Porcine power trip
Like a bolt from the blue, publisher Konami has revealed two intriguing retro collections in collaboration with Limited Run Games. Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked bundles together three games from the series, and Felix the Cat combines two difficult-to-come-by titles for the first time. Neither has a release date as yet...
News Dragon's Dogma 2's Sphinx Poses Compelling Gameplay Riddles on PS5
Riddles in the dark
Dragon's Dogma 2 is looking like a fairly radical departure from standard single-player RPG fare. One such example is a nightmarish quest giver, Capcom's depiction of the classical Sphinx, which will require the player to solve riddles with their actions rather than words. As part of IGN's ongoing First coverage of the game,...
News Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown NPC Sneaks Through with Text-to-Speech Audio at Launch
Not so fast buddy
Ubisoft seems to have a bonafide hit on its hands with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, critically at least, and we awarded Sargon's latest adventure an 8/10 in our own review. But as slick as the game is, it looks like one slipped by the goalie, as Ubisoft confirms the game will ship with a specific NPC still using placeholder...
News Rocksteady Lifts Suicide Squad Alpha NDA in Apparent Bid to Counter Damning Previews
Suicide mission?
Final previews for Rocksteady's upcoming action game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice, were muted at best, with the knives coming out at many mainstream outlets. This frosty reception has seemingly blunted the game's marketing momentum, and the powers at Warner Bros. have made the unorthodox, seemingly unprecedented decision to...
News Rock Out in The Last of Us 2 Remastered as Legendary Composer Gustavo Santaolalla
Jammin' with the big man
There aren't many sleeps left until the release of The Last of Us Part II Remastered, which arrives on PS5 next week, on 19th January. If the prospect of reliving the harrowing adventure all over again wasn't enough, or the inclusion of the intriguing No Return roguelike mode, then how about jamming out in Guitar Free Play...
News Sand Land Release Date Locked in for April on PS5, PS4
Ready to roll
Ah, we were wondering when Sand Land would get a release date. We'd have bet on it aiming for the summer months, but it's actually launching a bit sooner, on the 26th April. Yep, it's time to add yet another Japanese game to the early 2024 release schedule! This PS5 and PS4 action adventure has looked quite promising in all of the...
News Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Demo Is Out Now on PS5, PS4
Stealth approach
Update: As suggested, the playable demo for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is available to download now on PS5 and PS4. Just in case you haven't seen them, the action platformer is getting some really good reviews — so it's probably worth checking out the aforementioned demo for yourself! <related ids="160271"> Original...
Review Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (PS5) - A Slick, Satisfying, and Royally Robust Metroidvania
Crowning glory
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is the first major game in Ubisoft's beloved series in a very long time, so we have to give the publisher some kudos for not playing it safe. While a straightforward remake of The Sands of Time is also on the way, this entry is a side-scrolling action platformer with a Metroidvania structure. It...
News Diablo 4 Season 3 Set for the 23rd January
Hell yeah?
Diablo 4's third season will kick off on the 23rd January, according to the game's freshly updated login screen. Blizzard is yet to actually tell us what Season 3 will entail, but the developer has been teasing a livestream for the near future. It's safe to assume that details are incoming, then. Of course, this also means that you've...
News Waiting for SEGA's New Crazy Taxi? Fill the Time with Taxi Life, Hitting PS5 in March
Let's have some fun
Look, we all love Crazy Taxi. The bright colours, the iconic cars and characters, the fast, frantic gameplay — it's a difficult series to dislike, and we can't wait for SEGA's new entry to arrive. However, we can certainly see the value in a taxi game that takes the opposite approach, one that plays it straight and lets you...
News Granblue Fantasy: Relink Showcase Has Loads of New PS5 Gameplay, Including an Endgame Battle
Level 100 here we come
Cygames hosted an in-depth Granblue Fantasy: Relink showcase earlier today, with a heavy emphasis on fresh PS5 gameplay footage. The first section walks us through the single-player story mode, demonstrating the adventure's structure. It essentially boils down to large, explorable areas and big battles, which are strung...
News Latest Banishers PS5 Trailer All About Love, Death, and Sacrifice
As it nears 13th February launch date
DON'T NOD has put out a new trailer for upcoming PS5 title Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, this time focusing on the relationship between the two main characters set to explore New Eden of the 1690s. With a story focus for roughly two-thirds of the footage, it gives way to magical gameplay clips and combat. The...
News Marvel's Spider-Man 2 the Most-Nominated Game at This Year's DICE Awards
Coming in swinging
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 may be Push Square's 2023 Game of the Year (as well as our community's number one, too), but it failed to scoop up any trophies during last month's Game Awards. However, Geoff Keighley's glitzy show isn't the only awards ceremony. The Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences hosts the DICE Awards early each...
News Upgraded PS5 Controller with Hugely Improved Battery Life Spotted

An improved, upgraded version of the PS5’s excellent DualSense controller appears to have leaked on Best Buy Canada’s website. The listing for the product, titled ‘PS5 v2 DualSense Wireless Controller’, promises the same features and functionality as the existing version, but also touts “exceptional...
News Minecraft Legends Development Ends Less Than a Year After Launch
Gone, but not forgotten
Mojang has announced that action strategy spin-off Minecraft Legends will receive no further updates, meaning there won't be any new content, Lost Legends, or Marketplace DLC coming to the game. It's a surprising announcement, considering the game only launched in April of last year. Minecraft itself remains the best-selling...
News Ridiculous Dino Shooter Son and Bone Blasts to PS5 This Year
Clever boy
Up for a properly schlocky dinosaur-based shooter? Of course you are, and it's called Son and Bone. The game looks mental in its above announcement trailer, as player character Sam Judge destroys the overgrown reptiles with guns of all shapes and sizes. The bit where he rips a triceratops' horn off before shoving it into one of the...
Talking Point What Do You Want from Sony and PlayStation in 2024?
A pivotal year for PS5
2024 could and probably should be a big year for Sony and PlayStation. This is the PS5's fourth year on the market, and although it's widely accepted that the current console generation was forced into a slow start by the pandemic, this sort of midpoint is typically where Sony's systems begin to flourish. So, with all of this...
Mini Review Vertigo 2 (PSVR2) - Phenomenal VR Shooter Shares a Lot of DNA with Half-Life
The life of Brian
What a pleasant surprise Vertigo 2 has turned out to be. Waking up in a cell, held captive by the omnipotent — and possibly sinister — Brian, you are eventually let loose to explore a massive scientific facility housing a quantum reactor. The similarities to Half-Life are striking and immediate, but dev Zulubo hasn’t shied...

News Panda Is Fighting for Bamboo Shoots in Latest Tekken 8 Character Trailer
Panda pop
We're getting very close to Tekken 8 now, and Bandai Namco has kept things ticking with regularly released character trailers. The latest of these shines a light on Panda, a character that's been part of the series since PS1's Tekken 3. In the video, we see her using powerful leaps and charged punches to lay waste to her opponent. It...
News Fan Outcry Leads to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Item Pricing in Apex Legends Being Lowered
But it's still a pricey investment
Following heavy criticism of the monetisation surrounding the new Final Fantasy VII Rebirth event in Apex Legends, EA has made adjustments so that getting the full set of items on offer should cost considerably less. Previously, the item packs were going to cost 1,000 Apex Coins (around $10) each, meaning you'd...
News Lil Guardsman Combines Papers, Please-Style Duties with an Explorable Fantasy World
Coming very soon on PS5 and PS4
If you've been craving the bureaucratic responsibilities of Papers, Please, you might be interested in Lil Guardsman — although the tone couldn't be more different. Due to arrive on PS5 and PS4 on 23rd January, this cartoonish, 2D adventure has you admitting — or denying — entry into a fantasy kingdom. You play...
