Whereas many games will be nearing their conclusion once they hit the ten hour mark, Neverwinter sees only the surfaced scratched. As a fully comprehensive MMORPG – the kind consoles have only received in a butchered state in the past (Defiance and Ascend: Hand of Kul spring to mind) – it was always a given …
After what seems like several quiet weeks, this Thursday sees the Nintendo eShop erupted with content – new games, new DLC, demos and a bunch of other stuff. Discounts too, but they’re yet another dreary assortment. We’re pretty sure Castle Conqueror EX goes on sale at least once a month. Anyway, if you stayed up …
Battlefield: Hardline has snagged a fourth consecutive number one, albeit it by the skin of its teeth – Chart-Track reports just 100 copies were between Hardline and FIFA 15, which moves up to #2 this week. Sales were down throughout the entire UK top ten with the biggest faller being Bloodborne. The PS4-exclusive goes from …
A retail release of Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams Directors Cut on PS4 and a match-three puzzler collection of some description on 3DS are the only titles heading to store shelves this week. The rest of April is far from being jam packed with new releases – Mortal Kombat X and GTA V (PC) arrive next …
With a £16.99 price tag, Affordable Space Adventures certainly doesn’t live up to its name. We actually to fail to think of a single eShop release that’s arrived at a higher price, downloads of retail releases notwithstanding. That name wasn’t picked simply because it sounds delightfully quirky though – it’s all about exploring space while …
When perusing Chart-Track’s new UK top 40 this morning we instantly noticed that Xenoblade Chronicles 3D hadn’t made a top ten appearance. Our eyes began to scroll down the chart, lower and lower still until we finally we found it sitting at #27. Oh. We can think of two possible theories for the less than …
This single-screen platformer takes us back to the days when games required not only lightening quick reflexes but also a vivid imagination. We’re talking beyond the 8-bit era here and into Atari 2600 territory – a time when box-art helped illustrate a developer’s vision, for all you were presented with on screen were super-sized pixels …
With the long Easter weekend upon us you’d think this week would be rife with new releases, but oddly this isn’t the case – just two titles are heading to store shelves. Those two are Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin and Xenoblade Chronicles 3D. Scholar of the First Sin offers more than …
Having played most – if not all – of the promotional freebies that have appeared on Xbox Live over the years, we feared the worst when taking this cunningly disguised movie tie-in for a spin. It was the achievement list that set these fears into motion – it has clearly been designed so that every …
EA’s latest shooter shuns soldiers and all things military in favour of cops, car chases and organised crime. Set amidst Miami’s seedy underbelly, the single-player campaign sees police detective Nick Mendoza being paired up with the headstrong Khai Minh Dao to find those responsible for the influx of a new drug known as Hot Shot. …
Just two new arrivals head to the Nintendo eShop this week, both of which are for 3DS. Wii U owners aren’t even being treated to a wealth of discounts to make up for a lack of activity, with just two titles in line for a temporary price drop. Gravity Badgers (£2.49) and the Earthbound inspired …
Bloodborne, Battlefield: Hardline and Borderlands: The Handsome Collection have been battling it out for the UK chart top spot. Chart-Track reports that Bloodborne “almost†became the fourth new IP to enter at no.1 this year, but fell short of the 22,500 copies required to dislodge Battlefield: Hardline. The PlayStation 4-exclusive settles for #2 while Borderlands: …
The last Friday of the month brings the usual bombardment of new releases. Even those with an empty wallet are well catered for thanks to the arrival of the (temporarily) free standalone Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious. We were under the impression that it was an Xbox One exclusive but it appears to …
The Pinball Arcade creators FarSight Studios have released a handful of movie licensed tables in the past, but to ensure the digital release of 1991’s The Addams Family pinball a Kickstarter campaign had to be launched. The reason for this is that it wasn’t exactly the cheapest or easiest of licenses to acquire – FarSight …
It may have taken far longer than anticipated, but finally the PlayStation 4 has an exclusive to be proud of. Or at least, an exclusive that isn’t a remake – The Last of Us: Remastered was arguably the first PS4 essential. At the time of typing From Software’s Bloodborne stands tall with a Metacritic of …
