This week’s UK top ten includes no less than six Switch games, with Animal Crossing: New Horizons retaking the top spot. This pushes Ghost of Tsushima to #2. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe rises to #3, and then at #4 it’s a resurgence for FIFA 20. With FIFA 21 around the corner, retailers are starting to …
With almost twenty new releases on Xbox One alone, we can safely say it’s a busy week for new releases. Amongst these are two big hitters – EA’s UFC 4, which cranks up the realism this year to allow for a greater variety of outcomes, and Ubisoft’s free-to-play shooter Hyper Scape. Hyper Scape is Ubisoft’s …
Rachel tackled the recently released psychological horror What Happened on Twitch last night, clips of which are now available on YouTube. If you missed our review, this bleak first-person adventure left us feeling a little nauseous due to the LSD trip sequences. Rachel didn’t have to reach out for a ‘baff bag’ while on camera, …
It’s an odd week for the Switch – the eShop line-up mostly consists of indie oddities. There aren’t many reviews floating around for the majority either. It’s suspiciously quiet on that front. Multiformat release Skully heads to both retail and the eShop, and is one of the few games to get the review treatment. …
If you’re done with DOOM Eternal, Hellbound may pique your interest – it’s a fast-paced first-person shooter inspired by DOOM, Quake and similar late ‘90s shooters. Guts, gristle, and demons galore. Best of all, it’s available now – Hellbound launched on Steam yesterday for £11.39. A 20% discount is also in place during launch week, …
We’ve chosen Fast & Furious Crossroads as this week’s biggest release as it’s a full-price title – very few of which are due during August– and it comes from the team behind the highly-regarded Project CARS series. This isn’t Bandai-Namco’s first Fast & Furious game either, believe it or not – they had a crack …
The majority of last week’s retail releases managed to break into the UK top 40. THQ’s Destroy All Humans! remake was the best selling, arriving at #3. Skater XL – which hasn’t exactly seen a great deal of press coverage – debuted within the top ten too, making a respectable #7. Outside of the top …
Something is fascinating about games daring to tackle mental health of any form, trying hard to illustrate the pain and anguish people go through. What Happened – out now on PC and coming soon to consoles – takes us down this bleak path. It’s a psychological thriller which casts you into the life and mind …
Fans of all things Japanese are well catered for this week, with a hefty dose of JRPGs and visual novels imminent on the Switch eShop. JRPG Megadimension Neptunia VII was given the review treatment by Noisy Pixel and VideoChums. Both agreed this Switch conversion needed some extra TLC but found it to be an enjoyable …
As horror games go, this indie adventure has greater appeal than most. Both history buffs and those with a passion for all things supernatural will revel in its Welsh folklore, with a plot drawing upon the 1872 novel The Maid of Sker – a chilling tale of the allegedly haunted Sker House. In keeping with …
Ghost of Tsushima has managed to hold onto the UK chart top spot for a second week. Paper Mario: The Origami King wasn’t as fortunate – the Switch exclusive fell from #2 to #4. Animal Crossing: New Horizons takes its place #2. Codemasters’ F1 2020 held onto #3, proving popular. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and …
2005’s Destroy All Humans! is the newest remaster on the block, and all signs point to it being on par with THQ Nordic’s recent HD revamps – the demo version showcased an impressive makeover, with a bright and vibrant game world and alluring explosion effects. Our only concern is that the game’s humour – centred …
PC gamers have been snickering at Crysis Remastered on Switch, asking how it could possibly be a remaster when the Switch doesn’t have the power to run the base game, let alone a revamp. Eurogamer’s Digital Foundry managed to shed some light, claiming that until the Xbox One/PS4 versions arrive next month, this is the …
No game in recent memory pulled a three-sixty on us as quickly as Aircraft Evolution did. Although an arcade shooter of the explosion heavy carpet-bombing variety, it initially appears to have a surprising amount of depth. It has resource management – special bombs and repair kits must be purchased before a mission starts – and …
Like a sympathetic talent show judge, we’re willing to say both Ghost of Tsushima and Paper Mario: The Origami King are UK chart winners this week. Ghost of Tsushima had no trouble claiming no.1. According to GI.biz it had a better first week than Days Gone but fell well short of beating The Last of …
