Poll What Review Score Would You Give Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown?
Prince or pauper?
Now that it's been out on PS5 and PS4 for about a week, we want to know what you think of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. The side-scrolling adventure got some really high review scores from critics, despite its obvious deviation from the more well-known Prince of Persia formula (but then it's been ages since the series' previous...
Poll Are You Playing The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered?
No returns
The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is out now on PS5, bringing the brutal PS4 adventure to Sony's current-gen console. The remaster features some (fairly minor, in the grand scheme of things) graphical upgrades, alongside a slew of extras, like an action-packed roguelike mode and behind-the-scenes content. Of course, the original game isn't...
Poll Are You Playing Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown?
Lost and found
It may not be the Prince of Persia revival that some fans wanted, but Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown seems to be kicking 2024's release schedule off with a bit of a bang. The action-platformer's been given high review scores across the board, and we want to know if you're sold on this new-look adventure. "Prince of Persia: The Lost...

Plus or minus?
Between the two tiers, PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium are getting 14 additional games this month. It's another sizable update for the service, but as always, we want to know what you think of the selection. At least from our perspective, Extra continues to bring a lot of variety to the PS Plus table. While not all of January's...
Poll Which Persona Game Has the Best Opening?
Now it's personal
Atlus revealed the opening for Persona 3 Reload earlier this week, and it's so good that it got us wondering: which Persona game has the best title sequence? In case you don't know, each game in the series typically introduces itself with an animated opening, featuring a unique song and some gorgeous artwork. There's no doubt...
Poll Which PS5 Games are You Buying in Early 2024's Ridiculous Release Schedule?
40 PS5 games up for grabs
2024 is upon us, and off the back of an amazing array of games in 2023, this year is serving up a lot of new releases over the next few months. Indeed, the period we're categorising as 'early 2024' (from now until the end of April) is packed with PS5 titles, and we want to know how you'll be spending your hard-earned money...
Poll Was 2023 One of the Best Ever Years for New Game Releases?
Games of the year
All throughout 2023, we saw plenty of people asking whether the year would go down as one of the best ever periods for new game releases. Indeed, it was an objectively stacked 12 months — and we're not even thinking about non-PlayStation platforms when we write that. Just to very quicky recap (in case you've already forgotten!),...
Game of the Year #1 - Marvel's Spider-Man 2
Arachnophilia
This year has been so stacked with brilliant games of all shapes and sizes, and so our number one Game of the Year slot was never a total certainty. As it so happened, the race for first place was incredibly close, with just one point in it, and the two games vying for victory couldn't be more different. Ultimately, though, the big,...
Game of the Year #2 - Baldur's Gate 3
A class act
For the many accolades Larian Studios' roleplaying epic, Baldur's Gate 3, has earned, the fact that it even exists is somehow still its most impressive accomplishment of all. Its predecessor, Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, was released almost a quarter of a century ago and is still considered one of the all-time genre greats. Not only...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for January 2024?
Plus or minus?
Okay we'll admit, we came very close to typing '2023' in that headline. But no, your eyes aren't deceiving you — it's time to pass judgment on a whole new year of monthly PS Plus games! And to get us started, January's lineup is made up of three intriguing PS5 and PS4 titles. The headline act has to be the highly rated A Plague...
Game of the Year #4 - Alan Wake 2
It's a spiral, not a circle
It's kind of funny having a sequel to a 13-year-old game, that didn't initially launch on PlayStation, make its way into the upper half of our top 10 - but that's what happens when said game is Alan Wake 2. Remedy's long-awaited sequel completely blew us away, earning one of the few 10 out of 10 ratings on the site this...
Game of the Year #6 - Street Fighter 6
Fighting fit
Well, this worked out perfectly, didn’t it? We’ve reached the sixth position on our Game of the Year list, and we’ve reserved it for, well, Street Fighter 6. Brilliant! But yes, while we should have all learned not to bet against Capcom at this point, there was still a little scepticism surrounding the fighter heading into its...
Game of the Year #7 - Lies of P
Sweet little lies
Lies of P is one of 2023's most pleasant surprises. It's a twisted take on the classic tale of Pinnochio, incorporating elements made famous by FromSoftware's Dark Souls series. Korean newcomer Neowiz Games knocked it out of the park with its debut, delivering some competent competition and the closest thing to a Bloodborne...
Game of the Year #8 - Dead Space
They're coming outta the walls
Coming in at number eight is Dead Space. This full PS5 remake kicked off 2023 with its January release, and honestly, we haven't stopped thinking about it since. With The Callisto Protocol launching just a month prior and sharing a lot of the same DNA, EA Motive wiped our memory of Johnny Protocol as it thrust us into...
Game of the Year #9 - Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turgle
Unless they're making the same sort of leap in quality as Assassin's Creed II did, sequels often struggle to drum up the same sort of excitement their predecessors did. A known quantity going into a second game, it's a common criticism Respawn Entertainment managed to avoid in a follow-up that's bigger and better in every...
Insect inside
Cocoon is one of those games that's hard to talk about without spoiling things, but it absolutely deserves a spot in our Game of the Year rundown, so we're gonna have to try. Spearheaded by Playdead alumnus Jeppe Carlsen, this excellent puzzle game carries much of that Limbo/Inside energy — reason enough alone you should pay...

Free for all
God of War Ragnarok's free DLC is out now on PS5 and PS4.

As we keep repeating, the first few months of 2024 are madness. There are a ridiculous...

Poll Are You Playing Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora?
Big blue
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has landed on PS5, offering up Ubisoft's open world take on the Avatar franchise. It's pretty much the last high profile release of 2023, and because of that, we're sure that a lot of people will be picking it up for the holidays. Are you one of them, though? We don't have an Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora review...

Talking Point Like Japanese Games? Early 2024 Is Going to Destroy You
Your wallet's already dead
We think 2024 is already shaping up to be another ridiculous year for gaming, but more specifically, early 2024 now looks utterly insane if you happen to enjoy Japanese games in particular. Now obviously, 'Japanese games' is an incredibly broad term, but Japanese publishers really do seem hellbent on releasing all of their...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for November 2023?
Plus or minus?
14 more games are coming to PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium next week, and we must admit, the selection seems rather scattershot. Generally speaking, previous Extra updates have included clear patterns. For example, there have been months where we've been given all the Yakuza games, or all the Star Ocean games, or all the...
Poll Are You Playing Persona 5 Tactica?
Strategically speaking
The Phantom Thieves are back yet again, only this time, they're testing their strategic skills in tactical RPG Persona 5 Tactica.

Poll What Will Win Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2023?
There can only be one

As is the case every year, the Game of the Year award is the most talked about category — but which title do you think will walk away...
Jump in
Sony's dedicated remote play device, the PlayStation Portal — or PS Portal for short — is out now.

It's fair to say that the Portal won't appeal to everyone, but for those who want to continue playing their PS5 games when the...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Like a Dragon Gaiden?
The glorious return of Kazuma Kiryu
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name has been out for a week now on PS5 and PS4.

We...
Feature Celebrating 10 Years of PS4 with Our Favourite Games
The best of the best
The PS4 is officially ten years old. We've had a whole decade of Sony's last-gen console, and if you can believe it, games are still being released on the bloody thing. But we're not here to complain — we want to take this opportunity to celebrate a fantastic system. There's no doubt about it, the PS4 has an outstanding...
Poll Are You Buying a PS5 'Slim'?
Slimmer down
With the new PS5 model now available for purchase in the US — with other regions likely to follow in the very near future — we think it's time to ask whether you plan on picking up the PS5 'Slim'. For those who already own a PS5, this is probably an unnecessary expense. Aside from being a bit smaller and having slightly expanded...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Star Ocean The Second Story R?
Star crossed
Considered by many to be one of, if not the best game in the series, PS1 and PSP classic Star Ocean The Second Story was revived last week in a very well received fashion. Star Ocean The Second Story R is a remake of the beloved RPG, bringing modern sensibilities to an old school adventure. We awarded it a 'great' 8/10 in our rather...

Poll Are You Playing Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name?
Erase this
Out now on PS5 and PS4, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is yet another chapter in the (ongoing) saga of Kazuma Kiryu.

We really enjoyed this...

Step into the light
It's been a long time coming, but Alan Wake 2 is actually here. The survival horror sequel promises a crazy level of cinematic quality, coupled with intense psychological scares.

Poll Do You Like Metal Gear Solid Delta's New Graphical Style?
Let's delta
Konami unveiled official in-engine footage of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater earlier this week, in a bid to show off the remake's technically impressive visuals.
