Review ReadySet Heroes - Fundamental Flaws Betray a Novel Twist on Multiplayer Dungeon Crawling
Party animals
ReadySet Heroes, the dungeon crawling party game from Robot Entertainment, arrived two weeks ago, but doesn't seem to be as prepared as its title implies. As of right now, the game just isn't up to scratch, with some glaring issues betraying its interesting ideas. There are just two modes of play. Crawl n' Brawl has up to four players...
Random Untitled Goose Game Infiltrates Metal Gear Solid in Incredible Dreams Creation
Honk honk!
The creations coming out of Dreams just keep on getting better and better. That pesky goose from Untitled Goose Game is the next popular character to feature in a video game mashup only made possible by the upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive, and it has decided to take the place of Solid Snake and infiltrate Shadow Moses itself. The video...
Major expansions and smaller DLC
Developer CD Projekt Red has already promised that Cyberpunk 2077 will be a "whole, full value game" at launch, but following its phenomenal support of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt after the game released, we can't help but wonder what we'll get to experience after the base game has shipped. Thankfully, it looks set to...

Linked to Demon's Souls
We all thought we were gearing up for full PlayStation 4 backwards compatibility with the PS5 a few months ago, but after a vague statement from Sony suggested that it's possible not every current-gen game will work on Sony's next system, we started to have some concerns. However, while it's in no way confirmation of...

News PS4 Community Helps Out House Fire Victim Whose Console Was Damaged in the Blaze
Reddit rescue
Reddit user SmokeinPeace2516 was eating in his dining room a few days ago when a fire broke out on the floor above.

News Japan's Incredible Persona 5 Royal PS4 Theme Has Stolen Our Hearts
Royalty

Shown off in the video that we've embedded above, this incredible looking theme is an Amazon Japan exclusive pre-order bonus for Persona 5 Royal, which launches in Japan at the end of the month. It features one of...
News Death Stranding PS4 Pre-Orders in the UK Can Get a Cool Alternative Cover
Higgs variant available now
We kinda like the standard Death Stranding box art, but a fair amount of fans have made it clear it's not what they want. The strange PlayStation 4 game from Kojima Productions is looking utterly bizarre, but by comparison, the key artwork adorning the box is pretty tame. However, did you know that there's an alternate...
Review Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince - Gorgeous Puzzle Platformer Is a Return to Form
Saving the kingdom, one floating box at a time
The first two games in Frozenbyte’s Trine series were whimsical 2D puzzle platformers. A third title, Artifacts of Power, switched to 3D and offered a shorter adventure that left some fans cold. Trine 4 throws away that extra dimension, and feels much more like the series at its best. Returning...

Partnership reaffirmed for new project
The Hitman franchise has swapped hands a bit over the years.

Random Fanmade PS5 Boot Up Screen Is the Perfect Use of Nostalgia
PSone x PS5
Has Sony ever managed to do better than its original PSone boot up sequence? Those visuals and the audio that accompanies them are firmly planted in our own brains, becoming a part of childhood memories for many.

News Souls Director Miyazaki Says Making Bloodborne 2 Isn't His Call
Sony, we're waiting
Ah, the ever elusive Bloodborne 2. Will it ever get made? Does it already exist in some early form? We don't know, but we do know that the internet loves spreading rumours about it.

Don’t forget your quarters
The arcade style shmup’s been around for a long time now. Space Invaders is nearly 50 years old, and Galaga isn’t far behind. To say that the gameplay ideas for the genre have been perfected at this point would be an understatement. How do you add something new to that? Enter Habroxia, which plays more or less like...

Random Pepsiman on PS4 Is Probably Too Good to Be True
Hey, let's start the game!
Remember when big brands would try and win over the kids with terrible licensed video games? One of the most notorious is Pepsiman, a PSone action game from 1998 based on the cola soft drink. It only released in Japan and was extremely low budget, but that hasn't stopped it from being a beloved, if obscure, cult favourite...
