Although a fair few new games are out this week, your piggy bank shouldn’t take too much of a pounding as not a single one is being released at full price. We’ll take a look at ScreamRide first because reviews started to appear online as far back as Monday. Developer Frontier has worked on numerous …
The zombie bandwagon shows no signs of slowing. This week alone sees not one but two undead undertakings, and they’re about to be followed by Rebellion’s imminent Zombie Army Trilogy. The zombie filled duo out this week are Dying Light – the retail release of which was delayed in Europe, lest you forget – and …
PlayStation 4 exclusive The Order 1886 has set tongues wagging this week, but not exactly for the best of reasons. This is all down to an entire walkthrough being uploaded to YouTube prior to the game’s release. The length of that video? Around five hours. Considering Ready at Dawn’s supernatural third-person shooter has no multiplayer …
Just like last month’s Dying Light, reviews of Evolve have been slow to surface. The reason for this is that many reviewers felt passing judgement before the servers became fully populated would be unfair. With the game now out, reviews are finally starting to trickle through. GameSpot got the ball rolling with their 8/10. In …
First, an apology – during last week’s round-up we incorrectly stated that Evolve is out this week. We don’t think anybody noticed that slip up, so we probably could have got away with it. Still, consistency and comprehensiveness is what we strive for, all typos aside. Retail offering for this week are relatively few, which …
It’s fair to say that Dying Light isn’t off to the smoothest of starts. For those not aware, the retail version’s European release date has been pushed back to 27th February leaving those looking forward to some mindless zombie slaying with just one option – cough up £54.99 for the digital version. Well, that or …
Deep Silver must hope not many gamers are a expecting a colossal post-Christmas credit card bill – the cumbersomely titled combo pack Saints Row IV Re-Elected/Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell was originally due out in February but brought forward to this week. Eurogamer reports that – challenges aside – the Gat Out of Hell …
This week brings loads of new DLC for various titles, along with a single retail release – Bandai-Namco’s curiously titled ‘Fighting Edition’ collection for PS3. Priced at around £20, it includes Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Soul Calibur V and Tekken 6. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 still sells for more than a tenner these days (it’s …
As our round-up of January’s new releases showed, this month is a surprisingly busy one. The likes of Dying Light, Saints Row IV Re-elected and Raven’s Cry aren’t due out until the end of the month however, and as such this week is almost a non-event. Almost. See, there is at least one new arrival …
Last month publishers were clambering over one another to get their games onto store shelves. This month? The final retail release of the year was in fact launched last week. So let’s take a look at this week’s downloadable offerings, shall we? The timing for console renditions of Risk and Trivial Pursuit couldn’t be any …
Last week saw the amount of new releases begin to slow. This week it’s all but a trickle, with just one title heading to retail. The last retail release of the year, no less. That game is Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris: Gold Edition, which includes the season pass, a Lara figurine, an …
The barrage of new releases begins to slow down this week, with just three titles heading to retail. Next week is quieter still, with what appears to be the final retail release of the year. If you’re wondering where reviews of The Crew – which launched on Tuesday – are, Ubisoft did provide an explanation. …
It’s a potentially expensive week for Nintendo fans – this Friday sees the launches of Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and the first wave of Amiibo figures. Ka-ching! There’s also Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth and WayForward’s apparently not too bad Adventure Time: The Secret of the Nameless Kingdom …
After next week’s heavily Nintendo-oriented slew of releases the annual barrage of big name games starts to slow. December is looking very quiet indeed. This is no surprise – the last month of the year is usually void of major new releases. Why publishers can’t hold a couple of titles back until then, instead of …
Ubisoft releasing two Assassin’s Creed games on the same day sounds like the start of a bad joke. There’s no punchline here though – this Friday it’s really happening. Won’t somebody think of the easily confused parents? Assassin’s Creed Unity and Assassin’s Creed Rogue launched in the US on Tuesday, a few days ahead of …
