April’s quiet spell leaves its mark on the chart for a second week running, with the only new arrival in the entire UK top 40 being the Burnout spiritual successor Dangerous Driving at #34. According to Chart-Track, the two Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 4 VR kits “just missed out†on breaking the top 40. They both …
The Xbox One certainly isn’t short on twin-stick shooters. The latest to hit the digital store is different from most, however – it sees you controlling a bullet-spewing butterfly, engaging in garden warfare. Flutter Bombs is available now for £16.74, and after giving the trial version a whirl, we can safely say like what we’ve …
You won’t find this week’s biggest Switch release on the eShop. The Nintendo Labo: Toycon 04 VR Kit launches tomorrow, and to quote The Metro, it provides “a thoroughly enjoyable and surprisingly engrossing mix of VR, handicraft, and edutainment.†So, it’s nothing like the Virtual Boy, then. If VR isn’t your thing, worry not as …
It’s all been leading to this. No, this isn’t a reference to Avengers: Endgame, but rather Three Fields Entertainment’s Dangerous Driving. After releasing a few smaller, digital only, titles (such as the underrated Dangerous Golf) the indie studio has finally launched its magnum opus – an arcade racer that’s Burnout all but in name. The …
A quiet week for new releases, along with a smattering of price drops, has resulted in the UK chart receiving a shake-up. Ubisoft’s The Division 2 has returned to no.1 following a two-week absence. It was knocked off the top spot by Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice just one week after launch and then kept at …
The Tropico series is well established, with players mostly enjoying their forays into running a ‘banana republic’ paradise as El Presidente. Pick the way you want to rule – a despotic capitalist, a benevolent commy or just someone in between, but the fun comes from picking sides. You begin as the ruler of a few …
Things are a rather quiet on PS4 and Xbox One this week, with Borderlands: GOTY Edition being the only major new release. Jolly camp Nintendo is a whole lot busier, thankfully. As per usual, the system gains another batch of belated conversions. From THQ Nordic comes the Zelda alike adventure Darksiders Warmastered Edition, which reportedly …
If it wasn’t for Borderlands: Game Of The Year Edition – available now on PS4 and Xbox One for £24.99 – we would be looking at the quietest week for new releases in a long time. Borderlands: Game Of The Year Edition (which year, exactly?) was announced just a week ago, and features more than …
Mad Max lead us to believe that if our seas and oceans dried up, whoever possesses the largest petrol supply would hold the most power. FAR: Lone Sails shares the theme of a post-apocalyptic world with dried-out seabeds, only here the survivor’s vehicles are equipped with engines that can turn any solid matter into hydro …
The beginning of a new week brings us a new UK top 40. There’s a new no.1, too. This time it’s Nintendo’s turn with Yoshi’s Crafted World on Switch. Believe it or not, it’s the first ever title starring the loveable green dinosaur to claim no.1. Yoshi’s Crafted World isn’t a runaway success, however. GI.biz …
Due to gamers recalling SEGA’s ill-advised Outrun 2019, social media featured more predictable jokes about jetpacks and flying cars on New Year’s Day than usual. When 2030 – the year Xenon Racer is set – comes around, we don’t anticipate jokes about developer 3DCloud’s vision of the future. Eleven years from now, competitive racing still …
With a digital, cloud-based, future on the horizon, preservation is a hot topic within the gaming community of late. If you’re all for ensuring videogames both old and new are available for future generations, SNK 40th Anniversary Collection has probably caught your attention already. It’s a package full of early SNK classics and oddities, each …
Switch owners with a passion for retro gaming will be in their element this week, with more re-releases than usual on the eShop. Stone cold classic Final Fantasy VII is getting the most attention. It not only introduced countless western gamers to the Final Fantasy series, but JRPGs in general – the genre was seen …
This week’s assortment of new releases are an odd bunch, mostly being games that have had a moderate budget – available both at retail and on the download services – yet nobody is talking about them on social media. In fact, Argos has already cut the price of two new releases – Generation Zero and …
The gaming industry sucks at preserving its heritage. Take Super Mario Bros. for example. It’s one of the most important games ever made. Gaming’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Gaming’s Pet Sounds. A creation of genius design and perfect mechanics. The gaming landscape would look completely different had never come along. And yet, Nintendo treats it …
