  News Dystopian Survival Game We Happy Few Swallows a PS4 Pill in 2018

  Swingin' sixties

  We Happy Few is coming to the PlayStation 4 on 13th April, 2018. You read that sentence correctly: 13th April, 2018. We guess developer Compulsion Games and publisher Gearbox just wanted to ensure that it claimed Friday the 13th before anyone else came along and stole it from them, which is fair enough. Anyway, you may remember...

  News Street Fighter V Celebrates Series Anniversary with, Er, Costumes

  No mention of modes or features

  We’re fools. We thought Capcom may celebrate Street Fighter’s big 30th anniversary with a milestone Street Fighter V update, adding in new content, modes, and features. In fact, there had been rumours along those lines. But nah, we should have known – the publisher’s got a br

  News Alternate Timeline Strategy Title Iron Harvest Will Wage War on PS4

  The 1920s meet mechs

  Iron Harvest sounds like a project that could end up being pretty cool. To start with, the concept is an intriguing one: the first World War is over, and in the game's alternate reality, mechanised warfare is at the crux of conflict. You can get a feel for the real-time strategy title via the teaser trailer that we've embedded...

  Japanese Sales Charts Dragon Quest XI Keeps Slime Time Alive

  Square Enix RPG sales strong

  It’s another week of Dragon Quest XI domination on the Japanese sales charts, as Square Enix’s role-playing game racked up another 200k units across the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation 4 – the kind of numbers most games would dream of at launch, let alone several weeks later. New releases this time on Sony’s system...

  News Papers, Please Finally Gets Clearance for PS Vita Release

  Crossing the border

  Immigration simulation Papers, Please looks to finally be crossing the border to the PlayStation Vita – a whopping three years after it was announced for the device. We’d given up hope on Lucas Pope’s thought-provoking puzzle game ever hitting the portable, but the title has just been rated for release in Australia,...

  News Dragon Quest XI PS4 Sales are 'Stronger' Than 3DS, Says Square Enix

  Home console is where the heart is

  Given the popularity of portable systems in Japan, we fully expected the 3DS version of Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age to top the PlayStation 4 edition by some distance when it launched a few weeks ago, but things didn't really work out like that. The game still performed best on Nintendo's...

  News EVE: Valkyrie's Biggest Update Yet Removes VR Requirement

  HD remakes, remastered collections, and celebratory re-releases are a mainstay of the launch slate these days – love 'em or hate 'em. Usually the retread treatment gets lavished on childhood classics or highlights of the previous hardware generation. It's not entirely clear if anyone predicted that infamous schlock fest Night...

  Review Cities: Skylines - PlayStation 4 Edition

  Skyscraper

  In terms of city-building games, the PlayStation 4 – hell, every console in general – is pretty light. Simulation games as a whole seem to be married to the PC, the complexity of running a metropolis requiring menus, precise clicks, and control systems that simply aren’t compatible with the simplicity of a controller...

  Review Agents of Mayhem

  Player agency

  Watching Saturday morning cartoons as kid, there was always one thing that bothered us about shows focusing on paramilitary groups such as M.A.S.K. and G.I Joe. No, it wasn’t the fact they were designed primarily to sell toys to impressionable young minds, it was the way none of the teams ever showed up en masse to foil the plans of...

  Review Matterfall

  Zero-G Suit Samus

  In a weird kind of way, Matterfall is what Mighty No. 9 was supposed to be. Artistically, the Housemarque developed side-scroller couldn’t be different to Keiji Inafune’s cartoon Kickstarter, but the gameplay – which is designed around a dash mechanic, just like Mega Man’s ill-fated spiritual successor – has many...

  Platinum Games is no stranger to bombas, with practically every title that it’s developed flopping at some point or other.

The game already features a healthy suite of multiplayer modes, including an objective-based co-op mode, but Survival Arena looks to be the classic wave-based horde mode that some fans have been begging for.

  News PlayStation VR Gun-'Em-Up StarBlood Arena Scores PS4 Demo

And developer White Moon Dreams will be hoping to add to that this week with the release of a demo for the title...

  Review Sonic Mania

  It still amazes us that SEGA would entrust its most famous creation to a group of fans. Should a team of enthusiasts really meddle with one of gaming’s greatest icons? It seems preposterous that anybody but the publisher itself should be allowed to develop the next Sonic the Hedgehog title. However, in this case, it...

Said trailer also reminds us that this "isn't Saints Row", which is something that still has us scratching our heads. Anyway, it's easy to take...
