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...
News Need for Speed Heat Is Official, Coming to PS4 on 8th November
Survival of the fastest

News Pass the Punch Is a Saturday Morning Cartoon Turned Beat 'Em Up from Sumo Digital
Coming to PS4 in 2019
Sumo Digital sure has its fingers in a lot of pies, doesn't it? Not only is it working on all kinds of support work for various publishers, it's busy making its very own titles too. Snake Pass was a pleasant surprise when it slithered onto PlayStation 4 a couple of years ago, and now the studio returns with another original...
News Robot-Themed Brawler Metal Revolution Trades Paint on PS4
Fighting vipers
Metal Revolution appears to be aiming to attract new and old players to the fighting game genre, as the upcoming bot-based brawler promises “minimalistic controls” and “deep gameplay”. We’re not entirely sure how it hopes to bridge the gap between the two, but the gameplay certainly looks solid in the trailer embedded...
ChinaJoy 2019 Action RPG AI-LIMIT Will Remind You of NieR
YoRHa gonna love this one
We’re not saying AI-LIMIT is a knock-off, but the upcoming PlayStation 4 action RPG has clearly taken inspiration from NieR Automata. The title sees you play as a character named Arrisa, as you work to save the world from all kinds of nefarious ne’er-do-wells. “Players can wear a variety of headgear, body wear, limb...
ChinaJoy 2019 Evotinction Is the Most Ridiculous Game Name You'll Read Today
Evolutionary extinction
We’re not sure we care much for what Evotinction actually is – but let’s talk about that name, shall we? It’s a portmanteau of ‘evolution’ and ‘extinction’ we assume, which makes sense seeing as the title seems to be set during a post-apocalyptic future where technology has taken control. This one appears to...
ChinaJoy 2019 Genshin Impact Is An Open World PS4 RPG with Waifus
Waifu of the Wild
Waifu of the Wild is what we colloquially named Genshin Impact at Push Square Towers while it was being showcased during Sony's ChinaJoy 2019 livestream. The open world RPG – previously announced for PC and smartphones – has a fairly cookie cutter premise and art style, but looks pretty polished in its announcement trailer...
ChinaJoy 2019 Undying Brings Emotional Zombie Violence to PS4 in 2020

News Pigeon Simulator Is a Game About Pooping on People and Flying into Lamp Posts
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. Its big break was Surgeon Simulator, followed by the equally silly I Am Bread. It experimented with persistent online multiplayer with Worlds Adrift on PC, and currently has The Bradwell Conspiracy in...

News ActRaiser Spiritual Successor SolSeraph Announced for PS4
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. It's an interesting combination that made for a very unique title back at the start of the nineties, but it's one that hasn't been seen much since. Out of seemingly nowhere, SEGA has...

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. Due out on 26th September for the PlayStation 4, the reimagining will supposedly “instil more than 25 years of franchise pedigree” into a $39.99 package. It looks...

E3 2019 No More Heroes III Won't Touchdown on PS4
Not yet, anyway
No More Heroes III was one of the highlights from today’s E3 2019-themed Nintendo Direct, but it’s being billed as a Nintendo Switch exclusive – for now. Why are we posting this? Because spin-off title Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes was also advertised as an exclusive, but

E3 2019 Rotoscoped Visual Novel One Night Stand Gets Freaky on PS4
Slumber games
One Night Stand sees you wake naked in a stranger’s bed, and it’s down to you to figure out how you got there. Could we, perhaps, make a couple of suggestions? Oh, that’s age inappropriate? You’ll have to wait for the full game, then. On-the-nose premise aside, this rotoscoped indie from publisher Ratalaika Games and developer...

E3 2019 Roller Champions Is a Free to Play Sports Game from Ubisoft, Playable on PC Now
Get your skates on
After being outed ahead of E3 2019, Ubisoft has now confirmed the existence of Roller Champions. This is an arcadey mixture of rollerskater racing and, er, basketball? Sort of? Anyway, two teams of three go head to head in tight arenas. The rules are pretty straightforward; complete a lap of the circuit while possessing the ball,...

The Curious Tale of the Stolen Pets looks to be packing a bit more personality, and it’s due out this year for Sony’s headset. This is effectively an easy-going puzzle...
E3 2019 Arizona Sunshine Reloads with The Damned DLC in August
It, er, takes place in a dam
We weren’t overly keen on it, but Arizona Sunshine sure has a lot of fans – enough for developer Vertigo Games to continue supporting it with DLC packs.

E3 2019 Become the Horror Game Monster in Carrion, Emerges from the Darkness in 2020
Carrion my wayward, son
Announced as part of Devolver Digital's chaotic E3 2019 showcase, Carrion is a horror game in which you play the monster.

E3 2019 Spiritfarer Is a Magical Management Sim About Transporting the Dead
One last journey
Spiritfarer had the unfortunate task of following Keanu Reeves during Microsoft’s glitzy E3 2019 press conference yesterday, so you may be forgiven for not paying full attention to it.

E3 2019 Microsoft's New Xbox Console Project Scarlett Will Eat Monsters for Breakfast
Basically it's a PlayStation 5

E3 2019 From Software and George RR Martin's RPG Elden Ring Confirmed with First Trailer
Seems pretty armless
The long-rumoured collaboration between From Software and George R.R. Martin is real, everyone. Elden Ring has been confirmed, and it's got a typically moody debut trailer. Watch it above. It seems to be a little on the creepy side, but this looks like high fantasy through and through. We aren't much clearer than that on what...
E3 2019 Destroy All Humans Remake Announced, Invades PS4 in 2020
Not an alien concept
Well, there it is. Not long ago, rumours began to appear regarding a new Destroy All Humans title, but instead of a sequel, we're getting a remake.
