We all knew Star Wars Battlefront would take the UK chart top spot this week. Chart-Track has made this event a tad more exciting with a few choice facts. Not only is it the fastest selling Star Wars game of all-time, beating previous best seller Star Wars: The Force Unleashed by 117%, but it’s also …
A quartet of Virtual Console releases brighten up an otherwise quiet week for the UK Nintendo eShop. It’s looking like a quiet week for Xbox One and PS4 too, due to a lack of big name releases. A quiet gaming week in November. Now there’s a thing. When we say quiet, we mean really quiet. …
Thanks to a sizeable marketing budget – not to mention the runaway, and surprise, success of Fallout Shelter – it’s highly likely that Fallout 4 will attract many franchise newcomers. Fallout greenhorns are arguably going to get the most out of this long awaited adventure as there’s an unshakeable sense of overfamiliarity. That said, Fallout …
How many hours of entertainment do you expect to get from a full-price video game? With many critics claiming that Star Wars Battlefront is light on content, that’s a question you should probably ask yourself before blowing fifty big ones on EA’s latest shooter. It’s a decent game that’s surprisingly accessible, but you may be …
Word has it that Star Wars Battlefront is stunning to look at and provides some brilliant – and incredibly authentic – Star Wars moments but the fun doesn’t last for long, with many critics claiming that after 10 hours or so tedium was starting to settle. A lack of content, then, is its biggest failing. …
Nintendo are gearing up for the festive season with this Friday’s eShop launch of Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash on Wii U. The price of the digital version has been set at £39.99. While there are cheaper ways to get hold of the it, Nintendo are throwing in a download code for N64 Mario Tennis (worth …
Beating Fallout: New Vegas’ week one sales by a resounding 213%, Fallout 4 has shot to the top of the UK chart. In doing so it becomes the UK’s third fastest seller of the year after Black Ops III and FIFA 16. Speaking of which, Black Ops III moves down a position to #2 – …
Turning a kid’s cartoon license – even one as ideally suited as Adventure Time – into a point ‘n’ click adventure strikes us as risky business. From LucasArt’s much loved classics to Telltale’s early efforts, it’s a genre renowned for having a frustrating streak due to the linear nature. Overlook an item of importance or …
Rise of the Tomb Raider and Fallout 4 have more in common than simply being two of this winter’s biggest releases. Reviews went live on Monday and general consensus has it that both are highly similar to their predecessors. While many franchises routinely receive a kicking for being over familiar though, critics are in agreement …
After reading through half-a-dozen Fallout 4 reviews it quickly becomes apparent that critics are pretty much in agreement about Bethesda’s latest RPG epic. To wit: it’s more of the same, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. This does unfortunately mean warts and all. It allegedly has that glitchy, almost unfinished, look to it that …
Microsoft deserves a pat on the back for letting the gaming press voice opinions on Lara’s latest a resounding four full days before release. That’s a sign of confidence, that is. Lo and behold, the majority of reviews have been incredibly positive. Destructoid and Eurogamer stand out as the only two outlets that weren’t fully …
If it wasn’t for Yuji Naka’s Rodea the Sky Soldier this week’s eShop roster would be approaching laughably poor, leaving us with just a bunch of (very) casual 3DS games to talk about. We may as well get them out the way first. Say “hello†to Hello Kitty & Friends: Rockin’ World Tour (£24.99), Horse …
Despite arriving on a Friday – instead of a Tuesday, as per the previous six games in the franchise – Call of Duty: Black Ops III has shot straight to top the UK chart. Quelle surprise. Chart-Track reports that it’s the 7th fastest seller in the series in terms of week one sales. Bear in …
Presumably to avoid an unpleasant backlash, Activision has been pretty vocal about the last-gen versions of Call of Duty: Black Ops III missing the single-player campaign and other features. Understandably, not every gamer out there keeps tabs on the gaming news. To counterbalance this, it’s mentioned on the front of the case that the Xbox …
Skipping to the chase, the majority of Black Ops III reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, including more than a few 9/10s. “There’s something here for everyone†seems to be the general consensus. Critics also agree that the three year development cycle has paid off as it’s leaps and bounds over previous games in terms of …
