News FIFA 18's Overhauled Career Mode Has Cutscenes and Dialogue Options
Putting the man in manager
We've always been fans of FIFA's career mode -- taking Liverpool to the top of the league and keeping them there because they can't bloody do it in real life -- so we're happy to hear that the simulation's getting some significant overhauls in this year's edition.

Grin and bear it
Sony’s VR headset has had a reasonably consistent release schedule when it comes to new software. Some of these titles have been rather good, while some have been less than stellar. The Lost Bear is a new side-scrolling platformer by indie team The Odd Bug Studio, and it’s another of the smaller VR titles worth putting your...
The discus’ whiskers
The real classics never die, and Windjammers’ peak popularity is proof of that. Despite being a relatively obscure Neo Geo release in the mid-90s, this game of futuristic Frisbee has endured the test of time – becoming a popular streaming attraction in recent years due to its balletic competitive play. And now, courtesy of...
Push Rewind Did Destiny Deliver in the End?
A sense of meaning
Destiny means so many different things to different people. For some, it was a complete failure; an experience severely lacking in content, variety, and story were the cries of its dismissers as they joined the growing air of disappointment surrounding Bungie’s Halo successor. They seemingly formed the bulk of online opinion...

Review Life Is Strange: Before the Storm - Episode 1: Awake (PS4)
The Price is right
Despite us never meeting her, Rachel Amber played an enormous role in the inaugural season of DONTNOD’s teen thriller Life Is Strange.

Fore play
Few franchises last as long as Everybody’s Golf, but it’s celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. The arcade sports series has been a staple on every single PlayStation platform to date, and its latest edition is by far its most ambitious yet. But after a protracted production cycle, has veteran developer Clap-Hanz managed to sink...
500 Days of June
Games are often about how many people you can slaughter, and the efficiency with which you can do so. This makes death abstract – a means to an end. The more death you can cause, the more points you’ll get, and the more points you get, the more likely you are to win. Last Day of June isn't about death in the abstract. In...

Push Rewind Was Knack Really That Bad?
The right to exist
The week that was is no more. We're bringing back the Push Rewind name after nearly a year of dormancy, but with a brand new meaning. Instead of a round-up of the previous week's news, we'll be taking a deep dive into games that are about to receive a sequel. This will exclude reboots, spiritual successors, side stories,...
News The Web's in Love with the Way Street Fighter V's New Fighter Walks
Walk this way
We said that Street Fighter V’s latest challenger looked great in her reveal trailer – but we had no idea how great. Available now, Menat is a fortune teller with some pretty unique orb attacks.

Review Guardians of the Galaxy: Episode Three - More Than a Feeling (PS4)
Star Bores
More Than a Feeling is, unfortunately, more of the same for Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy.

We've mentioned the main narrative...

News Orcs Never Forget in New Shadow of War Trailer
The Nemesis System in action
Middle-earth: Shadow of War has a new trailer, this time going over the beloved Nemesis System that the first game introduced.

News Destiny 2 Wheels Out the Live Action Trailer to Drum Up Hype
Guardians assemble
An almost inevitable part of the pre-launch marketing for a big budget release: the live action trailer. It was only a matter of time until Destiny 2 got one, and here it is. You can give it a watch above. As far as live action trailers go, this one's pretty good, and it's got a nice comedic edge to it. That shot where the the...
News The Wacky Wattam Returns Courtesy of Annapurna Interactive
No longer published by Sony
Sony Santa Monica’s indie publishing arm has handed off another title to Annapurna Interactive – this time it’s Funomena’s wacky Wattam.

News How Much Better Does Dragon's Dogma Look on PS4?
Hot stuff?
So, what does the PlayStation 4 remaster of Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen look like? Go back to the PlayStation 3 original these days and honestly, it hasn't held up all that well. It's still got an attractive dark fantasy art style and some neat environmental design, but graphically, it's definitely lost its once decent sheen...

News Destiny 2 Will Have 'Something' for Returning Destiny Players at Launch
But Bungie's keeping quiet
In a rather amusing video from WIRED featuring Destiny 2 design director Luke Smith, it's revealed that the upcoming sequel will have "something" up its sleeve for returning Destiny players. Smith understandably keeps things vague, but he does say that when the game launches on the 6th September, those who have played...
Hands On Does Call of Duty: WWII Bring The European Theatre Back to Life?
V for Victory
Interestingly enough, we had a lot of positive things to say about Call of Duty: Black Ops III's multiplayer when it was going through its beta. We liked how it was a middle ground between the so-called “boots on the ground” playstyle and Advanced Warfare's twitchy, movement-based skill. However, we came to loathe the...

News PS4 Is the Best Place for Sports, Claims New Commercial
It's in the game
Sony’s putting that new FIFA 18 deal to good use, launching a new advertising campaign that claims the PlayStation 4 is the best place for sports.

Review Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition (PS4)
Pillar talk
In traditional role-playing game fashion, you begin Pillars of Eternity by creating a character and assigning them a class, and then seconds later your avatar is caught in some sort of dastardly plot that leaves him or her with a magical new power. In this case, you're a Watcher - somebody able to communicate with souls, both living and...

Review Warriors All-Stars (PS4)
Seeing stars
A crazy crossover title that features characters from a bunch of different Koei Tecmo properties, Warriors All-Stars certainly feels like an attempt at celebrating the publisher's many years of success. Unfortunately, as a traditional hack and slash Warriors title, the game just isn't that great. The PlayStation 4 has been blessed with...

Review Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder (PS4)
Boulder dash
Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder is one of those games that, on paper, sounds like it shouldn’t work. A sequel to 2011’s Rock of Ages on PlayStation 3, this title is a blend of tower defence and physics-based racing/platforming, all under an aesthetic that immediately brings to mind Terry Gilliam’s Monty Python animations. If...

News God of War PS4 Will Be the Most Brutal Entry Yet
Ouch
Sony’s upcoming God of War soft-reboot will be the “most brutal” entry yet, PlayStation marketing bigwig Asad Qizilbash said at the GameStop Expo this weekend. That’d be some feat, seeing as God of War III saw you literally rip Helios’ head off – and also stick your thumbs in Poseidon’s eyes. How do you even top that? In addition...
