News Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Clip Shows an Empowering Story Moment
Spidey spoilers
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is named after the novice superhero for a reason.

News Konami Says Legendary PS4 Demo P.T. Won't Play on PS5
But let's wait and see
It was only a demo at the end of the day, but it really does feel like P.T. was one of the defining releases of the PlayStation 4 era. The short “playable teaser” – which Konami used to announce the defunct Silent Hills – went on to influence dozens of games, and its presence on the PlayStation Store was so large that...

What a console
PlayStation Access has released a fantastic video that shows one second of every game that has helped define the PS4 generation.

Mini Review Cloudpunk - Sci-Fi Noir Deliver 'Em Up Does Just Enough
UPSo-so
Cloudpunk is the name of a legally ambiguous delivery company that operates in the future city of Nivalis, delivering whatever — or whomever — the job requires and asking zero questions.

Hands On Ghost of Tsushima's Free Co-Op Update Defies All Expectations
Legendary
Ghost of Tsushima: Legends has arrived courtesy of Ghost of Tsushima's free 1.12 update, and it's shockingly good. We had reasonably high expectations for this co-op excursion, but Sucker Punch's efforts have still blown us away. This isn't some throwaway multiplayer mode — the kind that we used to see bolted onto everything back in the...
Review Amnesia: Rebirth - The SOMA Team Has Its First Dud
One foot in the grave
It really does feel like Frictional Games has come full circle. After redefining what it means to be part of the horror genre for the past decade, the Swedish team has reunited itself with the series where its name was made. That takes the shape of a proper sequel to Amnesia: The Dark Descent. However, this is no longer a match...
News All Hallows' Dreams Is a Real Halloween Treat on PS4
Scarily good
With everything that's happened in 2020, it's maybe easy to forget that Dreams released back in February, which feels like an eternity ago.

News Sony Looking into Feedback on Roundly Criticised PS4 Party Changes
"Thanks for speaking up"
To be fair to Sony, we can see what it’s trying to do with Parties on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Effectively, it wants them to be more Discord-esque, enabling you to communicate with your pals in a variety of different ways. The problem is that this change comes at the expense of the simplicity of the previous...

News September 2020 NPD: Marvel's Avengers Hulk Smashes Its Rivals
Tony Hawk 1 + 2 kickflips fourth
What a strange launch Marvel’s Avengers has endured! The game has, by all intents and purposes, sold well – but it’s perhaps failed to meet the behemoth expectations put upon it by publisher Square Enix.
