Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition - 8/10

Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition is a great enhancement to an already solid entry in the series. Adding in Vergil, Lady, and Trish as playable characters provides a ton of fun, and the new Legendary Dark Knight Mode is an engaging new challenge for veterans of the series. Demon hunting newcomers will likely enjoy everything on offer, while more experienced action connoisseurs will find more than enough reason to return to the franchise. However, this is still Devil May Cry 4 at its core, so the same questionable design decisions that were in effect back in 2008 still remain. That being said, the remaster's still a great buy for its budget price tag, and a must-own for any hack and slash fanatic.

J-Stars Victory VS+ - 7/10

An accessible and ultimately enjoyable brawler, J-Stars Victory VS+ may not hold the attention of dedicated fighting fans for long, but it's sure to provide plenty of entertainment for those that are interested in the included manga and anime franchises. A solid character roster coupled with some eye-catching combat is what this beat-'em-up is all about – even if it could afford to take some more risks, given the wealth of source material on offer.

Poll: Which Batman: Arkham Game Is the Best?

That's right, we're going to ask that question - a question that has divided the gaming community ever since Batman: Arkham City launched all the way back in 2011. Which Batman: Arkham game is the best? It's safe to say that Batman: Arkham Asylum exceeded all expectations when it released in 2009, and the aforementioned sequel received equally impressive praise. Many enjoy the original's more focussed narrative, while others feel that Arkham City hones what is already solid gameplay into something really special.

July's Free PlayStation Plus Games Include Rocket League and Entwined on PS4

Uh oh, we can already hear people grabbing their pitchforks. The PlayStation Plus games selection for July has been revealed, and, well, there's not a Knack to be found.

The PS4 Is Absolutely Destroying the Competition in Europe

Sony's always done incredibly well in Europe with its home consoles - that much we know - but we didn't realise just how well its latest system, the PlayStation 4, is doing over here in the Old World. "Well, we have market leadership in every country in Europe, and have very significant market leadership in continental Europe. Extremely significant. I don't think market share's any less than 70%, and frequently greater than 90% in continental Europe," Sony's Jim Ryan told VG247.

Oh Look, It's a Nintendo PlayStation Console

Fridays are usually pretty quiet when it comes to games journalism, probably because everyone just wants to start the weekend early and, actually, you know, play some video games for once.
