Usually, the digital stores come to standstill between Christmas and New Year’s Day. There was no seasonal break for the Xbox One store last week though, as a trio of titles turned up unexpectedly. Dustoff Heli Rescue 2 may resemble one of those terrible, terrible, Minecraft clones that plague the Nintendo eShop, but don’t be …
Developers must be banking on the PSVR being a popular Christmas gift, as there’s a wealth of VR titles arriving on PSN this week. The self-explanatory Shooty Fruity seems to be going down well with pundits, and Accounting+ VR – from Justin Roiland, the co-creator of Rick and Morty and William Pugh, the designer of …
It’s easy to forget Capcom’s delightful Okami has seen an HD re-release once before – Okami HD graced the PS3 back in 2013. This week’s release marks the first time it has made it to Xbox, however. Those who have overlooked it in the past are in for a treat. In a nutshell, it was …
We don’t recall Frank West blurting out innuendo during Dead Rising’s cut-scenes, but that hasn’t stopped Capcom from subtitling Dead Rising 4’s PS4 debut Frank’s Big Package. While Dead Rising 4 wasn’t a bad game – we awarded the Xbox One version an above average 6/10 – it’s easily the weakest in the series, watered …
The Switch rules the roost this week – six retail releases are lined up for Friday, including the anticipated JRPG Xenoblade Chronicles 2, the surprisingly slick Gear. Club Unlimited, and the colourful comic book caper LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 reviews aren’t due to drop until tomorrow. If Famitsu’s 35/40 is to go …
It’s a peculiar week for new releases, especially given the time of year. But while there’s no easily identifiable big name title, we still have a few titbits to tide us over. Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier on PS4 (Xbox One version due at a later date) had the potential to be a sleeper …
Not only is Star Wars Battlefront II one of the biggest releases of the year – it’s also one of the most controversial. Loot boxes and pay-to-win elements have been a major cause for concern since the open beta, and in the run-up to release things have spiralled further into despair. It apparently takes 4,528 …
In an ideal world, the Xbox One X would’ve made its debut this week alongside the system showcase Crackdown 3. With MS’s open-world shooter delayed until 2018 however, the Xbox One 2.0 launches with Super Lucky’s Tale…a mediocre, budget-priced, platformer. Sonic Forces hasn’t gained favourable reviews either. While not a travesty of Sonic ’06 proportions, …
Despite waning in popularity over the years, few publishers still dare to go head-to-head with Call of Duty. Case point: just two other retail releases are out this week – muddy off-road racer Spintires: MudRunner, and Ubisoft’s Monopoly for Nintendo Switch. Yes, that’s its proper title. On the Xbox One Store, meanwhile, Microsoft has re-released …
This week’s new release round-up is a tad tardy, simply because we were waiting for reviews of Super Mario Odyssey, Wolfenstein II and Assassin’s Creed Origins to drop. Indeed, it’s a remarkable week for new releases. Super Mario Odyssey has gained full marks from almost every outlet – resulting in a lofty 97% Metacritic score …
