News Gran Turismo Sport Has Added Over 100 Cars for Free Since Launch
As well as over 30 tracks
Gran Turismo Sport, in our opinion, is gaming as a service done the right way. Polyphony Digital’s built a pretty impressive e-sports scene around the simulation racer, and it’s continued to improve and iterate upon the PlayStation 4 exclusive since its launch last year – eroding any criticisms that players had about...
Game of the Year 2018 #9 - Monster Hunter: World
A true monster
Finally bringing Capcom's criminally addictive series back to home consoles, Monster Hunter: World wowed both critics and fans when it released near the start of the year. Its early release date has perhaps hindered it when it comes to Game of the Year conversations, but make no mistake: this superbly crafted action RPG should not be...
Review Kingdom Two Crowns - Enjoyably Minimalist Strategy
Regal action
Strategy games can be rather intimidating. Generally speaking, they're difficult by design, forcing you to think several steps ahead, and make decisions more carefully than you would in other genres. Occasionally you'll come across a strategy title that's a little easier to get into, and the Kingdom games are certainly in that ballpark...

Review Marvel's Spider-Man: Silver Lining - A Lukewarm End to the City That Never Sleeps Story
Every cloud
The release of Silver Lining marks the conclusion of the City That Never Sleeps expansion for Marvel's Spider-Man, and as a finale, it's a slight letdown. It's clearer now more than ever that a sequel is coming, but leaving so many narrative threads dangling makes for quite an unsatisfying ending to this extra story. Even so, this still...
Game of the Year 2018 #10 - Spyro: Reignited Trilogy
Feel good dragon
Taking into account the joy provided by the release of Crash Brandicoot N.Sane Trilogy, it was silly to think that this venture wasn’t going to kickstart a flurry of remakes that would send us flying head first back to our childhood. Despite some hearty competition in 2018, the Spyro: Reignited Trilogy still manages to sparkle...

2018 was absolutely loaded with great games, and equally great music. The quality started all the way back in January and didn’t let up, offering top-notch content throughout the year.

News Kingdom Hearts VR Delayed Out of Scheduled Xmas Window
The dark defeats the light
It wouldn’t be Kingdom Hearts without a delay along the way, would it?

Got 'em, Tiger
In its first three months on sale in the United States, Marvel’s Spider-Man has become the fastest-selling superhero game ever.

News For Honor Is Crossing Blades with Assassin's Creed in Special In-Game Event
For the Creed
Ubisoft is a publisher that isn't shy about merging its games together in fun ways.

A special, three-week event has just begun in medieval combat game For Honor, and it...

News Sony Releases Lemmings for Smartphones, and It's Stuffed with Microtransactions
Whee
Sony’s carefully guided a new Lemmings game onto smartphones, and it wants to lead you towards the microtransactions once you’ve installed it. This is stuffed with standard mobile game crap, with countdown timers and £99.99 consumables – but if you get past the free-to-play hooks, it’s actually likeable stuff. Developed by a studio...
News Housemarque Is Working on an Unannounced AAA Game

News No, Sony's Holiday Theme Probably Isn't Teasing PS5
High five
Remember that awesome holiday theme Sony sent out to select PlayStation Network members for Christmas? Well, a handful of people believe it includes a secret PlayStation 5 tease. Crazy?

Review Atelier Arland Series Deluxe Pack - A Trio of Delights
Atelier what, it's pretty good
The Atelier series is something of an acquired taste. The games tend to be a mix of super-relaxed storylines with anxiety-inducing time limit systems. The juxtaposition can be a bit off-putting to some, but once you realise that the time limits aren’t as harsh as they first appear then you can start to appreciate...

Lunchboxes offering buffs for Atoms?
It's fair to say the launch of Fallout 76 hasn't gone as smoothly as Bethesda would've wanted.

Unfortunately, it feels like things are...
Review Nippon Marathon - Janky Japanese Japes
Takeshi's hassle
It does feel like there's some strange appetite at the moment for multiplayer games that are actually a little bit shoddy.

Nippon Marathon slots very neatly into this small but growing convention,...
