News PS4 Firmware Update 4.50 Massively Improves PlayStation Move
Shake it off
Perhaps the biggest criticism that's been levelled at PlayStation VR since launch is that the PlayStation Move controllers just aren't up to snuff. While they're fine for general play, pretty much anyone that's messed around in virtual reality will have noticed some wobble from time to time. This occurs when the PlayStation Camera is...
Review Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - A Criminal Past (PS4)
Playboy
The entirety of A Criminal Past is set in the Penthouse, a sophisticated, maximum security prison for augmented ne'er-do-wells. It's a perfect location for a Deus Ex playground: there are tons of restricted areas, guards, security cameras, and turrets all begging to be sneaked past, exploited, and eliminated. The DLC is set between Human...

News Look at The Last of Us' Off-Camera Secrets
Breaking boundaries
The Last of Us is one of the most pristinely polished games in PlayStation history – but like any piece of visual entertainment, it's mostly an optical illusion.

Are you glad-io?
Out later this month, Episode Gladiolus will be Final Fantasy XV's first real slice of downloadable content.

Talking Point Could 2017 Be Gaming's Greatest Ever Year?
GoaT mad
So here's the thing: we've never known a start to the year quite as strong as what 2017 is turning out to be. Last year was a fine year for games, but it was by-the-numbers – few games exceeded expectations and even fewer will live long in the memory. The past two and a bit months have been the opposite, though: exciting, fresh, and so...

Soapbox The Worst Thing About PS4 Firmware Update 4.50
Sammy reckons the new Notifications Menu sucks
We can all probably agree that PlayStation 4 firmware update v4.50 is a good update: the external hard drive support is welcome, the custom wallpapers feature is nice to have, and the addition of Boost Mode is great if you're a PS4 Pro owner. But there's one thing about the update that I can't wrap my...
Hands On Persona 5 Has Absolutely Stolen Our Hearts on PS4
Let us start the game
There's no point in beating around the bush: from what we've played so far, Persona 5 is utterly brilliant.

Even as we're sitting here right now, writing this...
News Farpoint's Full Experience Will Cost You a Pretty Penny
Start saving
From what we've played, PlayStation VR FPS Farpoint is pretty awesome – but we always felt that Sony needed to find a way to bundle the title with the PlayStation VR Aim Controller for the price of a standard retail game. Unfortunately, it's failed. While the game will cost £49.99/$49.99 without the peripheral, you'll need to pay...
News Steep Will Slope onto the PlayStation Store for Free This Weekend
Snow joke
Someone more cynical than this author may try to insinuate that Steep's impending free weekend on the PlayStation Store is a sign of slow sales… Wait a minute.
