News Spyro Reignited Trilogy Will Eat Up 67.5GB of PS4 Hard Drive Space
Gobbled up
Spyro Reignited Trilogy sees all three of Insomniac Games’ classic platformers scaled up to PlayStation 4 standard, and it turns out that takes up a lot of hard drive space.

News Just Cause 4's Cinematic Trailer Turns Up the Volume
Is this loud enough for you?
Just Cause 4’s cinematic trailer is the equivalent of an email written entirely in capital letters. The clip, which is very nicely edited, shows protagonist Rico riding on top of cars that are floating fifty yards off the ground in insane hurricanes. The hero stops short of upper-cutting a plane, but who knows what...
News Devil May Cry 5's Void Mode Is a Practice Arena for Capcom's Sequel
More at The Game Awards 2018

News Fallout 76's Gigantic Day One Patch Is Bigger Than the 45GB Game
Nuked

Review Spyro the Dragon - The Classic Collectathon That Put Insomniac on the Map
Don't Gnorc it
While Insomniac Games has become one of PlayStation's most recognised developers, it cut its teeth with the little known PSone first-person shooter Disruptor, which launched in 1996. It was a DOOM clone among many others that populated the gaming landscape at the time, but there were aspects to it that made it stand out among the...

Review Road Redemption - Road Rash Meets Roguelite for Rough and Ready Action
Rev Dead Redemption
To put it plainly, Road Redemption technically isn't that impressive. It's very rough around the edges, in more ways than one, and it isn't doing anything truly groundbreaking. However, it knows exactly what it is and who it's for. This self-awareness doesn't take away the weaker aspects of the game, but odds are you won't care...
News Sony's PlayStation Classic Runs on an Open Source Emulator
But by all accounts it's a good one
The latest gaming forum controversy pertains to the PlayStation Classic and the fact that it’s running open source software named PCSX ReARMed, an emulator which was first conceived all the way back in 2000. The common sentiment in online message boards is that Sony’s being “lazy” by not writing its own...
News PlayStation Classic Allows You to Create Resume Points in Games
Pause your progress
Remember the PSPgo? Sony’s miniature handheld only played digital games, but it was actually a really likeable device, and one of its best features was how it allowed you to effectively save anywhere in any game. By bringing up the main menu, you could effectively create ‘Resume Points’, which meant even if you hadn’t...

This ain't a theme, it's a goddamn arms race
They can be hard to come by, but who doesn’t love a good PlayStation 4 theme? Truant Pixel has been cranking out quality animated wallpapers since the beginning of time, but it seems the fine folks at PlayStation Europe have uncharacteristically put their collective foot down when it comes to bad ass...
Forsaken is right
Destiny 2: Forsaken sales haven't met publisher Activision's expectations despite the expansion making a ton of money when it launched in September.

Review Tetris Effect - A Classic Puzzler Taken to Unprecedented New Levels
Once more with feeling
If only it was easy to put into words how Tetris Effect will make you feel. Unfortunately, there’s a reason we’re here writing reviews rather than best-sellers, but we’re going to give it our best shot. Much like Rez Infinite before it, there’s something melancholy and moving about Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s take on the...
Round Up Battlefield V PS4 Reviews Begin to Breach Enemy Lines
War never changes
Battlefield V has the most convoluted, complicated release schedule of any game ever, which means that for some people on some platforms the first-person shooter is out now; for others you may be waiting as late as 20th November to get your hands on the DICE developed sequel. Yeah, it’s bizarre. It means that some reviews are...
News New PlayStation Classic Photos Are a Sight for Sore Eyes
Mini console ready for close-up
We're pretty smitten with the PlayStation Classic. This miniaturised PSone is currently getting some fairly lukewarm write ups, but it's hard to ignore the allure of the little console itself. At 45 per cent the size of the original PlayStation, the PS Classic is minuscule, but it's a perfect replica of that iconic...

FromSoftware with love
Long before FromSoftware burst into the public consciousness with its Souls titles, it already had a large body of work to its name dating back decades.

Get them while you can
It looks as though most North American retailers are running the same offers on Sony's systems this Black Friday. Walmart has also advertised its holiday sale on a whole range of products, and among them are deals we've seen already -- but it's worth looking at them again, as they're pretty darn good.

We're in for quite the show
With less than a month to go, Geoff Keighley has begun to hype up this year's Game Awards show.

News This PS4 Synthwave Dynamic Theme Bundle Is Pretty Darn Cool
An 80s style trip
Every now and then the PlayStation 4 gets really cool dynamic theme, but we must admit, they don't come much cooler than this. The Synthwave A/B Complete Dynamic Theme Bundle is so cool that it's even nabbed its own trailer over on PlayStation's official YouTube channel. It costs $3.99 on the North American store, but sadly it's...

Channel deleted, then restored
Like so many of Rockstar’s games, Red Dead Redemption 2 trades heavily on its freedom.

Of course, not everyone is going to use that freedom in the most positive...

PlayStation Store Sales Charts RDR2 Can't Beat Black Ops 4
Assassin's Creed Odyssey in the conversation
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 toppled Red Dead Redemption 2 in the October 2018 PlayStation Store sales charts – but the latter only had a few days of tracking. Activision’s first-person shooter emerged victorious on both sides of the pond, while Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and FIFA 19 traded third and...
Quiet down
The Quiet Man has made a bit of a name for itself since it launched last week, and not in a good way.

In The Quiet Man, you play as a deaf main character, and for this...

Round Up Hitman 2 PS4 Reviews Boil Down to 'Good Work, 47'
Viva Tobias Reaper
Hitman 2 is flying under the radar, which is unfortunate given how great its predecessor is.

Quest for the West
We don't quite know how well Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age has performed here in the West, but given its unfortunate release date and its relatively niche appeal, among other factors, it's probably had a semi-decent run at best.

Hey, did you realise that today is the 7th November, also known as N7 Day to fans of Mass Effect?
