Maximum Games’ Troll & I is one of the worst games of this generation, but don’t take my word for it. Around 90% of those who’ve also made the mistake of buying this Iron Giant-esque adventure are also seemingly in agreement. After making it through a labyrinth-like cave complex, some two hours in, the achievements …
Despite apparent stock shortages, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is the UK’s number one for the second week running. This is something Activision can be proud of – the only other PS4 exclusive to retain the top spot for two consecutive weeks is Uncharted 4. GTA V moves up one position to claim #2, Overwatch …
You may have noticed that it’s a slow week for new releases on both PS4 and Xbox One. It’s a different story for the Nintendo Switch, however, with six new games now available on the eShop. Flip Wars (£8.99) from Nintendo themselves leads the way. This four player competitive party game involves claiming coloured tiles …
It’s one of the quietest spells in recent times for new releases. As of the time of typing (Wednesday night), not a single new game has graced the Xbox One store all week. We may see something on or before Friday (a NeoGeo re-release perhaps) but Xbox One owners shouldn’t expect much in the way …
The SEGA Forever service launched a fortnight ago, although to be brutally honest it isn’t much of a “service†at present. The concept is sound enough. Play classic SEGA games on your mobile device, either for free with adverts between stages, or with adverts removed for a £1.99 fee. The execution is sloppy however, with …
Never underestimate the power of nostalgia. Last month, WipEout Omega Collection became the first entry in the series to claim the UK chart top spot. One month on, Crash Bandicoot has pulled the same trick – Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy is also the first in the franchise to take no.1. [Update: Eurogamer claims it’s the …
It’s an eventful week for the Nintendo Switch. Not only has the first piece of Zelda: Breath of the Wild DLC landed – with a second add-on pack due this winter – but the eShop also sees the first Switch discounts, with Snake Pass and Bomberman R down to £9.59 and £29.99 respectively. The Master …
We’re being treated to a couple of blasts from the past this week, with both Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Micro Machines World Series due out Friday. We could also throw Diablo III into the mix here – the 2012 classic has received new DLC, in the form of Rise of the Necromancer. It’s …
Because the natural passage of time has occurred, we’re taking another look at Xbox One game trials with achievements. Gamerscore for gratis – who could possibly resist? Most of the trials detailed below offer an hour of play before prompting you to head to the Xbox One store to purchase the full game. With this …
Nintendo has ended months of speculation by officially announcing the Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Due out across Europe on 29th September, it includes a heady mixture of 21 Nintendo classics and third-party hits, including the never-before-released Star Fox 2. Curiously, Eurogamer notes that the once scrubbed sequel won’t be playable out of …
In what was an allegedly quiet week for game sales, GTA V managed to retake the UK chart top spot. This is its thirteenth week in total, putting it on par with Zumba Fitness. The two titles now share the third longest time span spent at no.1. Codemasters’ DiRT 4 rises to #2, giving it …
Nintendo picked the perfect week to release Ever Oasis – it’s absolutely scorching outside. The review embargo lifted today, and we’re pleased to report this RPG shouldn’t be left in the shade. The Metacritic currently stands at 81%, comprising of a few 7s, a wealth of 8s and a couple of 9s. “Ever Oasis is …
While this week’s line-up of new titles is lacking a standout big hitter, plenty of new games are vying for your cash. Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood, in particular, stands a very good chance of breaking the UK top ten next week, and that’s despite a lack of reviews – being online focused, critics are taking …
Role-playing games usually don’t hit their stride until around the 8-hour mark, with most starting with a slow-burning introduction sequence that sets up the stage for what’s to come. THQ Nordic’s The Dwarves – a tactical RPG released right at the end of 2016 – breaks this tradition, being an incredibly fast-paced and condensed experience …
After a small resurgence last week, Horizon Zero Dawn has gone the whole hog and re-claimed the UK chart top spot, dislodging Sony’s own Wipeout: Omega Collection in the process. This can be attributed to a price drop – the open-world opus is currently available for around £25 online. Nintendo’s ARMS had to settle for …
