News Three Fields Entertainment Announces Dangerous Driving 2, Speeds onto PS4 in 2020
One more go
Dangerous Driving was an attempt to revitalise the high-intensity thrills of Burnout, and while it came kind of close in some respects, it didn't quite measure up to Criterion's beloved racing series.

News Daymare: 1998 Exists to Remind You the Nineties Are Retro Now
Two princes
We grew up in the nineties, so we’re not quite sure how we feel about the era being considered retro now. We suppose it has been 30 years since 1990 – in fact, that’s a frightening thought, isn’t it? Daymare: 1998 promises to celebrate the decade at least, delivering a “multi-character” survival horror story “with tons of...

Size matters
Superliminal has been around on PC for a little while, and we've looked at it from afar with admiration.
