November is obviously notable for marking the release of next-gen consoles obviously, so it’s also our first opportunity to see how PS Plus titles on PlayStation 5 will be handled going forward, too. Something tells...
Well, well, well… It’s here. We’ve made it. November 2020 is not only a month stacked with huge video game releases, but it is in fact the month responsible for kicking off the next generation of consoles. And as you might imagine, this means that November is stacked with Triple-A releases to sink your teeth...
Sure, it hasn’t been that long since subscribers to Xbox Game Pass were given the ability to rip and tear their way through hell by way of 2020’s Doom Eternal, but already Microsoft has outlined the next batch of games arriving on its streaming service soon. Said games become available as early as tomorrow, though...
The next console generation is now just around the corner, meaning that those who have secured their Xbox Series S|X pre-order will likely be wondering what games will be playable on day one.

Unofficial PS5 faceplates are already a thing, thanks to this third-party manufacturerThe PlayStation 5’s UK release is now less than a month away, which has seemingly inspired some third-party accessories manufacturers to make a play for people’s money. The seller in question is the aptly named PlateStation 5, who has already begun listing unofficial customizable...
Imagine my surprise when I discovered that it had been a staggering five years between the release of this and the previous Transformers game. Because although they’re by no means limited to them, these robots in disguise have been the subject of many video game tie-ins throughout the years - with varying results at best....
It's hard to jump into Pumpkin Jack and not think of MediEvil. More specifically the remake from last year, which did such a good job at maintaining the spirit of the PS One original and bringing it up to date with all-new graphics. But while Pumpkin Jack might take heavy inspiration from the 1998 cult...
Graphics aren’t everything in a game but a wildly engaging art style goes a long way, with the indie scene constantly impressing through experimental colour palettes and character designs that simply don’t look like anything you’ll likely see from a major Triple-A studio. 9 Monkeys of Shaolin is a new side-scrolling beat-em-up proving this sentiment...
Ever since first announcing the PlayStation 5 would be releasing in the UK this November, prospective purchasers have been left scratching their heads as to how certain functions of the console will work. One of the biggest examples of this is the case of backwards compatibility, but we do thankfully now know that up to...
Despite series creator Ed Boon reiterating that Aftermath would be the final incarnation of MK11 and that “Mileena won’t be coming”, today’s announcement saw developer NetherRealm go back on both those claims with the announcement of Mortal Kombat 11. The definitive version of the gruesome fighter, it includes the base game, Kombat Pack 1, the...
Never has a video game sequel received a more apt subtitle than Crash Bandicoot 4. Because while 2018's N. Sane Trilogy served as a nice reminder of how charming (and sometimes infinitely frustrating) the marsupial's original three outings could be, it is indeed “about time” this spin-powered 90s icon received the modernisation he deserves. Luckily,...

The Xbox Series X will retail for £449, the Xbox Series...

Original Post: Only in the games industry could we get as many Xbox Series S leaks as this and still have Microsoft not...
Ever since The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt released back in 2015, it seems like games have been a little gun-shy to tackle the high fantasy genre. Sprawling open-world RPGs of this style, in which you get to traverse and potentially save the land from evil forces, simply aren’t popular as they once were – but...
Nintendo surprised everyone with a new Mario themed Nintendo Direct today, announcing a flurry of games coming to Nintendo Switch soon.
Despite having scheduled a 50-minute digital showcase in honour of Tokyo Game Show later this month, Microsoft higher-ups has told viewers not to except any news about its upcoming next-gen console. This essentially means that we won’t be getting any further details regarding the Xbox Series X’s price or release date before September 24th 2020....
On paper, Ary and the Secret of Seasons seems like a winning formula. Plucky young protagonist full of charm and wonder? Check. Magical setting with a fresh take on the fantasy concept? You bet. Then finally, and perhaps most importantly, a cool central hook for gameplay to help provide a unique take on action and...
Being a gamer at present means having a great deal of patience. We’re now almost three months away from when both the Xbox Series X and PS5 are expected to release, yet neither platform-holder seemingly wants to confirm this is the case.

The official price for the Xbox Series X is yet to be revealed, but that doesn’t mean that one can speculate what Xbox Series X bundles will be available at launch.

We know, we know. The PS5 isn’t even out yet but believe it or not, it’s already worth thinking about what PlayStation 5 bundle might be best for you.

The original Destroy All Humans! released in 2005 was notable for just how different it felt at the time.

Having already tantalised us with a look at some third-party Xbox Series X games back in May, Microsoft has now finally set a date for its next digital event that promises to give players a good look at the Xbox Series X’s roster of first-party exclusives. It announced as much by way of a tweet...
The continuing pandemic has led to a lot of changes in the video game industry this year, but one of the biggest is in the absence of a singular ‘E3-style’ event where major announcements and reveals occur within a week or so. Rather, a lot of publishers have instead been hosting their own events, and...
After revealing a slew of new titles coming to Xbox Game Pass last week, Microsoft is kicking off the month of July in style by announcing even more blockbuster titles imminently coming to the game-streaming subscription service.

Lockdown may have now lifted in the UK for the most part, but that hasn’t stopped Ubisoft from giving players a way to safely stay indoors while undertaking a grand adventure.

The Pokémon Company held an insightful, albeit brief video presentation earlier today where it revealed that a new entry in the Pokémon Snap spin-off series is being worked on. Aptly titled New Pokémon Snap, this sequel to the cult classic GameCube original will once again challenge players to photograph as many Pokémon as possible –...
Though the Desperados series has been around since 2001, it’s still incredibly fascinating to think that the shooting, looting antics of cowboys blend so well with real-time strategy and stealth. This latest entry, Desperados III, proves this yet again despite having changed developer hands and making a bold return after a 13-year hiatus. Luckily, this...

Playing through The Outer Worlds is like finally scratching an itch you never knew existed before. A Fallout-esque RPG from the series’ original creators?

Isle of Armor is the first half of the...
It’s wouldn’t be hyperbolic to say that, even over a decade since the series debuted, there’s still no other first-person shooter that plays quite like Borderlands. An anarchic mix of Mad Max’s ravaged world and Diablo’s addicting loot-driven gameplay, it’s the prime example of what a ‘looter-shooter’ can achieve when it doesn’t take itself too...

While recently it’s often felt like triple-A publishers have been biding their time during the first half of 2020, June is the month where things get serious for pretty much every console platform. Not only does it see cult classic games faithfully restored (a running theme for this year), but you have publishers like Sony...
As well as granting us with a slew of remasters and remakes, 2020 also appears to be the year where established franchises have decided to change tack and move to a top-down perspective. First there was Darksiders Genesis’s release on home consoles. Then Gears Tactics on PC. And now you have Minecraft Dungeons for PS4,...
Comparing Saints Row to GTA is kind of like comparing a Porsche to a Ford Ka. Sure, they’re similar in that both ostensibly deliver the same core experience, but one always feels significantly more premium than the other. Saints Row: The Third saw the sandbox series lean into these wacky eccentricities more than ever, looking...
While its main competitor Microsoft has been all too happy to discuss Xbox Series X out in the open, Sony has remained surprisingly quiet when it comes to PS5. We know that it’ll be arriving some time in holiday 2020, but so far, any information we’ve learned has come in dribs and drabs. Well, a...
While some people claim that PSVR doesn’t have any good games, those who own one know that this simply isn’t the case.

Game Review: The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners | Console deals blog
The ongoing pandemic has led video game developers and the publishers behind them to think out of the box when it comes to promoting their games over the summer period.

There are several reasons why players should be excited about Xbox Series X’s arrival this Holiday 2020. But arguably one of the biggest is the promise of what Microsoft has dubbed “Smart Delivery”.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Xbox Game Pass is currently one of the best deals in gaming. Not only because members gain instant access to a rotating library of 100 games, but because several new ones come to the service throughout the month – as was evidenced over on the official...
A few days ago we received word that Xbox would be holding a pretty substantial digital event with the intention to show us some Xbox Series X games. “The Xbox Game Studios teams are hard at work on some big summer plans”, a Microsoft spokesperson said. And while we won’t get a good look at...
The end of the month means it’s almost time for the next crop of Games with Gold and PS Plus games to be released. And with the world still currently on lockdown, there’s arguably never been a better time to make the most of your online membership. Luckily, May seems to be yet another solid...
If you were to ask any Gears of War fan what they wanted to see next from the franchise, I doubt many would be frothing at the mouth for a turn-based tactics game in the style of XCOM. It’s a testament, then, that by taking this longstanding Xbox franchise into a more strategic direction (and...
With more people being advised to stay at home these days, there’s seemingly no better time to lose yourself with a deep and exciting video game world.

While it’s a little strange to see Microsoft still releasing new Xbox One bundles given the looming shadow of Xbox Series X, the latest one on the scene is themed all around Roblox.
