Game changer
Christopher Judge is the man who took over from Terrence C. Carson as Kratos for the latest God of War, but when he received the script for the first time, he thought it was for a blockbuster movie. Speaking with BBC Newsbeat, the actor, also famous for his role in Stargate SG-1, had "no clue" the script was for a game when it was first...
Review Home Run Derby VR (PS4)
Out of the park
Home Run Derby, the MLB’s annual slugging contest, is such a good fit for PlayStation VR that we’re surprised this game took 18 months to materialise. It’s been developed by the same group responsible for R.B.I. Baseball 18, but unlike that title, its arcade-esque simplicity works in its favour. In essence, you’ve got 90...

Soapbox PS Plus Freebie Beyond: Two Souls Is One of Sony's Stranger Games
Go Holmes
I can’t stop thinking about Beyond: Two Souls. It’s just so weird. Ever since the title was announced as part of May 2018’s free PlayStation Plus lineup, I’ve been recalling my two playthroughs of Quantic Dream’s ghost-themed sci-fi story. I was originally rather enamoured with it on the PlayStation 3; I thought the handful of...

Detroit: Become Human’s box art, a close-up of android rebellion leader Marcus’s right eye, is probably one of the worst covers of the PlayStation 4 era. But box art is always better in Japan, right? Right? Wrong. Look at this atrocity: It looks like a straight-to-VHS 90s sci-fi thriller shot entirely on a Sony Handycam in...

I’m rarely ready for a sequel immediately after finishing a game, but if Sony said God of War 2 was out next week I’d be right at the front of the queue.

God of War enjoyed a semi-decent opening in Japan, moving roughly 46,000 copies and landing in second place.

Quick fix?
A new system software update is now available for your PlayStation 4, and it's one with a bit of an odd name -- 5.53-01. The update is just under 70MB, so it's only a small download, and it "improves system performance", as you might expect. What's strange is that, normally, new updates simply increase the version number by .01. Also, we...
Soapbox Why God of War Will Scratch Your Zelda Itch
A link to the past
Of all the games I expected God of War to remind me of, The Legend of Zelda was probably right at the very bottom of my list.

It has a cinematic...

PlayStation UK has been blowing its marketing budget on comedy commercials for a few years now, and it always seems to find a way to turn cringey concepts into laugh out loud clips.

Hands On Strange Brigade Is a Punchy, Pulpy 1930s Shooter
Just the ticket
One of the higher profile games at EGX Rezzed 2018 was Rebellion's thirties-tinged third person shooter, Strange Brigade.

Hands On Windlands 2 Adds Co-Op, Weapons to Virtual Reality Platformer
Second wind
We rather liked the original Windlands on PlayStation VR. The satisfying movement and exhilarating sense of speed and altitude made for one of virtual reality's early successes -- at least, if you had the stomach for it. This holds true for Windlands 2, but the sequel isn't just reuniting you with a pair of grappling hooks and calling it...

Hands On Onrush is an Action Packed, Addictive Arcade Racer
Rushing around
Onrush is a bit of an oddball. An arcade racer with no traditional races, the focus is squarely on contributing towards team-based objectives.

Norse for wear
It’s a quiet week on the European PlayStation Store update, presumably as everything attempts to get out of the way of the only release that matters: God of War. But what’s this?

News Shenmue I & II Will Not Add Time Skip to the First Game
Changed my mind
Back when Shenmue was first announced, SEGA leaned heavily into a buzzword: FREE.

Greek tragedy
The new God of War is an extraordinary game and it represents a seismic shift for one of Sony’s most beloved first-party franchises, but with more than a week to go until the title tosses its axe at retailers around the world, you should fill the time with one of Kratos’ previous adventures. God of War III was quietly remastered...
Poll Will You Be Buying God of War?
The big one
Well, there was really only one big talking point from this week that we could have transformed into a Friday poll: God of War.

Code Vein still doesn't have a confirmed release date, and now that the later months of the year are starting to look pretty darn busy, we're beginning to wonder if the action role-playing title will actually make it out in 2018 to begin with. Speculation aside, at least the game's still looking promising. Bandai Namco's put out a short...

Super Daryl Delax
Comedy games are often risky projects - it’s harder than you’d think to create a game that’s funny all the way through.
