Even though it’s hardly the freshest game around (six weeks old to this day, no less), I was still considering giving Homefront: The Revolution the review treatment. It had something of a muted launch, and once the reviews arrived – resulting in a 49% Metacritic on both Xbox One and PS4 – it swiftly vanished …
We’ll start this round-up with The Technomancer, as it seems that the post-apocalyptic RPG has flown under the radar. Not that it sounds like you’ll be missing much – like Spider’s Bound by Flame before it, reviews suggest that it’s a barely above average affair. “Somewhere below The Technomancer’s drab grey and brown sand is …
Hot on the heels of last week’s double whammy of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE and Mario & Sonic: Rio 2016 comes another Wii U big hitter – LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens. According to both Amazon and GAME, the physical release of TT Games’ latest blockbuster isn’t due out until 5th July, so those …
Considering the usually quiet season of summer is upon us, it’s somewhat surprising to find that five new releases have made the UK top 40 this week. Before we rattle them off, let’s cover the top five. For a second week running DOOM takes the top spot, followed by the recently discounted FIFA 16 at …
In the words of Bruce Forsyth (and later Joe Pasquale), the price is right. You certainly wouldn’t want to pay more than £3.99 for this mobile conversion – it’s a no-thrills package, that hasn’t seen any major enhancements other than a new four-player mode. Well, that and the removal of in-app purchases. Thank Pac for …
With over 20 new games either out now or imminently, it’s a very busy week for new releases. In the words of just about every YouTuber ever, let’s get straight into it. We’ll start with the Wii U first, as the system sees four new retail releases – an unprecedented amount, considering we usually see …
Here’s something we didn’t expect, especially with summer now upon us: it’s a ridiculously busy week for Wii U and 3DS releases, both on the eShop and at bricks and mortar. How busy, you ask? The Wii U alone has four retail releases lined-up – roughly the same amount due between July and the end …
Reviews of Mighty No. 9 went live earlier, a whole four days ahead of Friday’s UK multi-format launch. Usually a review embargo lifting this early is a good sign, but this is the exception – review scores are mostly mediocre, resulting in a current 58% Metacritic. This spiritual successor to Mega Man has found few …
A price cut to £29.99 has helped DOOM claim the UK chart’s top spot, putting an end to Overwatch’s three week run in the process. The recently released DOOM demo likely played a part in this, too. DOOM entered at #2 during launch week, so this is in fact the first time the grizzly shooter …
Bikes, bikes and more bikes. This week sees the release of MotoGP16: Valentino Rossi and Tour De France 2016, both at retail and on the download services, while Ubisoft’s E3 surprise Trials of the Blood Dragon is available now on PSN and on the Xbox Store. MotoGP16: Valentino Rossi is in fact the second motorbike …
We were holding off writing this week’s UK eShop line-up, thinking that Nintendo may have an E3 surprise or two in store. With their Nintendo Treehouse event now over, the only eShop surprise they had lined-up for us was a 35% discount on Super Smash Bros, making it £25.99 on 3DS and £32.49 on Wii …
During the hustle and bustle of E3 you may have overlooked the surprise arrivals and current freebies on the digital services. There’s some good stuff to be had, and all in the name of shameless promotion. Limbo – Xbox One In order to promote the upcoming release of Playdead’s Inside – due 29th June, and …
Here’s something you may have overlooked during EA’s glitzy E3 conference – Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1 launch within a week of one another. Battlefield 1 is due 21st October while Titanfall 2 drops 28th October. Although dozens upon dozens of games launch in October – it’s the busiest month of the year for gaming, …
With ReCore’s release just three months away, solid details are finally surfacing for Armature’s robotic rampage. The new trailer gives us a glimpse of gameplay footage (last year’s E3 trailer was CGI only) re-confirming what we already knew: it’s a third person sci-fi shooter\adventure hybrid with robots of various shapes, sizes and uses. They’re lead …
Microsoft has announced a new slimmer Xbox One at E3, imaginatively titled the Xbox One S. Available in “robot whiteâ€, the new console is 40% smaller, has a built-in power supply and can be stood horizontally or vertically with an optional stand (set to retail for $19.99). 4K output is another feature (including 4K Netflix …
