FIFA 20 has three core modes of play: Ultimate Team, Career Mode, and the all-new Volta. However, only one of these modes stands strong as a rock solid time sink -- care to guess which one? If you said anything but Ultimate Team, then you haven't been paying attention. Once again, EA Sports bolsters the mode that makes FIFA one of...
News Star Wars Jedi Story Trailer Is Its Best Yet
Cue orchestral score
At under two minutes in length, this new Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order trailer is short but sweet. It's a story focused, mostly cinematic cut that does a good job of making main character Cal's quest seem fittingly epic. For our money, it's the best trailer the game's had up to this point. With so much buzz around all the games...
News Enemies Will Make Things Personal in The Last of Us 2, Referring to Each Other By Name
Morally grey
One tidbit that stands out to us in all the Last of Us: Part II previews is this idea that human enemies are more, well, humanised. A group of hostile folks will all likely know each other, and are probably trying to protect friends and family. This won't mean an awful lot for gameplay, but hearing enemies calling out in horror when...

According to the PlayStation Blog, there are at least three skill...

Naughty dogs
As expected, The Last of Us: Part II is going to bring us some fresh threats to tackle. The first game featured both human and infected bad guys, and that's set to return in the sequel. However, we now know about a couple more enemy types. A new infected threat is the Shambler. You might remember the huge, Clicker-looking chap from the...
News Ellie Has Much More Freedom of Movement in The Last of Us 2
A jump button!
The Last of Us: Part II has us playing as a 19-year-old Ellie, and it sounds as though she's going to be a far more agile protagonist than old man Joel. Though not as physically strong as her adoptive father, Ellie is set to have far more manoeuvres up her sleeve to get herself out of harm's way. Firstly, there's a dedicated jump...

News Panic! at the Disco Is the Next Band Bringing Music to Beat Saber on PSVR
No need to panic
Beat Saber is one PlayStation VR game we keep coming back to. The music might be hit and miss, but the gameplay is endlessly satisfying regardless of the tunes. Thankfully, the PSVR hit is getting more music fairly regularly -- with two premium DLC packs and a free one for good measure, there's plenty of songs to choose from these...
News Multiple Mafia Trademarks Suggest a New Game Could Be in Development
Alongside a remaster of Mafia II
We haven't heard anything whatsoever from the Mafia franchise ever since its third entry came and went a few years back on PlayStation 4.

News The Last of Us 2 PS4 Box Art Warns Us Not to Get on Ellie's Bad Side
"You can't stop this"
If there's one thing that's clear about The Last of Us: Part II, it's that Ellie is not a happy bunny. The recent trailer seems to point towards a pretty obvious motivation for revenge, so we don't blame her. It's no wonder, then, that Sony has made Ellie's snarling face the focal point of the PlayStation 4 exclusive's cover...
