Review Knowledge Is Power (PS4)
Limited power
Fresh from releasing the inaugural PlayLink title That’s You in July, Wish Studios has come back with a second game for Sony’s smartphone-based lineup: Knowledge Is Power – a one to six player quiz game. While it’s more orthodox compared to the delightful oddball that was That’s You, the Brighton studio’s...
Review Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered (PS4)
Revolutionary
The last console generation seems like a quainter time compared to now. Granted, we didn’t have as many indie games then as we do now, but for every big-budget blockbuster there were numerous B-games: passion projects lacking polish but full of heart. We’re talking about games like Deadly Premonition, Binary Domain, The...
News Amy Hennig Leaves EA, Goes Independent
"Ragtag" Star Wars game now open world
With EA closing Visceral Games last year and its Amy Hennig-fronted Star Wars game, codenamed "Ragtag", being handed over to EA Vancouver, it appeared that the future of the project was in doubt. Now, in an interview with Eurogamer at this year's Gamelab conference, Hennig has announced that she left EA in...
News Cyberpunk 2077 Still in Pre-Alpha Stage
E3 demo is "the most polished part"
Despite recent news that CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 will release on PS4 and not next generation, by the sounds of things it's still a long way off. In an interview with Polish website Bankier (translation provided by WCCFTech) studio president Adam Kicinski claim
News Friday the 13th: The Game Slashes All Future Content
Ongoing lawsuit means no content can be added
A few weeks ago, Friday the 13th: The Game developer Gun Media announced that it was involved in a copyright lawsuit between the director of the original Friday the 13th movie, Sean Cunningham, and the film's writer, Victor Miller. Since the lawsuit is ongoing, no new Friday the 13th products can be...
DLC Review Natural Disasters Isn't Quite A Disaster for Cities: Skylines
Not causing earthquakes
Natural Disasters is the latest DLC for city-builder darling Cities: Skylines, adding plenty of catastrophic events that threaten to destroy your badly planned town. Meteors are undoubtedly the highlight, creating massive explosions and leaving behind gloriously destructive craters, while tsunamis, although very rare, are the...
Review Super Daryl Deluxe (PS4)
Super Daryl Delax
Comedy games are often risky projects - it’s harder than you’d think to create a game that’s funny all the way through. Super Daryl Deluxe, from Dan & Gary Games, gives it a good go with its surrealist settings, but its base gameplay isn’t exciting enough to distinguish itself from the many Metroidvania-RPGs on the...
Guide Fortnite: Battle Royale PS4 Beginners Tips and Tricks
Help getting started with Epic Games' gargantuan online shooter
Fortnite: Battle Royale has taken the PlayStation 4 by storm, bringing the newly-booming battle royale genre to the console for the first time. With millions upon millions of players logging on every day, there’s an awful lot of competition, so we’ve compiled a Fortnite: Battle...
Review TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge (PS4)
On the edge of boring
As you can probably tell by its title, TT Isle of Man Racing: Ride on the Edge is a very niche game. Not only is it an entire game dedicated to one sub-genre of motorcycle sport, but it’s actually dedicated to one race; the Isle of Man’s Snaefell Mountain Course is the only official track present, with fictional tracks set...
Frantic Mr Fox
Steve Harvey. Bradley Walsh. Phillip Schofield. Game show hosts are truly the most influential people of our time: they crack jokes met with a sensible chuckle, engage in light-hearted conversations with hopeful contestants that they probably hate, and console poor old Brenda from Swindon after she answers a question about Eastenders...
Vin Gravel
Sorry to aggravate the aggregate heads, but Gravel isn’t actually about everyone’s favourite loose collection of rock fragments – sadly, it’s only a fun arcade racer. Coming from the motorheads at racing game specialists Milestone, Gravel focuses less on raw simulation and more on down-and-dirty off-road action, delivering an...
News Fortnite's 3.0 Update Bolsters Building
All nite long
Battle royale sensation Fortnite is getting its 3.0 update, improving building mechanics in a number of ways. Arguably the biggest new feature will be Turbo Building, allowing players to continuously build constructions by holding down the right trigger instead of having to constantly press it - something that'll really help when you...
News CD Projekt Red Wades in on Loot Box Debate
Meanwhile, a U.S. Senator calls for investigation

Now, CD Projekt Red has voiced its opinions on the subject. Marcin Iwiński, co-founder of the beloved Witcher developer, said in...
News Fortnite: Battle Royale Offers Exclusive PS Plus Items
Well fort-out

News Kingdom Hearts III Release Date Might Not Be Announced at E3 After All
We goofed
Square Enix revealed Kingdom Hearts III's main theme and a new trailer at the D23 Expo in Tokyo last weekend, but it was also falsely reported that a release date for the game would be announced at E3 this year. Forgive us for getting excited at an announcement of an announcement via a Tweet, but it turns out that this was actually a bit...
News Hawaii's Government Proposes Action Against Loot Boxes
Loot out
Everyone's probably tired of hearing about it, but it seems like we still haven't seen the end of the Star Wars Battlefront 2 loot box controversy's consequences. In what is a landmark for laws regulating games - something scarce in most countries until now - Representative Chris Lee of Oahu has proposed two bills to the Hawaii State...
News Here's Why Kingdom Come: Deliverance's Day One Patch Is So Big
It'll take all knight to download
News last Friday that Kingdom Come: Deliverance's whopping 23GB day one patch will double the size of the game left a few people unhappy – although giant day one patches have become a common occurrence in recent years – so now publisher Deep Silver has revealed the reasons behind the update's size...
News Kingdom Hearts III Gets a Fantastical New Trailer, Confirms a Bunch of Things
Monster mash
Disney's D23 Expo Japan, starting today, could be the site of an announcement concerning Kingdom Hearts III. The Kingdom Hearts Twitter account teased an appearance at the expo, leading many to speculate whether another trailer or even a release date could be revealed in Tokyo. Kingdom Hearts III's current 2018 release date
News Donnie Yen Announces Sleeping Dogs Movie Role
Clear the Wei
After rumours early last year that a Sleeping Dogs movie was in the works, everyone's favourite Donnie Yen has recently announced on his Instagram page that he'll indeed be taking up the role of undercover officer Wei Shen. The acclaimed Hong Kong actor - who should be best known for his role in xXx: Return of Xander Cage, a film we'll...
Review Kerbal Space Program: Enhanced Edition (PS4)
Kerballsed up
Kerbal Space Program: Enhanced Edition is a game like no other on PlayStation 4, not only in terms of its space program-running gameplay, but also in terms of what’s going on under its deceptively cartoonish hood. A very impressive physics engine is stored in there, with every orbit calculated and every atmosphere rendered...
News Boss Heavy Platformer Iconoclasts Hits PS4, PS Vita 23rd January

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy close behind
With our very own Game of the Year list enshrined in history, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the jury's in on the best games of last year. However, apparently a panel of industry professionals called the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences has announced their...
