The top four positions in the UK chart remain unchanged, making it four weeks in a row for FIFA 16. Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, Destiny: The Taken King and LEGO Dimensions follow behind with GTA V moving up one position to fill #5. Elsewhere in the top 40 a remarkable five new entries have …
When playing a game you usually feel something. With intention of penning a review I’ve been slogging away at the free-to-play Battle Islands since it stealth launched on Xbox One last Friday, and so far I’ve felt this: nothing. Well, a little more than nothing – emptiness and dismay. The last time I played something …
Two new Telltale games in one week? What madness is this? No madness here, squire – just Telltale exercising the right to exploit their back catalogue. There are two Just Dance games out next week though. Now that is madness. Telltale’s Minecraft: Story Mode and Back to the Future: The Game both launched on Wednesday. …
Ignoring the fact that Platinum Games’ staff probably resorted to sleeping in the office and putting in some serious overtime, Transformers: Devastation is proof of what a studio can achieve while on a tight schedule and what was likely to be a small budget too. We’d hazard a guess that it was more than the …
Here’s something we didn’t expect. The new Nintendo Selects 3DS range – consisting of classic (Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Star Fox 64 3D, Mario Tennis Open) and not so classic (Nintendogs + Cats, Yoshi’s New Island, Mario Party: Island Tour) budget price re-releases are arriving in both physical and digital form this Friday. The …
I’ve become infatuated with LCD handhelds over the past couple of weeks. Not buying or playing, but simply looking through eBay listings and browsing the few sites dedicated to handheld collecting. The prices sellers set for even non-Nintendo LCD games is off-putting to say the least, with various rare units priced at over £100 on …
FIFA 16 is the UK’s number one for a third week running, putting it halfway to matching FIFA 15’s consecutive six week run. Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection has to make do with #2, which is of course nothing to be ashamed off. Chart-Track reports that it’s the eighth fastest selling PS4 title of the …
There’s more than meets the eye to Activision’s latest Transformers game. What could have easily been a quick and cheap cash-in has turned out to be a recommended purchase for fans of Transformers and Platinum Games’ previous efforts alike. Transformers Devastation borrow a lot from Bayonetta and that’s not the only reason why it has …
Every Xbox 360 owner and their dog knows that if you want to give your Gamerscore a boost you have to force yourself to play terrible movie tie-ins, half-baked kid’s games and decade old sports sims. It would appear that easiest Xbox One games to rinse for achievements aren’t commonly known. As luck would have …
We haven’t seen a great amount of new Virtual Console releases lately. If this week’s UK eShop schedule is to go by, Nintendo has been busy stashing them away for a quiet spell. A quiet spell such as this week. This Thursday sees the release of two Wii U indie titles and six new arrivals …
There’s no doubting that the recession is over – an £89.99 videogame has managed to enter at #2 in the UK chart. That game, of course, is LEGO Dimensions. Chart-Track reports that it managed to beat week one sales of both Disney Infinity 3.0 and Skylanders SuperChargers. The individual format chart reveals that the Xbox …
Last Monday’s UK chart revealed that Skylanders SuperChargers on Wii U was the second best-selling version at launch. It’s highly likely that Activision’s partnership with Nintendo – allowing Donkey and Bowser to feature in the Wii U, Wii and 3DS versions – played a crucial role in this success. Skylanders SuperChargers isn’t the first instance …
Two days have passed since its US release and we’re still yet to hear a single positive thing about Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5. Crash bugs, glitches, non-existent physics and dated visuals appear to be the least of its woes, worringly – a Polygon journalist claims they had to create a new Xbox account just …
While LEGO Dimensions’ £80 price tag may be off-putting, the review scores certainly aren’t – its current 81% Metacritic puts it in-line with series highlights LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, The LEGO Movie Videogame, LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga and the often forgotten Wii U-exclusive LEGO City Undercover. Other than the steep outlay, the fact …
For a second week running it’s a busy one for the UK Nintendo eShop. The Wii U sees another wave of indie releases, while the 3DS gets not one but two retail downloads – Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer and Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden. As we always seem to find ourselves saying, you’d be …
