Feature Uncharted 2 Kickstarted a New Age of First Party Success for Sony
10 years of hits
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. It's a notable game for so many reasons, but many will simply remember it as an unbelievably strong sequel. Naughty Dog was already a highly regarded studio, but with its follow-up to Drake's Fortune, the developer cemented itself as one of the most talented in the...
News When Does the Death Stranding Review Embargo Lift?
Special delivery
Death Stranding is very nearly here. Kojima Productions has wrapped up development and review copies are out there -- it almost doesn't seem possible. Hideo Kojima's crazy game about Norman Reedus and a baby escaping black blob monsters is real? And it's coming out in about two weeks? Yes, it's all very exciting. We're very much...

Swaps bananas for rings
We've actually known about Sonic's cameo appearance in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD for a while now.

News Hit the Streets with Brand New Need for Speed Heat Gameplay Right Now
I SAID RIGHT NOW
Yes, we are going to repeat that brilliantly awful line from the reveal trailer whenever possible. Dangerously cheesy dialogue aside, Need for Speed Heat looks to be shaping up rather nicely. There's now lots of new gameplay footage available to watch, and we've included one video above. IGN's 13-minute video includes a number of...
News Don't Worry, Your V-Bucks and Gear Are Safe Following the Fortnite Blackout
Sony reassures Fortnite players
We're not sure if you've logged into Fortnite recently, but there's a distinct lack of anything whatsoever in the Epic mega-hit right now.

FIFA 20 scores a hat-trick
If you were hoping last week's new releases were going to shake things up in the UK's bestsellers, you're flat out of luck.

Review Children of Morta - Family Matters in This Refreshing Rogue-Lite Adventure
Talkin 'bout my random generation
How do you make your pixelated rogue-lite game stand out? Children of Morta has an interesting answer.

The combination of random levels with a set narrative...
News Infinity Ward Is 'Definitely Not' Working on Loot Boxes for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
More info coming this week
As with any Activision game, speculation runs rampant regarding the possible implementation of loot boxes or similar in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

News Death Stranding's File Size Will Eat Up a Fair Amount of Room on Your PS4
As expected
File size is something people are becoming increasingly concerned with, as modern games take up more and more precious storage space on our consoles. Red Dead Redemption 2 famously eats up more or less 100GB of space just on its own, and some other AAA games are trending that way too. What about Death Stranding, then? How much room will...

Guide Why Does PS4 Copying Update Files Take So Long?
What is copying on PlayStation 4 and why is it so slow?
Why is the PS4 copying update files? A while ago, the PlayStation 4 swapped to a new method when it comes to downloading and installing patches for your favourite games. Once you've downloaded an update, the PS4 will then begin the infamous "copying" procedure, and this can take quite some...
Review ReadySet Heroes - Fundamental Flaws Betray a Novel Twist on Multiplayer Dungeon Crawling
Party animals
ReadySet Heroes, the dungeon crawling party game from Robot Entertainment, arrived two weeks ago, but doesn't seem to be as prepared as its title implies. As of right now, the game just isn't up to scratch, with some glaring issues betraying its interesting ideas. There are just two modes of play. Crawl n' Brawl has up to four players...

News Death Stranding PS4 Pre-Orders in the UK Can Get a Cool Alternative Cover
Higgs variant available now
We kinda like the standard Death Stranding box art, but a fair amount of fans have made it clear it's not what they want. The strange PlayStation 4 game from Kojima Productions is looking utterly bizarre, but by comparison, the key artwork adorning the box is pretty tame. However, did you know that there's an alternate...
Random Haunting Sonic Movie Costumes Arrive Just in Time for Halloween
Gotta spook fast
We've had just about enough time to forget all about Paramount's first attempt at Sonic the Hedgehog in the upcoming movie, and now look what's happened.

The Hitman franchise has swapped hands a bit over the years.
