The first month of the year is always a quiet one for new releases, but there is usually at least one big name game out. Last year we had DmC – a game which many seemingly forgot about when compiling their GOTY lists – and also the budget priced Anarchy Reigns. Only two games, yes, …
Three releases are arriving at retail just in time for Christmas, but they aren’t exactly ones we can elaborate on. To wit – the 3DS version of the manky Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon, Zumba Kids on Wii and a ridiculously priced re-release of Red Faction Guerrilla via new license holder Nordic Games. If we …
Praise be for digital downloads – if it wasn’t for the likes of Peggle 2 and Doki-Doki Universe we’d only have two retail release to talk about this week. Those two heading to retailers? Wii Fit U and the belated Wii U version of Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I Don’t Know. We reviewed …
Even though it’s only the beginning of December, this week sees the release of the last two major games of the year – Gran Tursimo 6 and Bravely Default. It’s pleasing to see Sony still supporting the PlayStation 3 with the likes of Gran Turismo 6 and Racket & Clank: Into the Nexus, instead of …
American gamers have had their beloved PlayStation 4 consoles for a few weeks now, thus giving those living outside the US an early heads-up about to what expect from the launch titles. Killzone: Shadow Fall follows suits from the rest of the games in the series – oh so pretty, but lacking any true innovation. …
Credit cards at the ready – the next two weeks are shaping up to be the biggest in gaming in a very long time. On Friday the humble Xbox 360 will be rendered outdated after eight years of honourable service, while the 3DS and PS Vita receive their big Christmas games – The Legend of …
New kid on the block LEGO Marvel Super Heroes builds on Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes in every single way, critics claim. We have no reason not to believe them – reviews went live as way back as 22nd October, including a 9.0 from IGN and 9/10 from Eurogamer. It speaks volumes that Warner …
It’s a bit of a funny old week for new releases. Why so, you ask? Well, there’s a new PlayStation 2 game for starters in the form of Konami’s PES 2014. It’s also out on PSP this week if you still have one of those as your handheld of choice. The Wii U and 3DS …
Two big games this week. You may have noticed. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag first, if only because it started bothering the world on Tuesday. It’s been sailing through a sea of 9s, including Eurogamer, GameSpot and CVG. CVG also lobbed a 9 Battlefield 4‘s way, while Eurogamer and GameSpot went with 8s. It’s not …
This week sees the release of a hotly anticipated bat-based sequel that has so far remained hidden in the shadows, muttering quietly in an oddly deep voice. Batman: Arkham Origins makes its way on to Xbox 360 and PS3 (and PC), alongside Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate on the PS Vita. Earlier games in the series, …
It’s a slightly subdued week for new releases – just two major titles, along with a handful of smaller games and a few Wii re-releases. The coming few weeks are crammed with new things to play though – unless Amazon is mistaken, twelve new titles are out next week alone. Skylanders Swap Force leads the …
Just like Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain before it, Quantic Dream’s PlayStation 3-exclusive Beyond: Two Souls has been met to incredibly mixed reviews. An interactive psychological thriller starring Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe, it tells the story of Jodie Holmes – a young woman who possesses supernatural powers. The globe-trotting adventure spans 15 years of Jodie’s …
Following on from Pikmin 3, this week sees the release of another title that Nintendo hopes will improve the Wii U’s market share. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD may not see a huge surge in sales though, due to being a remake. A new Zelda, on the other hand, would have done …
Here’s food for thought – will GTA V harm FIFA 14’s sales? The demographic between the two are rather alike, and GTA V is a mighty big game – some may hold off buying anything else until they’ve finished it. It has also been said that FIFA 14 won’t topple FIFA 13’s sales figures due …
Grand Theft Auto V isn’t just this week’s biggest release, but arguably the biggest release of this generation. Chart Track has revealed that 1.57m copies were sold on launch day, leading it to become the UK’s fastest selling game ever. The previous record holder was Call of Duty: Black Ops with 1.41m copies sold. If …
