It's becoming increasingly easy to forget that there's a different Like a Dragon game coming out just a few weeks, because SEGA just won't shut up about the next mainline entry, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Indeed, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name drops on the 9th November, but the marketing push for...
News Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth's Mature Age Rating Description Is Hilarious
Who's arseking?
As you'd probably expect of the series at this point, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth will be rated 'Mature' in North America. The ESRB's summary of the upcoming RPG paints a familiar picture, with mention of graphic violence and sexually suggestive content. But we couldn't help but chuckle at the description as a whole, and thought...

News UK Sales Charts: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Comes Out Swinging for Number One Debut
Thwip
Despite solid competition from another major new release, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has made a number one debut on the UK's physical games chart. It trumped Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. Wonder, "comfortably" selling the most boxed copies in the country. We imagine both games will remain in the top 10 for a while. We've yet to see digital sales...
News Looks Like Sony's the Latest to Be Struck by a Slew of Layoffs
Visual Arts Service Group sees cuts
Those of you who pay close attention to the games industry – or even tech sector at large – will know that many companies are being struck with layoffs right now, even the ones that are performing well. It’s perhaps not too surprising to hear that, following a bunch of job cuts at Naughty Dog earlier in the...
News Hideo Kojima Missing from Metal Gear Solid Collection's Credits on PS5, PS4
Konami only acknowledges "all Metal Gear staff and fans"
While his name is still present throughout the game, Hideo Kojima has been removed from the credits of the upcoming Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol 1, which launches later this week on PS5 and PS4. New wrappers for the games simply thank “all Metal Gear staff and fans”, and don’t...

News Skull Island: Rise of Kong Given Just a Single Year of Development
Part of a vicious cycle
Skull Island: Rise of Kong has been doing the rounds for all the wrong reasons, with some calling it the worst game of 2023, thanks to its shallow production values and wonky gameplay. This, inevitably, led to the title being roundly dunked on by the internet writ large and dubbed a "Gollum-like" as a result. Sadly, like

Guide Best Horror Games on PS4
Best PS4 horror games ranked and rated
What are the best horror games on PS4? The good news (or the terrifying news for the scaredy-cats among you) is that the PlayStation 4 is home to a wealth of creepy releases.

News Rewrite Fictional History in The Walking Dead: Destinies on PS5, PS4
Carl?
The Walking Dead: Destinies is a third-person narrative-driven adventure game, and it's coming to PlayStation platforms on 17th November. It has an intriguing pitch: players can explore story paths that AMC's adaptation didn't, allowing players to influence the action. It's looking a bit shaky, and frankly, that's part of the reason for our...
News It Looks Like Persona 3's Protagonist Is Stuck with One-Handed Swords in Reload
Weapon choice doesn't return
If you were holding out hope that the protagonist in Persona 3 Reload would be able to pick and choose between all the different weapon types, we've got (seemingly) bad news. Based on a new information dump from Atlus, the upcoming remake will lock the long-haired hero into using a one-handed sword. For those who may...
Poll Do You Still Play Diablo 4?
Hell and back
With the launch of Diablo 4's second season, the Season of Blood, it's dawned on us that the action RPG is over four months old. And in that time, it feels like the title has drawn no shortage of criticism. Controversial updates dominated the conversation around release — followed by a seemingly lacklustre first season — and...
News Industry Icon Yu Suzuki Returns to PS5, PS4 Next Month
But he's not bringing Shenmue 4
Yu Suzuki, the iconic video game veteran behind classics like OutRun and Shenmue, will return to PS5 and PS4 next month with the console version of his ex-Apple Arcade exclusive Air Twister. This is, in effect, a modern reimagining of Space Harrier – and it’s got an oddball, 90s aesthetic to match. The game will...
News 'Gollum-Like' King Kong Game Is Getting Torn to Shreds Online
"The worst game of 2023"
Let's not sugarcoat it: the new King Kong game, Skull Island: Rise of Kong, is a disaster. The action title is out now on PS5 and PS4, and it's being torn apart by... well, just about everyone. At the time of writing, the game has just one review to its name — a PC write-up from IGN — and that's got a 3/10 slapped on the...
