Does it have anyone from The Bill in it? That's my new interactive movie requirement.

Just picked up a copy of GT2. That's basically the same thing right?

Personal I enjoyed the combat in Alan Wake far more than in Uncharted or The Last of Us. This feels like a very harsh review to me as I recently played through the original game on Xbox One and absolutely loved it. I actually finished it, which I can't say for several of the highly rated Sony exclusive cinematic action games which sit unfinished on my PS3 and PS4 consoles.

This has all given me a good laugh. There's a crowd shot going round that is frankly terrifying. And we thought Cyberpunk released in a sorry state! At least this one is free...

While HCT is clearly very much aimed at me I found it a surprisingly empty experience and quickly drifted away from it. I could never quite put my finger on what it was that was missing for me though. That said, this expansion looks great, so I may just pick it up.

I've said it before, but I will say it again... These articles need the games and prices in a table like on Pure Xbox and NintendoLife.

@Futureshark A lady at a bus stop outside Victoria Station in London once asked me which route she could take to get to Paris!

A few other good deals I spotted:

Doom 3 VR - £7.99
Statik - £3.59
Star Wars Pinball VR - £14.99 (only a 25% saving but still a good amount of content for your money)

Steam Deck can legally play GTA San Andreas. And GTA 1, 2, III, Vice City, IV and V.

And Soul Reaver 2 and Legacy of Kain: Defiance as mentioned above. Both are currently 69p each on Steam in fact.

The problem with this game is that I keep thinking it's a reference to some big controversy. The fallout from some big breakup scandal.

@Flaming_Kaiser Oh right, 512GB.

@Flaming_Kaiser Don't know about the dollar price, but they're £249 in the UK.

It's nuts that you can add 1TB of storage to your PS5 or buy an Xbox Series S for not much more!

It's hard to resist a game where one of the Pros is "Possessed Jim Carver"!

Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection is a bargain at £8.74 for 7 games (I, II, III, IV and three versions of V, including a brand new one).

Sony is having a giraffe with those UK PS5 prices!

Fire Pro Wrestling World on PS4 is great and has a wealth of content if you get the full package.

I was keeping an eye on RetroMania Wrestling but I haven't bitten on that one yet. Will check this one out now to see which looks better.

@SoulChimera I can enjoy a stupid and janky game if it's just good fun. Does Terminator require stealth though? I watched a video on YouTube that made it look like you needed to employ stealth tactics and I'm really not a fan of stealth in games.

I do wonder how some people actually find the time to play games!

I wish you guys put notable deals into a table like Pure Xbox and NintendoLife do, rather than writing them into a paragraph. My brain needs a list of game names and then their prices to the right of the names, I get lost otherwise!

Good review, but I wish you guys wouldn't review PS4 Games on a PS5. I'm not against a note in a PS4 review saying something like "we found the frame rate improved when played on a PS5", but I think a PS4 game should be reviewed on a PS4 or PS4 Pro. There are a LOT more PS4s out there than there are PS5s.

Lisa: "Eww, Dad, this is blood!"

Homer: "Correction: Free blood!"

@huyi That hasn't really been an issue I've suffered with personally.

"the biggest problem with PSVR has always been the sheer number of them required to use the headset"

Completely disagree. The cables between the PSVR box and PS4 are in my equipment stand and don't bother me at all. I'd say the issues with PSVR in order of importance are:

1. Lack of analogue sticks on Move controllers
2. Resolution is too low
3. Headset having a cable attached can be distracting and often gets caught up with me.
4. Headset is quite bulky and can get a bit hot and sweaty after prolonged periods of play.

Some film and game franchises have had slow starts and then gone on to great success after building a big audience over time. How well a new IP sold at launch shouldn't be the main barometer for whether it gets a sequel, how well it has done over time and how big a community it has generated should be. His complaint is rather silly. I get it for sequels - if people don't buy #2 at full price then they shouldn't complain about a lack of a #3 - but you can't criticise people for taking time to discover a new IP. And slagging off lots of people who love your game isn't the best way to convince them to support your next effort.

I'd love a good single player pirate game. Will keep an eye on this one.

Yeah, I get not wanting to use PC compatible cards to avoid hacks, but Sony should have taken a hit financially on the cards if they had to, rather than making them ridiculously expensive. I love my Vita but always felt like Sony gave up on it right at the beginning.

I like multiple licensed games for one sport. Back in the 90s and early 00s I thought the competition drove up the quality. Nice to have all the tournaments available in one place too though...

Play the 360 version on Xbone regularly. Classic fighting game.

It's really not that complicated or time consuming to set up. I moved mine from one room to another recently and it took about 2 minutes. Leave it setup and it take 0 minutes. It's a lot less effort than typing this article must have been!

I've spent the weekend playing Pistol Whip on PSVR. Can't believe the Iron Man game beat it to PSVR game of the year last year. Absolutely brilliant game.

Journos do love a new buzz word! The main headline feature here should be that they have analogue sticks. Haptic feedback and adaptive triggers are nice to have, but adding an analogue stick was essential.

I nearly bought Rez on sale for £12.49 recently and have been eyeing up Paper Beast and The Witness too, so this is fantastic!

Happy 40th birthday Falcom! This was released as part of their 40th anniversary stream today. I love the Ys series but have never played a Trails game. I've wanted to get into the series for years, but there are so many games, they're all really long and I just don't have enough time. Maybe one day...

Finally, a reason to get the Aim Controller out of the cupboard! Love DOOM 3, so will definitely pick this up.

Nice! I love my PSVR and will definitely upgrade when I eventually get round to getting a PS5.

As for new controllers, I'm less bothered about haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, I just want analogue sticks on the motion controllers!

Well, I picked this up last night and have been absolutely loving it. Really great 'just one more go' arcade fun that works perfectly in VR (as with Minter's other PSVR games).

Polybius is one of my favourite PSVR games and Minotaur Arcade Vol.1 is great too. I saw this had come to Steam a while back and was hoping it would arrive on PS4. Now where's my wallet...

I just want Plants vs Zombies in FX 3! Man, I loved that table.

I love PSPrices. Other thing to note is that it covers Switch and Xbox games too, so you can manage your wishlists all in one place and get email updates for all systems when games go on sale.

Hilariously, this article has a huge Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox advert behind it for me. It's also fittingly one using the tag 'ERROR REBOOT_REQUIRED//'.

Pay more to spend less time with our game!

This site described the performance on PS4 Pro as OK. As a PS4 Pro owner who doesn't plan on getting a next gen console for some time, I'm glad they released it on PS4. I do wonder if they would have bothered had the One X and Pro not existed though...

To people suggesting it was built for PS4... It was built for PC. Then converted.

My white PS4 Pro is in a place where I can't get my face in front of it and I frequently forget both where the disc drive is located and where the front buttons on it are! None of it is exactly easy to see and I rarely play games off disc or use the front panel controls, so it is easy to forget!

@naruball Where my analogy falls down though is that the creators of the Souls games don't want to put in easy options as they see the challenge as the point. So in this case, no one should ban them from releasing the game in the form they want.

@TG16_IS_BAE You're less likely to lose toes playing games though!

I'm not particularly good at games, and don't have the time these days to try over and over and over again until I win... However, I have no problem with a game choosing to be hard and not offer an easy option. Climbing mount everest is incredibly difficult and that's the point, not the view from the top. You can take a helicopter ride past the summit but you won't feel the same a week later as the people who climbed it do.

Is that Patrick Swayze?

@GREGORIAN To be fair, I didn't say quick save was a great feature, the point I was making was that it is an accepted feature by the majority of gamers and would, I am sure, draw lots of complaints if it was removed. All the games I have played recently quick save regularly but also allow for manual saves if the user wishes to (which I often use). This is by far and away the best setup in my eyes as it gives you the best of both worlds. Personally I'm not keen on saving in the middle of a battle/boss fight as it feels a bit like cheating but I'm all for more options so that everyone can be happy. What I really need is the ability to stop my game in the middle of a battle when my real life comes calling. Sometimes I am then denied the ability to resume playing that day and the option to power off my console fully without losing any progress seems good for my electricity bill and the environment.

I am sure that some people will never use this kind of feature, but I can't see how anyone literally can't think of a single reason why anyone would need/want to, which some comments here suggest.

Yeah, anyone who says this is completely pointless or useless can't have a family. It is rare these days that I finish playing out of choice rather than interruption. Even if just from an eco perspective this allows you to suspend your game at any point (not a save point/checkpoint) and then fully turn the console off to save power.

I suspect that one day we will look back on this feature in the same way we do auto saving rather than menu driven saving.
