News Fantasy MMO Wander Looks to Be the PS4's Most Relaxing Game
Combat-free zone
You wake up on an island, with no idea how you got there, or indeed who you are – this is the slightly predictable premise behind PlayStation 4 fantasy MMO Wander, which is planned to release in March next year.

News The Banner Saga Headlines Fresh Selection of PS4 Indie Games
Game genie
Ever since it started to submerge itself in the world of indie games, Sony has developed a habit of announcing dozens of titles in one swift swoop.

News Sketchcross for PS Vita Looks Like a Game You May Already Like
Picture perfect
Innovation is overrated. Alright, maybe that’s a bit too much – but, look, sometimes there’s comfort to be found in things that are familiar. It’s the reason that associate editor Robert Ramsey rarely eats anything other than Margherita pizza, for example – and also why this author has been wearing the same tracksuit...

Vader go
Battlefield developer DICE’s long-awaited Star Wars: Battlefront reboot will steer its X-Wing onto the PlayStation 4 next holiday, publisher EA Games has announced.

The title, which is a...
News Survival Horror Outlast Resurges with Spooky Sequel
Time to stock up on batteries
This particular editor got around to playing all of Outlast this week, and can testify that the terrifying thrills that it affords are real and often experienced while sneaking through Mount Massive Asylum's many horrors.

News Psyonix Targets the Top of the Rocket League
Rocket power
What is better than football, we hear you cry? Well, football with rocket-powered cars, of course. That's the basic premise of the fast-paced, action sports game Rocket League, currently ambiguously announced for "consoles" in Spring 2015. Coming a little while after the launch of Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, we're...

News OlliOlli 2 Brings Skateboarding Shenanigans to PS4 and Vita in 2015
This is not a drill
OlliOlli is one of the PlayStation Vita's hidden gems; a game so infectiously addictive that it should probably be outlawed. So with this in mind, we're delighted - if slightly concerned - to report that the indie darling will be receiving a sequel. Set to launch on PlayStation 4 and Vita in March 2015, the game is officially...

TGS 2014 Type-0 Companion Final Fantasy Agito Is Coming to PS Vita
Still no Type-0
When poor little Final Fantasy Agito was announced for smartphones and tablets, it was vastly ignored in the West, mainly because of its purpose as a prequel and companion game to the unreleased Final Fantasy Type-0. To add to the PlayStation 4 port announcement of the former PSP exclusive title, however, Square Enix has announced...
News SteamWorld Dig's Successor Plots a Steamy Smash and Grab
Heist to see you
Following the release of the immensely popular SteamWorld Dig on the PlayStation 4 and Vita, entertaining Swedish outfit Image & Form has been busy beavering away on the title’s natural successor: SteamWorld Heist.

A Loki affair
Sony has recently announced a superhero themed re-release of the popular title LittleBigPlanet PS Vita, appropriately titled LittleBigPlanet PS Vita: Marvel Super Hero Edition.

News Sony Attempts to Lure The Female Market with a Light Pink PS Vita
Here come the girls

News Control The Tides of Battle With Bladestorm: The Hundred Year War & Nightmare on PS4
You and what army
We've heard fans voice their complaints on the forums that there aren't enough real time strategy games on the PlayStation 4, and it seems Koei Tecmo was thinking the same thing with the announcement of Bladestorm: The Hundred Year War and Nightmare.

The E3 afterparty turns sour
While there may not have been a Resident Evil 7 announcement at the pre-Tokyo Game Show conference, it didn't mean that we weren't getting some new horrific Biohazard action to join the HD remake of the original. Resident Evil Revelations 2 will be launching on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStati

News Puyo Puyo Tetris to Clear Screens on PS4 in Japan
