Nobody wants to see a system fail – competition is healthy, after all. But the death or failure of a system can also benefit former rival platforms. It took the fall of the Dreamcast for SEGA to go multi-format, resulting in Sonic gracing a Nintendo platform – something ‘90s gamers never thought they’d see. The …
There’s no stopping Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Link’s latest remains no.1 for another week in the UK retail chart, although it should be noted that last week was incredibly quiet for new releases. There was one new arrival, however – NiS America’s well-received RPG The Legend of Heroes: Trails Into Reverie debuted at #22 …
Zombies! Dinosaurs! Knights! Martial artists! Drug traffickers! And…squatters? This week’s rogue’s gallery is as varied as they come, giving the chance to live some farfetched dreams.

In these times of colossal updates and install sizes, it’s likely most gamers have a quick blast ‘go-to’ game to play while installing their latest purchase.

Zooming out even further, there are the likes of Nike Fitness on Netflix, YouTube fitness channels, and things like Peloton and Apple Fitness. Fitness Circuit certainly has its work …
The concept of a top-down RTS set in the Aliens universe doesn’t leave all that much to the imagination. It’s easy to envision grey industrial facilities with strip lighting and low-lying fog, inside of which a squad of cautious Colonial Marines slowly step forward. “We’ve got movement!” one yells, prompting a drop-down menu of available …
A handful of last week’s new releases managed to penetrate the UK retail charts, with two making top ten debuts. Those two were THQ Nordic’s AEW: Fight Forever at #3 – which currently has a 65% Metacritic score on PS5 and a disappointing 47% on Switch – and the well-received Story of Seasons: A Wonderful …
Finally, a respite. After several weeks of big-name releases, the schedule has quietened with only around ten new releases due across both PSN and the Xbox Store.

You only need to glance at Slipstream’s screenshots to see that it was inspired by SEGA’s seminal racer Outrun. Play it for just a few minutes, and you’ll see that the admiration for SEGA runs even deeper, with the presentation paying homage to Sonic the Hedgehog 2. A handful of racetracks, ergo their trackside detailing, …
