Forever striving for comprehensiveness, our hallowed new release round-up evolves once again. Hopefully, it’s a step in the right direction – last week’s cut ‘n paste effort left us feeling unclean. Only the laziest of journos resort to re-posting press releases, after all. This week sees a trio of new beat’em ups battle it out, …
Destiny 2 managed to fend off all newcomers, holding the UK chart’s top spot for a second week running. No surprise there, really – Bungie’s sci-fi opus is still the talk of the town. The fact that NBA 2K18 outperformed PES 2018 does come as a surprise, however. Take 2’s sports sim had the biggest …
How’s about that Nintendo Direct, eh? We had a feeling a new mature title was on the agenda given the 11pm show-time and the conference’s 18+ age rating, but we never expected a double-whammy of DOOM and Wolfenstein II. Minecraft for New 3DS was a nice surprise, too. As for games you can play right …
With a site revamp on the agenda, this week’s new release round-up features a new format. It’ll no doubt evolve slightly over the next few weeks, but hopefully, it’ll prove to be easier to read as well as being more informative. Best of all, this new format gives every new release an airing; no game …
Those who frequent Twitter may have come across @SEGACDGames, a rapidly growing account featuring spoof box art for SEGA’s ill-fated add-on. The choice of format is a stroke of genius – the SEGA CD (aka the Mega CD) had a rather eccentric library, comprising of low-budget FMV games, platformers starring quintessentially ’90s heroes, terrible movie …
Coming as a surprise to absolutely nobody, Destiny 2 is the UK’s new no.1. It had the biggest launch of 2017 so far, beating previous record holders Horizon Zero Dawn and Ghost Recon Wildlands. There’s a slight sting in this tale, however. Physical sales were down an estimated 58% over the original Destiny, which launched …
Nine new Switch games make their merry way to the UK eShop this week – an unprecedented amount, trouncing even the console’s launch line-up. LEGO Worlds (£24.99) and The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ (£35.99) are both tardy conversions. We weren’t entirely smitten with LEGO Worlds on PS4/Xbox One – the toolset gives plenty of potential …
Plenty of jokes have already been made about Sony’s decision to launch Knack 2 on the same day as Destiny 2, one of the most anticipated games of the year. While Sony’s timing is open to scrutiny – few new releases are out this week, seemingly because of Destiny 2 – it’s unlikely to harm …
Last month Retro Gamer magazine teased the return of a classic ‘90s gaming mag. Making good on their word, the latest issue – #172 – comes packaged with a 52-page Super Play tribute magazine. Super Play is regarded as one of the finest Nintendo magazines of its era, mostly due to its focus on import …
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is the UK’s number one for the second week running. With the almighty Destiny 2 launching on Wednesday, it’s unlikely to make it for a third consecutive week. The Ubisoft-published Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle barges in at #2. Chart-Track reports the difference in sales between Kingdom Battle and The Lost …
If animals could talk, would we still eat them? It’s an age-old question that’s often discussed. The common response is that if an animal could talk, it would possess a similar level of intelligence to that of a human. It wouldn’t be merely content to graze in a field; it would have questions about its …
While the assortment of new eShop releases is smaller than usual this week, the fact that a new Mario game is amongst them means it’s still a more exciting week than most. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle (£49.99) has surprised many – it’s smart, unique, delightfully silly, and very pleasing to the eye. The current …
Last week was just the tip of the new release iceberg – there’s wealth of new games out this week too, including several big hitters. Thirty new releases in total, which is quite possibly a record breaking amount for a week in August. On Tuesday, a triple-whammy of zombie shooters arrived both at retail and …
Initial word of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle’s greatness came not from critics but from those who pre-ordered this unlikely crossover. Being a bank holiday in the UK, many gamers received the Switch’s latest big hit a few days early, leading to a waft of positive first impressions on the likes of Twitter. The review …
Crash Bandicoot’s seven week stay at the top of the UK chart has come to end, dethroned by Crash’s original creators – Naughty Dog. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy takes no.1, becoming the 6th PS4 exclusive to take the top spot this year. Gamesindustry.biz reports sales of The Lost Legacy were “slightly less than half†of …
