A bit of a minus
Remember when Sony increased the storage space available for PlayStation Plus cloud saves from 10GB to 100GB? We were pretty overjoyed, especially seeing as the previous limit was paltry.

What’s wrong with me?

Slow month for Sony overall
Console hardware sales were down 22 per cent year-over-year in July 2019, as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One continue to grow a little long in the tooth.

After the failed open world experiment of Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3, publisher CI Games is going back to basics with Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts – a Siberia-set campaign with five maps, each designed to be replayed over and over again in order to unlock additional tools and gear.

News Pantsu Hunter Goes Back to the 90s on PS4, PS Vita
It's romantic, allegedly
With a name like Pantsu Hunter: Back to the 90s, you’d expect this Sometimes You-published PlayStation 4 and PS Vita visual novel to be about finding ways to sniff your big sister’s briefs. Instead, the company claims that it’s “not an 18-plus game at all, so don’t expect any nudity or sex scenes here”. While...

While it’s...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 284
Olympic effort
Premier League football has finally made its long awaited return, and that’s about to eat into our weekends once more.
