This week’s UK top 40 sees Saints Row IV at the top spot for a third week running. It’s available for £24.99 at most places now, suggesting that Deep Silver wants to sell as many copies as they can – even at a lower cost – before GTA V arrives next week. The colourful crime …
We hope that there’s nobody out there shallow enough to judge Payday 2 by its rough appearance alone. Then again, it wouldn’t entirely be a bad thing – the fewer idiots playing this co-op shooter online the better. Those rough looks hark back to its download-only predecessor, but now backed with a slightly bigger budget …
Considering that developers Giant are based in Germany, you’d expect the first review of Farming Simulator – launching on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 tomorrow – to surface on one of the countless European gaming sites. That’s not the case though. And no, the first review wasn’t from an American website either – it was …
With Microsoft’s announcement yesterday, we finally know when and where Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will launch this November. So let’s have a look at the world according to Microsoft and Sony. The easy one first: Microsoft. Xbox One will be available in Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, …
We were under the impression that Activision decided not to give Diablo 3 a great deal of promotion, only to learn that an extensive TV advertising campaign has been under way. Just shows how often we switch on the gogglebox, eh? There has definitely been a curious lack of reviews though, considering the hack ‘n’ …
We’ll probably never know precisely how much money Disney has invested into their assault on Activision’s Skylanders franchise, but rumour has it that the figure is approaching $100m. Even in this day and age of big budget videogames that’s an astonishing amount. With such a colossal outlay we wouldn’t be surprised to learn that a …
It would seem that Deep Silver’s acquisition of Volition is paying off – Saints Row IV has claimed the UK top 40 top spot for a second week running. Last week it was reported that over a million copies have been sold so far, so perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise to learn that it’s …
It was only a couple of months ago that Activision announced that they have another Ninja Turtles game on the way. The major difference between the two – other than this being a download and the second game being destined for retail – is that the retail iteration remains truer to the cartoon series, whereas …
EDGE has reached the ripe old age of 20. If it were an actual videogame it would be contender to appear on the cover of Retro Gamer right about now. Speaking of which, to celebrate the magazine’s birthday the latest issue – which goes on sale today – features twenty different covers inked by various …
You’d think that after last week’s slew of new big name releases that this week would be looking a little bare. Amazingly for a summer month, that’s not the case. We’ve got not one but two games that are finally with us after facing lengthy delays. Whereas the extra development time for Rayman Legends has …
Usually we can live with any technical or graphical shortcomings a budget game may have as long as the fundamentals are present and correct. Even then though we struggle to recommend many on the grounds that there are usually better, albeit older, games available for around the same price. DARK is a fine example of …
After a bumper crop of new releases last week, it’s Saints Row IV that’s come out on top in the UK chart. Deep Silver and Koch Media plucked the publishing rights from THQ’s ashes, and it’s become the company’s third number one of the year; the only other publisher to match that count is EA. …
This might have passed you by – the Internet was pretty restrained over it – but there was a bit of a fuss around the initial Xbox One reveal, and how Microsoft gave an awful lot of attention to non-games stuff. That wasn’t always the way though. Until recent generations, multimedia was little more than …
There’s an unprecedented amount of big-name new releases out this week. If this little lot doesn’t give the retail sector a much needed (re)boot we’d be very surprised. We’ll start with The Wonderful 101 first – another game Nintendo hopes will help to shift a few more Wii Us. Similarities can be made with Pikmin …
It’s About Time… that a developer put some thought into their game’s subtitle, rather than randomly picking a word like ‘Revelations’ or ‘Requiem’ from a dictionary. What pleases us so much about Plants vs Zombies 2’s subheading is that it works on three different levels. The curiously likeable zombies first shuffled onto the App Store …
