Sony kicked off today's State of Play with a fresh game announcement. Humanity is the latest project from developers THA and Enhance Games, the studio that brought us the exquisite Tetris Effect.

News Rock of Ages III: Make & Break Rolls onto PS4 in 2020
With a boulder new hook
We rather liked Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder. The series is an entertaining blend of tower defence and racing, sort of. It's an oddball experience, but the act of throwing a huge boulder down a hill, dodging obstacles and aiming to smash into the castle at the bottom, is surprisingly good fun. The last game arrived on...

Evolutionary extinction
We’re not sure we care much for what Evotinction actually is – but let’s talk about that name, shall we?

This one appears to...

Staging a coo
Have you been wondering what Bossa Studios is up to these days? The British developer has made an eclectic mix of stuff over the years.

Arrives very soon
Who here remembers ActRaiser? A game from early in the life of the SNES, it combined 2D side-scrolling action with top down city-building strategy.

E3 2019 Contra: Rogue Corps May Not Be the Reboot You Wanted
Not like this
What in hot hell is this? Konami made an announcement during E3 2019’s big Nintendo Direct earlier today: a grim-looking twin-stick shooter named Contra: Rogue Corps.
