Sony moves in mysterious ways these days, which can make predicting the platform holder’s plans a challenge to say the least. Here are a handful of things I’ve observed of late, however: the company’s announcing and showcasing games much closer to release these days; it tends to focus on one title at a time; it’s over E3...
News Pigeon Dating Sim Hatoful Boyfriend Being Delisted from PS Store

1st June release date
After weeks of rumours and teasing, Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown has been officially announced. It's an enhanced remaster of Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown — a cracking 3D fighter that released on the PlayStation 3 back in 2012.

News Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown Was Remade Using Yakuza's Dragon Engine
Kiryu-chan!
Only just announced earlier today, Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown is launching exclusively for PlayStation 4 on the 1st June. It's essentially a remaster of Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, which originally released for the PS3 all the way back in 2012 — but this isn't just some quick and dirty resolution boost. As it turns out,...
Random You Wooden Believe This Custom Build Is a PS5 Console
But it is
We can probably all agree that the PlayStation 5's visual design is not to everyone's tastes. While we rather like the bold choice Sony made for the console's look, not everybody agrees. The curvy surfaces and white-and-black colour scheme are striking, but understandably, fans disagree whether it looks good. For those that don't like the...
News UK Sales Charts: Mass Effect Makes Way as Resident Evil Village Reclaims Number One
Winters is coming
Resident Evil Village is doing very well for itself so far, if the UK's physical sales are anything to go by. The game debuted in the top spot, came in second last week, and is now back in prime position. Capcom's survival horror hit continues to sell best on PlayStation too, with the PS5 and PS4 versions making up nearly three...

Review Rust Console Edition (PS4) - Ugly Survival Game Has Special Moments
Endure and survive
Rust Console Edition should be rubbish. Double Eleven’s tardy PlayStation 4 translation of the seminal PC survival smash has taken its sweet time to release, and it’s not exactly enjoying the smoothest launch period, with crafting bugs, hit detection hiccups, and some of the most vomit-inducing visuals we’ve seen in years...

News Dying Light: Platinum Edition Leaks, But Don't Get Too Excited
Microsoft Store does it again
The Microsoft Store has struck once more by accidentally revealing an upcoming announcement. This time around it's Techland who falls victim, as plans for a Dying Light: Platinum Edition releasing this Thursday have been posted ahead of time. However, this re-release isn't actually all that exciting — it simply...
Mini Review King of Seas (PS4) - A Slow But Seaworthy Pirate RPG
Weathering the storm
King of Seas might have an uncomfortably similar name to Microsoft's Sea of Thieves, but the two are very different takes on nautical adventuring. This is a top-down, sea-faring sandbox in which you play as the child of the titular monarch, framed for his murder and forced into a life of piracy. The story isn't going to blow you...
News Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart PS5 Size Is Smaller Than We Thought
You love to see it
A couple of weeks back, we reported on the file size for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Weighing in at 42.2GB, we noted that it would require a reasonable chunk of your PlayStation 5's storage space — but it turns out that the actual download size is quite a bit smaller. PlayStation Game Size now reports that the new,...
Rumour Final Fantasy Origin Reveal Set for E3, Working with Team Ninja

News Post-Apocalyptic JRPG Metal Max Xeno Reborn Gives Enhanced Adventure Another Shot on PS4
Tanks very much
Originally released for PlayStation 4 back in 2018, Metal Max Xeno was a quirky Japanese RPG with a post-apocalyptic setting (and loads of weird, over-the-top enemies). It was met with rather lukewarm reviews, but the game's getting a second chance in 2022. The suitably named Metal Max Xeno Reborn comes with a number of...
