The little space ship that could
While a fairly pedestrian shmup, Super Mega Space Blaster Special Turbo does have a couple of features that make it worth a quick look.

Heroes of China
The flagship title of Sony's China Hero Project, Lost Soul Aside, has been floating about for quite a while now -- originally announced nearly half a decade ago as a fan project. It's a Devil May Cry inspired title we've been looking forward to playing for an excruciatingly long time, but 2020 might finally be the year we get our...
News Silent Hill Artist Tweets About Upcoming Project, Hopes It 'Won't Be Cancelled'
Not so silent
You never know what's happening behind closed doors, and that of course extends to video games. Countless unannounced titles are being worked on right now, and we won't know what any of them are until publishers decide it's time. It's been around eight years since the last meaningful entry into the Silent Hill series, and fans will no...
News UK Sales Charts: WWE 2K20 Wrestles Its Way Back Into Familiar Top 10
Call of Duty still top
It's time to take a look at the first UK games chart for 2020, and it may give you a sense of déjà vu. The physical top 10 is largely unchanged since last week, and once again, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare resides in the number one spot. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and FIFA 20 have swapped places, meaning they still round...

Crystal ball gazing
2020 is shaping up to be an absolutely gigantic year for video games. The likes of Final Fantasy VII Remake, Cyberpunk 2077, and The Last of Us: Part 2 are all on their way, but the magic of it all is that every heavy hitter arrives on PlayStation 4 before we even reach E3. Ghost of Tsushima will see us through the summer months,...

Rumour Assassin's Creed Ragnarok Leaked Again, This Time Through a Product Listing
The beginning of the end
Update: Sadly, it seems as though the image that this story is based upon could be fake. A bit of a shame, but this possibility doesn't take away from past leaks and rumours regarding Assassin's Creed Ragnarok. In any case, we're bound to hear more about the next Assassin's Creed title at some point this year. Sony's...
Bewitching
Earlier this week, there were more people playing CD Projekt RED’s outstanding open world role-playing game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on Steam than there’s ever been.

Daylight robbery

News You'll Never Be Able to Guess the UK's Top Selling Games of the Decade
Sarcasm ends
Which games sold the most at retail in the 2010s? For the UK, it's a pretty unsurprising top 10, and you've probably guessed half of it correctly without even looking at the chart below.

Rumour Is This Ape Escape Twitter Account Hinting at a New Game in 2020?
Going ape
The Ape Escape series has eluded PlayStation consoles for a long time now, and fans have been crying out for a revival. We haven't seen a game starring those puny primates since that PlayStation Move title in 2011, and even that wasn't quite the real deal. As with many of Sony's legacy IPs, Ape Escape seems to have been locked away in the...

Soapbox Sony's First-Party Lineup Looks Sublime in 2020
Exclusive: read all about it
Between the likes of Days Gone, Death Stranding, and MediEvil, it’d be extremely difficult to argue that 2019 was a rare weak year for Sony’s first-party – but it’s a criticism that you’ll read online all the same. The Japanese giant is renowned for supporting its systems through until the bitter end, though,...
Mini Review Blazing Chrome - JoyMasher's Homage to the Best 16-Bit Run-'n'-Gun Games
Joy machine masher
In a similar way to scrolling shooters, there's a purity to the gameplay in side-scrolling run-and-gun games, which has kept retro gamers coming back since Contra in 1987. Developed by JoyMasher and released in July 2019, Blazing Chrome's success comes from taking inspiration from the best 16-bit run-and-gun games -- with...
Save the planet
Update: Even the file size for the Final Fantasy VII Remake demo has leaked, and guess what? It's pretty darn big.

Starfield cancelled too
We know that talk of acquisitions has never been more fierce, but this latest rumour is just a little bit too silly for our liking.
