THQ Nordic has picked the perfect time to release Darksiders: Warmastered Edition – both PS4 and Xbox One see very few new games this week. Coupled with an appealing £14.99 price tag, the hack ‘n slash adventure stands a very good chance of breaking the UK top 20 next Monday. God is a Geek gave …
While pre-orders of Watch_Dogs 2 were down significantly over the original, it could end up performing just as well in the long run. If our Twitter feed is to go by, even those who had zero interest in the title beforehand have found themselves adding Ubisoft’s latest open-world adventure to their Christmas lists. This is …
Further proving that this winter is quieter than usual, just one big hitter makes an appearance this week. We do however have a couple of pieces of new hardware and some full-price PSVR games, ready for all the big spenders out there. That single, solitary, big release is Dishonored 2. If you’re hoping to see …
Very few publishers ever want to go head-to-head with the juggernaut that is Call of Duty. As such, this week’s new release line-up is quieter than usual with just a few smaller releases on the agenda. We’re still waiting for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’s review embargo to lift. Once they start to surface we’ll …
And so Titanfall 2 finds itself sandwiched between Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinity Warfare. We’ve already voiced our concerns, worried that it’s going to end up shoved to the wayside. Now that reviews have surfaced however we’re a tad more optimistic about chances of success – like Battlefield 1 before it, reviews with …
When Battlefield 1’s embargo lifted on Monday we struggled to find a single review with a score less than 8/10. Three days on, we’re still struggling. Even the user reviews on the likes of Metacritic are incredibly positive. Having said all this, most critics have settled on an 8 – we’ve only seen a few …
The shelves of gaming emporiums will be bulging with new releases come Friday – by our estimation, 22 new games are expected at retail. It’s an equally busy week for new downloads, too. The majority of these are launch titles for the PlayStation VR. RIGS: Mechanized Combat League, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, Battlezone, Eve …
Next week sees the release of a ridiculous amount of new games, ranging from the Xbox One’s highly anticipated return of Gears of War to Sony’s sizeable PSVR line-up. It’s probably wise, then, that Nintendo has chosen to release two of their biggest winter games a week before the rush. Reviews of Paper Mario: Color …
This week sees the release of what’s likely to become one of 2016’s biggest sellers – EA’s annual update of FIFA. It’s all change for the franchise this year, with the current-gen and PC versions moving over to the Frostbite engine and a new, blatantly NBA 2K16 inspired, single player story mode. As usual, the …
Depending on how flush you feel, Forza Horizon 3 can be yours this week – the £79.99 ‘Ultimate Edition’ goes live at 1am Friday, ahead of next Tuesday’s official release. Reviews went live earlier this week and were full of praise. The demo appears to be going down a treat, too, so no doubt some …
We were mildly surprised to see Dead Rising riding high in Amazon’s movers and shakers list, as the physical release is passing Europe by. It’s Canadian store VideoGames Plus who’s selling import copies on Amazon UK, and they’re obviously doing a roaring trade. If anything, this shows that there’s demand for physical releases of Capcom …
The next fortnight looks exceptionally busy with ReCore and Forza Horizon 3 – the first of MS’s winter big hitters – making an appearance, along with a double whammy of anticipated HD re-releases – Dead Rising Trilogy and Bioshock: The Collection – and a slew of sports games. Until then, we have more than a …
The Xbox One store saw a surprising amount of new releases go live in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Eight games in total, which we believe is a new record. Not that anybody is keeping track. Those eight were The Turing Test, Armello, Hue, Mahjong, 140, Binaries, Resident Evil 4 and The Witcher 3: …
We’re back in the realm of retail releases this week, with seven new games about to descend onto store shelves. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, The King of Fighters XIV and Madden NFL 17 are the big hitters, followed by Worms W.M.D, A.O.T. Wings of Freedom and Assetto Corsa. This leaves us with a physical release …
Considering Ubisoft is renowned for extravagant launch campaigns, it’s sad to see Grow Up – the sequel to the rather lovely Grow Home – slip out on the sly this week. We’d even go as far as saying that Ubisoft’s own Uno has received more press coverage, with reviews appearing a few days before launch. …
