Review Payday 2: Crimewave Edition (PS4)
The heist life
As a law abiding citizen, committing robbery is probably the last thing on your mind. That said, somewhere inside your deepest thoughts – whether you'd admit it or not – you've probably pondered what it would be like to throw off the shackles of society's laws, and turn to a life crime. In Payday 2: Crimewave Edition for the...

News PS4 Space Sim ADR1FT's Leaked E3 Trailer Will Give You a Panic Attack
Space jam
It's every developer's worst nightmare: you're mere days away from E3, when your flashy new trailer gets leaked. Such is the case for California-based outfit threeonezero, whose video for PlayStation 4 space sim ADR1FT is now, erm, adrift. Instead of playing coy, though, the developer has cleverly decided to simply release the video into...
News Payday 2: Crimewave Edition Breaks into the PS4's Library
More skills, new skill system, twice as many characters

News Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons May Be Coming to PS4
Next-gen feels
Starbreeze Studios made grown men weep (don't deny it) with its exceptionally crafted Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons back on the PlayStation 3.

News Overkill's The Walking Dead Shooter Lumbers onto PS4 in 2016
Possessed Payday
Despite its grisly premise, zombie franchise The Walking Dead has been the flavour of the month for many, many months now. That's a figure of speech, of course; we're hoping that no one has taken any actual culinary tips from the show's shuffling stars. At any rate, the undead hit has seen all manner of video game adaptations –...
News Starbreeze Studios Sells Off Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons to 505 Games
A new chapter
Ask anyone who has played Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and they'll tell you that it's a fascinating adventure that culminates with an emotional punch to the gut.

That's a Tuesday so could be...
News In PS4 Indie Adr1ft, No One Can Hear You Scream
Space ace
There are finite settings that can be used in games, and space is a good one.

The pretty PlayStation 4 title will set a course for the stars next...

Review Sniper Elite III (PlayStation 4)
Boom headshot
It’s ironic that so soon after the release of Valiant Hearts: The Great War, another title with a very different outlook on war has stealthily marched onto the PlayStation 4. In Sniper Elite III, rather than making you think about the needless loss of life, this latest instalment in the distance shooter series asks that you revel in...

News Sniper Elite 3 Will Allow You to Rearrange Circulatory Systems on PS4
Emergency surgery
For as unashamedly goofy as it may be, there’s something entertaining about the Sniper Elite series’ ostentatious X-ray killcams.

Review Tiny Brains (PlayStation 4)
Tiny brains, big character
Science: it’s a wonderful thing. Without science, we’d still be muddling through the dark ages, in a world without Facebook and instant soup. Of course, before such manmade wonders can exist, they need to be tested – and what better way is there to trial such innovations than by exploiting poor animals? Don’t call...
Review Terraria (PlayStation Vita)
Landheld gaming
Back when Terraria launched on the PlayStation 3, we praised its diverse collection of content and its overall depth, but felt that the title's awkward user interface and time consuming gameplay held it back from greatness in our review. On Sony's handheld, however, the game makes use of the system's touch screen – but is the new...

Game was not good enough
Much like the sport that it’s based upon, Ashes Cricket 2013 will be standing around in its whites for a few more months. 505 Games has decided to hold back the sleepy simulator until November, due to the title not meeting quality expectations. It will now deploy alongside the second Ashes series, which is set to be played...
Review Terraria (PlayStation 3)
Building blocks
Terraria is a strange title. Its 2D world suggests simple fun when compared to the gritty realism that most games portray, while its quirky styling and audio lead to an often comedic atmosphere. Don’t be fooled by the aesthetics, though – this is a release that demands your time and effort if you want to get the most out of it...

Preview Sniper Elite V2 May Have PS3's Most Satisfying Kills
Bang, you're dead
As far as we’re concerned, sniper rifles have always been the most satisfying weapons in games.

Since Rebellion’s original stealth...

News Latest Supremacy MMA Trailer Throws Some Heavy Punches
505 Games has released a new trailer attempting to prove why its upcoming Supremacy MMA is the "dirtiest MMA game yet"
We think the subtle use of classical music adds to the effect. The visuals aren't great, but the game certainly looks gnarly.</em>
News UK Sales Charts: You Guessed It
To be fair -- not much else launched in the UK last week to challenge Zumba Fitness' unbeatable reign
There was movement elsewhere however. Cars 2 climbed into second, while Call Of Juarez: The Cartel sticked to the top three. Elsewhere there's really not much else to say: regular favourites DiRT 3, FIFA 11 and Call Of Duty: Black Ops all charted...

News 505 Games Hints At PlayStation Vita Release This Year
It's been a bizarre day for handheld systems
The Internet seems to have replaced all its goodwill for the PlayStation Vita — born out of an excellent E3 showing and fantastic price-point — for trepidation and concerns.
