The NGC team must have mulled over putting the Nintendo DS on issue 105’s cover as the mag included reviews of every single UK launch game. Primarily being a GameCube magazine, though, it was Namco’s Starfox Assault that took the newsstand limelight. And who was here to welcome us this month? Why, it’s only an …
Depending on how flush you feel, Forza Horizon 3 can be yours this week – the £79.99 ‘Ultimate Edition’ goes live at 1am Friday, ahead of next Tuesday’s official release. Reviews went live earlier this week and were full of praise. The demo appears to be going down a treat, too, so no doubt some …
We were starting to think that Drinkbox Studio’s Severed would never find its way from PS Vita and onto other formats. Pleasingly, this isn’t the case – the RPG-light adventure, starring a one-armed female warrior, graces both Wii U and 3DS this Thursday. As well as crossbuy support, it’s also arriving with a discount in …
Last week’s slew of big name releases has woken the UK chart from its summer slumber, with seven new big hitters in the top 20 alone. Like BioShock, BioShock 2 and BioShock Infinite before it, BioShock: The Collection has topped the UK top 40. It also takes #1 in the Xbox One chart, beating console …
Take three highly acclaimed games and their respective DLC packs, freshen them up with a 1080p makeover, and the end result is one of the highest scoring games of 2017. Right? Well, we’re still waiting on a perfect 10/10 – or a 5/5 for that matter – as while each of the BioShock games still …
We were mildly surprised to see Dead Rising riding high in Amazon’s movers and shakers list, as the physical release is passing Europe by. It’s Canadian store VideoGames Plus who’s selling import copies on Amazon UK, and they’re obviously doing a roaring trade. If anything, this shows that there’s demand for physical releases of Capcom …
Although the Wii U sees six new indie releases this week, the 3DS still manages to steal the limelight in this week’s UK eShop line-up. This is due to the arrival of two significant releases – Square-Enix’s rebuilt role-player Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past (£34.99 with free theme) and the New 3DS’s …
When news of ReCore’s £29.99 price tag broke during E3, we warned that you may want to curb your enthusiasm for Microsoft’s robot rampage. Not wanting to gloat, but all signs point to us being bang on the money – reviews went live today, and aside praise from a couple of outlets (literally a couple …
Blizzard’s Overwatch has definitely caught a second wind – it’s the UK’s number one again, joining Call of Duty: Black Ops III and LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens in having notched up five weeks at no.1. F1 2016 rises to #2, even though sales were down 48% from last week. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided …
2K has thrown a significant amount of cash at their NBA 2K series over the years, and the results are easy to see – the franchise has come leaps and bounds since last-gen, with 2K16 featuring a career mode created by Spike Lee. That alone was enough to make EA sit up and take note. …
It’s often said that the key to excellent character design is to create characters that can be recognised by their silhouettes alone. Indie hit Thomas Was Alone springs to mind when thinking about games that successfully defy this convention, putting a bunch of mere blocks under our control. It even went on to spawn an …
The next fortnight looks exceptionally busy with ReCore and Forza Horizon 3 – the first of MS’s winter big hitters – making an appearance, along with a double whammy of anticipated HD re-releases – Dead Rising Trilogy and Bioshock: The Collection – and a slew of sports games. Until then, we have more than a …
Those who can recall the early days of the PlayStation 2 may remember Silpheed: The Lost Planet, a slow and unoriginal shooter that didn’t have much going for it aside occasionally flashy visuals. Out of all the arcade-style shoot ‘em ups we’ve played over the years, this deep space shooter from Headup Games reminds us …
It’s the Wii U that sees the bulk of new arrivals this week. The 3DS isn’t far behind if we count Virtual Console releases, though – all three SNES Final Fight games hit New 3DS this Thursday at £7.19 apiece, complete with a ‘buy two get the third three’ deal. A little out your price …
Like a child with mere days left before the start of school, this week’s UK chart clearly doesn’t know what to do with itself. Blizzard’s Overwatch has re-claimed the top spot, making it four non-consecutive weeks for the colourful shooter. This is actually a record for a Blizzard release. Chart-Track puts the sales surge down …
