Just a little addendum to today's UK sales charts: Final Fantasy Type-0 HD and Resident Evil: Revelations 2 both sold best on the PlayStation 4 – and by some margin. According to Metro, a whopping 78 per cent of the former's first week British sales came courtesy of Sony
Review Resident Evil: Revelations 2 - Episode Four: Metamorphosis (PlayStation 4)
Dumb and dumber
Pin back your decaying lugholes and listen for a second: there are two endings to Resident Evil: Revelations 2, and one will leave you feeling significantly more satisfied than the other.

First Impressions Is Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Rotten or Ripe on PS4?
Claire's accessories
Resident Evil: Revelations faced a tough test when we reviewed it on the PlayStation 3 a couple of years ago. At the time of its release in May 2013, this author had already played a meaty chunk of The Last of Us, and Jill Valentine's oceanic romp failed to really live up. In hindsight, it was perhaps a little unfair to expect...

Today's a pretty big day for game releases, but, as per usual, something's went a bit wrong on the PlayStation Store. Many users are reporting that they can't download or preload Dragon Ball XenoVerse and Resident Evil: Revelations 2.

News Here's a Really Bad Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Trailer
Resident rubbish
With the likes of The Last of Us and Hideo Kojima’s brilliant P.T. demo ripping up the survival horror rulebook, we’re not convinced that grotty prisons and hanging bodies are going to do the trick for Capcom anymore.
