This week’s new release roster reads like the Radio Times – amongst the few big hitters due there’s Hitman: Episode 2 – Sapienza, King’s Quest: Chapter 3 – Once Upon a Climb and The Walking Dead: Michonne: Episode 3 – What We Deserve. VideoGamer gave Hitman’s second episode a lofty 9/10. “Bar some jarring AI …
Last week you could count the amount of new releases on one pair of hands. We don’t know why you’d want to do this, but it was entirely feasible. This week the PS4 alone sees 12 new releases. The majority of these are on other formats, mind. Two of them (Masquerade: The Baubles of Doom …
It’s a quiet week for new releases, with only Dark Souls III and the new Nintendo Wii U Selects range arriving at retail. Has Dark Souls become a franchise so large that no other publisher dares to go up against it? Quite possibly, as there are very few new releases on the download services too. …
This week sees two big hitters, both of which are available to purchase right now – Remedy’s time-altering shooter Quantum Break and Codemaster’s console conversion of DiRT Rally. We rounded-up Quantum Break’s reviews late last week. In short: scores have been mixed, varying from Digital Spy’s 5/5 to Giant Bomb’s 2/5. The majority of reviews …
Season 1 of Xbox One launch title Killer Instinct saw the old gang getting back together for a spot of mindless ultra violence. For Season 2, Iron Galaxy took the reins from Double Helix and updated the roster with four of their own creations and four returning rivals. Season 3 – which kicks off this …
Considering the Easter weekend is almost upon us, this week isn’t quite as jam packed with new releases as we expected. We are being treated to a of trio pleasant surprises however, with Rockstar to thank for two – PS4 re-releases of Bully and Manhunt. As well as a 1080p up-scaling, they also feature Trophies …
This week sees the release of three very different fighting games – EA Sports UFC 2, the Wii U’s Tekken-alike Pokken Tournament and the raunchy Senran Kagura Estival Versus. They’re the only retail releases due out until next week’s Easter rush, so we hope you’re up for a bout of fisticuffs. Reviews of all three …
There’s only one big name title willing to go against Ubisoft’s eagerly awaited Tom Clancy’s The Division, and that’s Square-Enix’s Hitman. Or to be more precise, roughly half of Hitman – this time round the series is being given the episodic approach. Cause for concern is understandable, but if the developers accomplish what they set …
Last week treated us to a double whammy of Far Cry Primal and PvZ: Garden Warfare 2. This week is far more modest in comparison – every single retail release is a re-release of some description. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess gets a digital dust off for Wii U, packaged with a fancy amiibo …
When the original Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare was announced it provoked a fair amount of eye-rolling. Like many, we expected a generic team-based shooter coated in PvZ decor. But what we received was far beyond that – a fun, accessible and well-balanced shooter with brilliantly designed maps. There was only one small downfall – …
‘Down, forward, punch’ – Street Fighter V hits PlayStation 4 this week, but if player feedback is go by it would have benefited from some extra development time. Fans feel disappointed by the lack of content, the shortness of the story mode and stability of the online servers. We’ve seen all kinds of negative first …
This week sees the release of both Unravel and Firewatch, two very different adventure games that have been eagerly awaited since their E3 reveals. Firewatch has snuck up on us – we thought it was still a few months off – while Unravel has had a hefty amount of promotion, especially on the Xbox One …
February is hardly crammed with big name releases – Far Cry Primal and PvZ: Garden Warfare 2 are about as ‘big’ as this month gets. Thankfully there’s a sizeable assortment of smaller low-budget titles, indie releases and obscure Japanese games to keep us going. Next week in particular looks set to be a gem of …
Reviews of LEGO Marvel’s Avengers went live on Tuesday, coinciding with its US release date. We did consider compiling a review round-up, but all reviews currently available are around the 8/10 mark – it wouldn’t be a particularly exciting, or surprising, round-up to read. Although it’s easy to get the impression that this is just …
If somebody ever claims that January is always quiet for new releases, just remind them of this week – by our estimate there are over twenty games hitting a combination of PSN, Xbox One and good old bricks and mortar stores. We’ll start with retail releases first, as these are 2016’s first. The 3DS gets …
