Take aim
The Concord beta is now open to everyone over the weekend, across both PS5 and PC.

News Play C-Smash VRS in Pancake Mode on PS5 from 26th September
Dreams cast
Back when Cosmic Smash launched on Dreamcast in 2001, it was a traditional arcade-style tennis title you played with a controller. Wolf & Wood reimagined the release for PSVR2 last year as C-Smash VRS, using motion controls and a first-person perspective to make for a more expressive experience. We loved it, but not everyone has...

It lives again

News We Find This PS5 Wishlist Issue Irrationally Irksome
Is it discounted or not?
While it’s overwhelmingly a great console, there are no shortage of small irritations which detract from the overall PS5 experience. One that’s been irking this author irrationally for months now is how the wishlist displays discounts. It really shouldn’t be a difficult concept: if you’ve flagged a game as one...
Mini Review Asphalt Legends Unite (PS5) - Over-the-Top Arcade Racer Serves Up Some Free Fun
Simple and silly
The era of outrageous arcade racers is all but dead these days. The likes of Forza Horizon and The Crew Motorfest have picked up the mantle, but we miss the days of sliding our Ferrari F50s around corners at right-angles, with retina burning SEGA blue skies and pumping c*ck rock providing the perfect backdrop. It’d be a criminal...
News There's Already Concern Over Concord's Player Count as Open Beta Begins
Shoot to kill
Concord's open beta begins today (that's the 18th July) on PS5 and PC, welcoming anyone and everyone into the hero-shooter fray. But this celebratory moment is in danger of being overshadowed by talk of the game's player count. Indeed, the previous early access beta — which ran from the 12th July to the 14th July — reportedly...

Devs creating "dream sequel"

It's confirmed for both PS5 and PS4, and...

News Only Two New PS5 Titles Infiltrated the European Top Ten for the First Half of 2024
Older releases round out the list
Here’s a reminder that most people are perfectly content buying and playing older games on their spangly new systems: only two new PS5 titles released in 2024 managed to make the year’s top ten so far. That’s right, despite Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Tekken 8, Stellar Blade, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and...
News PS5 Simply Can't Match the Pace of 2023 in Europe
But holding steady
For the first half of 2024, sales of PS5 are down 16 per cent year-over-year. While this may sound like cause for concern, it’s worth noting it’s still comfortably the region’s best-selling console, and it’s competing with a particularly fruitful period. In the early months of 2023, Sony widely promoted the platform’s...
News WWE Wrestlers Team Up in Warzone, Modern Warfare 3 Season 5 Update
Rhea Ripley! Cody Rhodes! Rey Mysterio!

Punters can opt for either a standard or Ultimate Edition of the game, allowing those willing to pay extra access a little earlier, from 20th September. If you can't contain yourself, pre-orders are open now,...
News Dragon Age: The Veilguard Not the 'Right Game' for 'Nasty' Blood Magic
Keep your evil bottled up within
RPGs often feature a morality system, allowing players to dictate how their chosen character will interact with a given game world, ranging from relatively black-and-white to endlessly crushing, grimdark grey (we're looking squarely at you, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader). How BioWare's upcoming Dragon Age: The...
News Amazon's Excellent Fallout TV Adaptation Up for 16 Emmy Awards
Critical hit
Fans and critics alike went equally feral for Amazon's adaptation of the legendary WRPG franchise, Fallout. The series managed to break through to mainstream audiences outside the realm of games, garnering significant industry attention and, subsequently, has been nominated for no less than 16 Emmy awards, including Best Actor and...
News Kingdom Come: Deliverance Dev Honours Decade-Old Kickstarter Pledge
Select backers will get the sequel for free
Warhorse Studios is currently hard at work putting the finishing touches into its eagerly-anticipated sequel, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, but like humble protagonist Henry of Skallitz himself, the developer hasn't forgotten its roots. Starting as something of an internet rumour, it has since been...
News Next Ryu Ga Gotoku Game to Be Revealed at Tokyo Game Show 2024
We love surprises
The next game from Yakuza / Like a Dragon developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio will be revealed at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show in September.

News Yeah! You Want 'Those Games', Right? Well Good, 'Cos There's a PS5, PS4 Sequel
More minigames you definitely wanted
We’ve all seen them: the totally fake mobile game ads that are strangely engrossing. The titles never turn out to be as good as the commercials, but one industrious developer has taken it upon itself to actually make them. That’s how Yeah! You Want ‘Those Games’, Right? So Here You Go! Now, Let’s See...

News BioWare Will 'Finally' Return to Its Roots with Dragon Age: The Veilguard's Storytelling
Golden Age
There's a crystal clear emphasis on character-driven storytelling in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. From the actual name of the game through to the (admittedly terrible) reveal trailer, and then the fairly promising gameplay demonstration, The Veilguard's party members are in the spotlight. And this is exactly what BioWare should be doing,...
News Check Out a Full 10 Minute Star Wars Outlaws Quest on PS5
New footage no longer outlawed
As part of its IGN First promotional period, ten more minutes of Star Wars Outlaws have been published online. In this clip, protagonist Kay Vess is tasked with finding a sarlacc tooth, so she seeks out one of the giant creatures in the desert and heads inside. Unfortunately, her hard work uncovering the enormous fang...
Interview Learning All About The Precinct, PS5's Super Promising Sandbox Cop Game
Have a seat
We've been keeping an eye on The Precinct for a while now. It's an indie game where you play as a cop, fighting crime on the streets of a sandbox city. It's always sounded like a really cool concept to us, and so we caught up with Lewis Boadle — the title's art director and co-founder of developer Fallen Tree Games. We asked Lewis...
Preview EA Sports FC 25 Promises a Different Kind of Rush on PS5, PS4
Here we go
EA Sports FC 24’s transition away from FIFA did no harm to the Redwood juggernaut’s flagship football franchise, and you could argue the rebranding itself actually helped re-engage former fans who had previously fallen off. However, while the on-pitch action itself was fine, it wasn’t the revolution we were hoping for, delivering a...
News Free-to-Play Phenomenon Genshin Impact Gets Its Own PS5 Console Bundle in Japan
Impact
PlayStation has a long history of bundling its consoles with blockbuster games, and it's certainly not afraid of releasing region-specific bundles that are designed to appeal directly to key markets. For example, it's partnered with EA Sports on a bunch of European packages in the past, shipping the PS4 with select FIFA titles. It's...
News PS5 Police Sandbox The Precinct Gets Hit with a Delay into Fall 2024
Stop right there
The Precinct, the very promising police-based indie we've reported on a few times now, has been pushed back from its previously announced 15th August release date. The PS5-bound title is now targeting a less specific autumn / fall launch, with developer Fallen Tree Games offering an explanation through the game's Steam page. "This...
News Hey Jude! England and Real Madrid's Bellingham Fronts EA Sports FC 25
Na na na nananana
EA Sports has perhaps realised that having a human potato as its cover star is not best for business. The publisher has therefore swapped out Manchester City’s Erling Haaland for Real Madrid’s much more agreeable Jude Bellingham with EA Sports FC 25. The boy from Birmingham has enjoyed a rapid rise to stardom, initially...
