Review Mortal Shell - A Souls-Like for Hardened Veterans
The Stone Roses
All forms of art take inspiration from that which came before, but those that do must reflect on those forms and develop upon them to stand out. Done well, it can lead to even more interesting forms of art. Many have tried this in the Souls-like sub-genre of games, which has spewed out an increasing number of similar titles in recent...
News Mortal Shell Scratches Your Dark Souls Itch, Er, This Month
Out in just over a week
Deathly gloomy Dark Souls-inspired action role-playing game Mortal Shell will start using its stamina from 18th August, and there’s a disgustingly macabre trailer to celebrate the fact above.

Mini Review Doctor Who: The Edge of Time - A PSVR Game Only Whovians Could Love
Wibbly wobbly timey wimey
It's always felt like BBC's campy sci-fi show should be a home run in video games, but it's rarely translated well to an interactive format. PlayStation VR adventure Doctor Who: The Edge of Time is an effort to change that, but it's ultimately a bit flat, leaning a little too heavily on fan-pleasing moments instead of...
News Doctor Who: The Edge of Time Brings a Dalek Invasion to PSVR This November

Doctor Who: The Edge of Time has confirmed that the TARDIS will come to PSVR's rescue next month on 12th November...

News Pilot the TARDIS in Doctor Who: The Edge of Time, Coming to PSVR in 2019
About time
Doctor Who has had a pretty rocky relationship with video games. The most recent on PlayStation was 2011's Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock, and it was a pretty big disappointment. However, with refreshed interest in the storied sci-fi series, mostly thanks to Jodie Whittaker, it makes sense to revisit the idea. Doctor Who: The Edge of Time...
