January continues to impress where new releases are concerned, with this week presenting us with two big name games – Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India and indie darling The Banner Saga. We were expecting the console iterations of Gone Home too, but sadly they were hit with a last minute delay. Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India – …
With nine new releases, PS4 owners have plenty of potential purchases to consider this week. Hardware: Rivals is the obvious no brainer – it’s one of this month’s PS Plus freebies, alongside Grim Fandango Remastered. There are no reviews of Hardware: Rivals just yet as it launched just a day ago. Reviews of Harmonix’s long …
A new release round-up between Christmas and New Year? We’re as surprised as you are. Speaking of surprises, Nintendo has sprung Story of Seasons onto the unassuming public out of nowhere. Well, almost out of nowhere – Amazon has had the release date listed as 31st December for the past few weeks, which we simply …
Christmas is but days away, yet the new releases keep on coming. This little lot below could very well be the final releases of 2015 as we’re sure the digital services go into ‘sleep mode’ over the festive season, save for the digital Christmas sales and whatnot. On PSN there’s avian romance adventure Hatoful Boyfriend: …
According to Amazon the last two retail releases of 2015 are due this week. We wouldn’t get too excited though, as they’re merely PS3 ‘Essential’ re-releases of Dead Or Alive 5 and Ninja Gaiden 3. Expect to pay around £10 each. In Ninja Gaiden 3’s case, that’s around £5 too much. We enjoyed Yaiba: Ninja …
Don’t head into town expecting to see an array of new releases on store shelves this week. Not because the shops are full of rude and arrogant Christmas shoppers, but because no retail releases are due out. Stay at home, pop the kettle on and put your feet up – it’s a very busy week …
Typically we see big name releases launch at the end of the month, just in time for payday. December isn’t your typical month though, and so the last of 2015’s big hitters are out this week ready to be purchased, wrapped up and placed under the Christmas tree. With a bit of luck Just Cause …
If it wasn’t for Bloodborne – Game of the Year Edition this week would be an utter write-off as far as retail releases are concerned, leaving us with physical releases of Tiny Troopers Joint Ops and Pure Hold’em World Poker Championships on PS4 and some 3DS Fireman Sam game. We thought he’d retired long ago. …
How many hours of entertainment do you expect to get from a full-price video game? With many critics claiming that Star Wars Battlefront is light on content, that’s a question you should probably ask yourself before blowing fifty big ones on EA’s latest shooter. It’s a decent game that’s surprisingly accessible, but you may be …
Rise of the Tomb Raider and Fallout 4 have more in common than simply being two of this winter’s biggest releases. Reviews went live on Monday and general consensus has it that both are highly similar to their predecessors. While many franchises routinely receive a kicking for being over familiar though, critics are in agreement …
Even with less hype and fanfare surrounding this year’s Call of Duty, it would seem that only one publisher is willing to go up against Activision’s juggernaut. That publisher is EA with Need for Speed – one of just two big name games out this week. Reviews of Need for Speed started to surface earlier …
If you read our Halo 5: Guardians review round-up – or simply read a handful of reviews elsewhere online – you would have seen that scores haven’t been universally positive. It’s certainly facing the most mixed reception of any Halo game so far, with the single-player mode in particular coming under fire. Since writing our …
This Friday sees the return of one of the biggest franchises around – Assassin’s Creed. Wisely, Ubisoft has ditched multiplayer in favour of bringing Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s single-player mode back to the glory days of Assassin’s Creed II – often referred to as a defining moment in the series. Although we don’t doubt that it’ll …
Two new Telltale games in one week? What madness is this? No madness here, squire – just Telltale exercising the right to exploit their back catalogue. There are two Just Dance games out next week though. Now that is madness. Telltale’s Minecraft: Story Mode and Back to the Future: The Game both launched on Wednesday. …
There’s more than meets the eye to Activision’s latest Transformers game. What could have easily been a quick and cheap cash-in has turned out to be a recommended purchase for fans of Transformers and Platinum Games’ previous efforts alike. Transformers Devastation borrow a lot from Bayonetta and that’s not the only reason why it has …
