Review TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge (PS4)
On the edge of boring
As you can probably tell by its title, TT Isle of Man Racing: Ride on the Edge is a very niche game. Not only is it an entire game dedicated to one sub-genre of motorcycle sport, but it’s actually dedicated to one race; the Isle of Man’s Snaefell Mountain Course is the only official track present, with fictional tracks set...

More Hazard than Eden
VRFC is a strange beast. To get anything from it you need to be able to embrace its lunacy. It might not be a true-to-form example of the beautiful game, but it sure is fun. That is, after you get past the steep learning curve, at least. For the first couple of hours, VRFC is a baffling experience. There's a tutorial...

Guide How to Annihilate Amygdala in Bloodborne on PS4
Cut down Cthulhu
You'll see a fair few Cthulhu-esque monsters similar to Amygdala throughout Yharnam, hanging from buildings and chapels like a Lovecraftian rendition of King Kong, but as you approach the end of the Nightmare Frontier zone, the chance to do battle with one presents itself. The fight looks a lot tougher than it is, with the size of...
Guide How to Kill the Darkbeast Paarl in Bloodborne on PS4
Greased lightning
Bloodborne's Darkbeast Paarl can first be encountered blocking the escape route from the Hypogean Gaol. If you're meeting him during the first half of the game, you've likely just experienced an unfortunate case of body snatching and are confused, disorientated, and definitely out of your depth. If you miss your chance to cut Paarl...
Guide How to Kill Rom, the Vacuous Spider in Bloodborne on PS4
Arachnid alert
You'll encounter Rom, the Vacuous Spider in Bloodborne after a relatively short trek through Byrgenwerth culminating in a jarring leap of faith.

Guide How to Kill the One Reborn in Bloodborne on PS4
Reborn, redead
A slab of rotten flesh? Brilliant. The One Reborn is seemingly Bloodborne's equivalent of the Gaping Dragon fight from Dark Souls, with casters raining spells from above and a foe that has a penchant for vomiting death around the entire arena. This'll be fun, huh? Luckily, One Reborn can be easy if played correctly. You'll encounter...
Guide How to Beat the Shadow of Yharnam in Bloodborne on PS4
Kill all three shadows
Shadow of Yharnam is the trifecta of pain and suffering wrapped in black cloaks that you'll encounter at the end of the Forbidden Woods zone.

Guide How to Kill the Celestial Emissary in Bloodborne on PS4
Take me to your leader
The Celestial Emissary in Bloodborne is found at the top of The Choir, deep in the Orphanage. It's somewhat of a gimmick fight, with the additional enemies posing as much threat as the boss and none of them having any real power. Much like the Witches of Hemwick earlier in the game, hide and seek is the name of the game for...

Soapbox Don't Dismiss Bloodborne Because of Its Difficulty
Just give it a try
I used to be like you. I dallied with Demon’s Souls when it finally hit European shores, but life got in the way and I dropped it faster than a New Year’s resolution.

Guide How to Kill Father Gascoigne in Bloodborne on PS4
Hunt him down
Good ol' Gazza. No, we're not referring to alcoholic ex-England soccer star Paul Gascoigne, but hunter Father Gascoigne instead. This is the second boss fight that you'll encounter in Bloodborne, and while it's less of a spectacle than the Cleric Beast, it is a bit tougher. There's a Trophy up for grabs if you can beat your rival, so...
Guide How to Kill the Cleric Beast in Bloodborne on PS4
Central Yharnam's biggest pain in the ass
And so it begins: the Cleric Beast is the first major boss that you'll encounter in Bloodborne, and also the protector of a nice Bronze Trophy and the Sword Hunter Badge.

Guide How to Kill Vicar Amelia in Bloodborne on PS4
Biblical beat down
More tea, Vicar Amelia? Bloodborne's long haired she-devil requires a similar strategy to the Cleric Beast to defeat, and is perhaps one of the easier enemies in the game thus far.

Guide How to Kill the Blood-Starved Beast in Bloodborne on PS4
You can kill it if it bleeds
Nothing says 'nice and approachable' quite like the name Blood-Starved Beast – but that's because this third Bloodborne boss isn't exactly BFF material.

Director debunks
Earlier today, rumours suggesting that God of War may have microtransactions started to spread.

Review Fear Effect Sedna (PS4)
Real-time tragedy
It’s been 17 years since the last Fear Effect game came out, and thinking back, the one thing that always tends to come to mind about the series is the questionable marketing that surrounded the second game.
