Unravel is an enticing proposition – a potentially glorious combination of EA’s big-budget production values and Coldwood Interactive’s burning desire to share a heartfelt tale with the rest of the world. EA has definitely fulfilled their role. Unravel is a thing of beauty, with every inch of its Scandinavian countryside as richly detailed as the …
After languishing on release schedules for what seems an eternity, Nintendo has seemingly decided not to release Dr Kawashima’s Devilish Brain Training: Can you stay focused? in the UK. Our pre-order at Tesco Direct (which we’d forgotten all about, somewhat ironically) was cancelled earlier today due to “the supplier no longer publishing the gameâ€. Presumably, …
It’s half-term, and luck would have it that there are a couple of bits and pieces on the Nintendo eShop to keep the kids quiet. A demo of LEGO Marvel’s Avengers on Wii U is due Thursday, which of course is a free download, while Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon heads to the 3DS eShop for …
Call of Duty: Black Ops III enjoys a tenth non-consecutive week at the top of the UK chart. LEGO Marvel’s Avengers remains at #2 for a second week running, followed by FIFA 16, GTA V and Star Wars Battlefront to form the UK’s top five. Positions six through to seven are then filled by Rainbow …
This week sees the release of both Unravel and Firewatch, two very different adventure games that have been eagerly awaited since their E3 reveals. Firewatch has snuck up on us – we thought it was still a few months off – while Unravel has had a hefty amount of promotion, especially on the Xbox One …
A visit to Amazon’s pre-order page reveals that Kickstarter funded RTS Battle Worlds: Kronos is heading to PS4 and Xbox One. A Google search indicates that the console versions are yet to be officially revealed. We imagine the announcement isn’t far off, considering Amazon already has it available to pre-order. Battle Worlds: Kronos launched on …
The Wii U release of Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath was put on ice several months ago, but that doesn’t mean Oddworld Inc. has lost all interest in the Wii U – Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty! launches on the UK eShop this Thursday with a temporary discount to boot – it’ll only set you back £11.99 until …
Despite arriving to decent reviews in 2012, Gravity Rush on PS Vita didn’t perform too well in the UK chart. To wit: it entered at #11 at launch and then swiftly left the top 40 the following week. Four years later, PS4 revamp Gravity Rush Remastered has struggled to even break the top 20 – …
We went into This War of Mine knowing only that it’s a survival game putting children at its forefront. This ignorance was partly our own doing, as we didn’t pay a great deal of attention to it prior to release. We aren’t entirely to blame though, as publisher Deep Silver hasn’t exactly been shouting about …
There were three of us to begin with – Pavle, Marko and myself (Bruno). Caught inside a war zone, we decided the only way to survive was to stick together. Fleeing with next to nothing, we came across a large house mostly untouched from the bombings. Although most of the furniture had been destroyed, the …
February is hardly crammed with big name releases – Far Cry Primal and PvZ: Garden Warfare 2 are about as ‘big’ as this month gets. Thankfully there’s a sizeable assortment of smaller low-budget titles, indie releases and obscure Japanese games to keep us going. Next week in particular looks set to be a gem of …
This Thursday sees the final dose of Super Smash Bros. add-on content arrive on the UK eShop, including Fire Emblem‘s Corrin and Bayonetta herself. Also: Tails and Knuckles attire. The final assortment before being bundled together to form a Nintendo NX launch title? Perhaps, if last week’s rumours are true. Like many others, we don’t …
LEGO Marvel’s Avengers has become the UK’s first new no. 1 of 2016, dislodging Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 from the top spot in the process. In doing so, it becomes the 8th LEGO game to shoot straight to the top. The individual format chart reveals that the PS4 version was the biggest selling, …
Single format magazines were rife in the ‘80s and ‘90s, even if the format in question didn’t have the largest of user bases or the busiest of release schedules. If there was a gap in the market, it was soon filled. SEGA Master Force magazine is a good example, arriving in the Master System’s twilight …
Reviews of LEGO Marvel’s Avengers went live on Tuesday, coinciding with its US release date. We did consider compiling a review round-up, but all reviews currently available are around the 8/10 mark – it wouldn’t be a particularly exciting, or surprising, round-up to read. Although it’s easy to get the impression that this is just …
