Here’s an example of the age-old saying “as one door closes, another opens†– this month sees the final issues of both gamesTM and GamesMaster hitting newsstands, but just as word broke of their closure came the reveal of a new gaming magazine. At a time when print is seemingly on the way out, its …
HomeBearStudios are currently wrapping up work on NAIRI: Tower of Shirin, a story-driven puzzle adventure for Switch and PC, featuring hand-drawn 2D visuals and a cast of curious critters. It stars Nairi, a troubled upper-class girl who’s forced to abandon her luxurious way of living after discovering the titular Tower of Shirin – a mysterious …
We have no qualms in admitting that we scoffed at Tetris Effect’s £34.99 price tag. “How can they justify charging almost full price?†we whined. After spending just ten minutes with last week’s demo all became clear – the production values are through the roof. You’ve never played a Tetris game this slick and polished …
Red Dead Redemption 2 wasn’t able to become the fastest selling game of the year, failing to beat FIFA 19’s launch week sales, but it has achieved stronger second week sales than any other game this year. Or in fewer words: it’s still selling incredibly well. Four new releases also break the top 40, with …
When it comes to titles aimed at younger gamers, Climax Studios probably isn’t the first developer that springs to mind. But over the years, the Portsmouth-based outfit has created more family-friendly titles than you may expect, including tie-ins for Disney and some of the earliest LEGO-based games available for consoles. With this in mind, it …
Data miners have apparently found traces of Diablo amiibo in Diablo III: Eternal Collection, which is all well and good…but how does the game itself fare? The answer is that it holds up incredibly well for a six-year-old game, with review scores clocking in as high as 9/10. Other big hitters for this week include …
Call of Cthulhu and Diablo Eternal Collection are this week’s big-name releases. If neither takes your fancy, then worry not – there’s a larger assortment of new indies than we usually see. Developers kept out of Red Dead Redemption 2’s way last week, presumably. There’s also Bandai Namco’s arcade-style rhythm action title Taiko no Tatsujin: …
If you thought it was odd that Sony expected gamers to cough up £90 for a PlayStation Classic pre-order before the full line-up was revealed, then you aren’t alone. Initially we believed this was down to Sony still penning licensing deals but having seen the full list – revealed earlier today – part of us …
As proven in school playgrounds for countless generations, playing football is far more popular than pretending to be a cowboy. That’s to say, FIFA 19 remains the fastest selling game of 2018, prompting Red Dead Redemption 2 to settle for second place. This is certainly nothing to sniff it – it means Rockstar’s magnum opus …
The Switch eShop seemingly isn’t affected by Red Dead 2 hype, as this week’s line-up of new titles in the biggest yet – 37 games in total, along with a handful of demos. There’s a new ‘Gaming on The Go’ sale underway too, which includes a bunch of horror games. Speaking of all things Halloween, …
Somewhat unsurprisingly, only publishers with games aimed at completely different demographics to Red Dead Redemption 2 dare to go up against Rockstar’s 60 hour long magnum opus. That’s to say, it’s doubtful anybody will be mulling over whether to buy RDR2 or Paw Patrol: On a Roll this Friday. Marvel’s Spider-Man does gain new DLC, …
If you strolled into a McDonald’s during July 2002 you may have walked away with more than a paper bag full of fat, salt, and sugar. The popular fast-food chain had penned a deal with Sony to give away four free PlayStation demo discs, available only with the ‘big bag’ PlayStation Meal – a selected …
This week’s UK top 40 sees four new arrivals. Or five if you count the Switch version of Dark Souls Remastered – technically, it’s a re-entry. None of the newcomers could disrupt the top of the chart though, with Call of Duty: Black Ops III taking the top spot for a second week. The online-focused …
Future Publishing’s GamesMaster and gamesTM magazines are about to transcend to the great paper bank in the sky, joining such long-defunct publications as NGamer, The Official Nintendo Magazine, PSM2, and Xbox World. The next issues – due 1st November – will be the last, with reason cited that neither no longer generates a profit. “Despite …
Following one hefty delay, Dark Souls Remastered finally reaches the Switch, taking pride of place in the system’s winter line-up. Worth the wait? Nintendo Life’s 9/10 would suggest so. “While it’s no less forgiving – and its menus are a little fiddly – this slick Nintendo Switch iteration offers the only way to experience Lordran’s …
