Dark Souls III - Score Pending

Dark Souls III is another triumph of the imagination for FromSoftware, a studio which surely now must rank as one of Japan's leading talents. The company's Souls series has a near-flawless track record and after the cult nature of Demon's Souls has thankfully found a large and receptive mainstream audience – not bad for a franchise which delights in being obtuse and hair-pulling tricky in equal measure. Dark Souls III is arguably the most accomplished entry yet, refining the core mechanics and cunningly utilizing next-generation hardware to excellent effect.

Resident Evil 6 - 3/10

You can't polish a turd, and Resident Evil 6 is proof. This remaster may look the part at points, but its limp collection of lacklustre campaigns will leave you feeling dead inside. A low price point means that co-op enthusiasts may get some mileage out of the Mercenaries mode, but make no mistake, this is still a quivering corpse of a game. Avoid like the C-Virus plague.

Opinion: Three Basic Firmware Features That Would Make PS4 Way Better

PlayStation 4 firmware update v3.50 launched this week and it's pretty good. Among the oft-requested features, the all-new system software includes the ability to appear offline and enable online friend notifications – as well use Remote Play on a PC and Mac. It's a decent upgrade with tons of more subtle features like a much needed redesign to the way that messages display – but given how long we've been waiting for the refresh, it's hard not to feel a little disappointed at the lack of real headline additions. Consequently, we've compiled three big features that we reckon would make the PS4 better overnight.
