From first-party exclusives such as Forza Horizon 2 and DriveClub to third-party titles including Alien: Isolation and The Evil Within, Xbox One and PS4 owners have had a lot to get excited about recently. Now it’s time for Wii U owners to rejoice – Bayonetta 2 is finally here. The first review out of the …
Even with a concept that’s quirkier than most, we’d argue that Chariot’s standout feature is that it brings back good old local co-op gaming. With a friend by your side this physics-based platform puzzler evokes memories of when online gaming was a thing of the future; a time when two gamers could bond on a …
There’s no stopping FIFA – EA’s soccer sim has successfully managed to fend off another week’s worth of new releases. Specifically, The Evil Within, F1 2014 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! Last week’s top trio did however all make the top 10. Available on formats new and old, The Evil Within did – rather unsurprisingly – …
This week’s Nintendo eShop line-up is mostly comprised of premium-priced retail downloads. When Bayonetta 2 is amongst them though we aren’t going to complain. Especially when the price is pretty reasonable – £39.99, or £24.99 if you’ve downloaded the original Bayonetta. That’s £24.99, or £9.99 if you’ve downloaded Bayonetta 2. As you’ve no doubt seen …
We’re unsure whether Microsoft releasing Project Spark during gaming’s silly season is a sensible idea or not. With so many big name releases out will many gamers have both the time and patience to sit down and experiment with a game creation tool? On the flipside, the evenings are quickly drawing in – winter is …
Those who have remained loyal to the last generation of consoles are this week rewarded for their loyalty with Borderlands: The Pre-sequel! and F1 2014. Why are there no Xbox One or PS4 version of these two? Codemasters claims that they want their current-gen debut to be something spectacular, and with games for this generation …
As a relatively new publisher on the scene – at least when compared to EA, Activision et al – Warner Bros don’t quite get the credit they deserve. The LEGO games have improved massively while under their watchful eye, Mortal Kombat is the best it has ever been (save perhaps for that one time in …
Update: Activision has dropped us a line informing that Skylanders Trap Team did in fact make #7 in the UK top 40. Chart-Track are aware that their data is currently incorrect and will be issuing a revised UK top 40 tomorrow morning Original story: This week’s UK top 40 holds a mild surprise – Skylanders …
Well, this week’s Nintendo eShop line-up is certainly far more interesting than the last few. There’s Lone Survivor: The Director’s Cut on Wii U, some Hyrule Warriors DLC and another sizeable sale. This week also sees a double dose of Donkey Kong – throughout October Nintendo are releasing all three Donkey Kong Country and DK …
We have in our hands the final issue of Future’s Official Nintendo Magazine. Issue 114 should be reaching subscribers over the next few days, following last Tuesday’s announcement of ONM’s closure. As editor Matthew Castle put it in the magazine’s opening page, this final issue is a celebration of all things Nintendo – the Super …
With three of this winter’s biggest games out this week there’s plenty to tempt hard-earned money out of your wallet. Square-Enix’s Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition is out as well, ready to remind us what games were like back in 2012. As Alien: Isolation launched on Tuesday we’ll start with SEGA’s deep space survival horror first. …
The handful of new games en route to the Nintendo eShop this Thursday are overshadowed somewhat by two unexpected additions to the Virtual Console library. Hot on the heels of last week’s Street Fighter 2010 comes another curio from Capcom – Mighty Final Fight. Released on NES in 1993 – making it a late arrival …
Last week’s trio of big name releases – Shadow of Mordor, Forza Horizon 2 and Super Smash Bros. – haven’t been able to dislodge FIFA 15 from the top of the UK chart. They have however all managed to make the UK top five. Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, to use its full name, arrives at …
On the account of some extremely mixed scores, reviews of SEGA’s Alien: Isolation make for interesting reading. General consensus has it that at around 12 hours long it would have benefited from having a few scenes cut to improve pacing. Whereas UK critics were able to look past this though, resulting it some surprisingly lofty …
NinjaBee’s Nutjitsu takes the honour of becoming the Xbox One’s first ever ‘snappable’ game. For those of us who aren’t part of Microsoft’s marketing team, this means that it’s a small enough application to run in the background while watching a film or playing another game, allowing you to then flick back and forth. Playing …
