Apologies for the slightly laboured pun in the title, but whatever. We’ve just found out that probably the most obscure entry in the Assassin’s Creed series is to be polished up and re-released for Xbox One and PS4. The game in question is Assassin’s Creed Rogue. Whether you remember it or not probably depends on […]
It’s difficult to argue that Sony hasn’t outperformed Microsoft this console generation with Xbox One lagging behind PS4 in terms of sales and players, but there is something that PS4 players are missing out on, and that’s early access gaming. Never has that been more relevant than now, with the phenomenon that is PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds […]
It was all the way back in 2005 that Microsoft introduced the concept of Achievements built into games, with Sony following suit and calling them Trophies. It gives players another way to compete with friends online, and can help to add some longevity to games if you’re prepared to go grind out those tougher challenges. […]
We hope you had wonderful and new year, and that you’ve suitably recovered from the all the over-eating, drinking and family fun, and now we’ve got a whole new year of awesome games to look forward to. If you have a wad of Christmas money burning a hole in your pocket, it’s here’s what’s coming […]
Much has been written on the subject of publishers phasing out single-player games in favour of the greater money-generating potential of multiplayer. Thankfully there’s no sign of it actually happening with some amazing titles released this year, and now this brilliant expansion to the awesome PS4 exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn. If you’re a PS4 owner […]
We’ve had the chance to muck about on the Xbox One X at last, and it is indeed the most powerful games console on the market, only losing out to top end gaming PCs in the horsepower stakes. We’ll get the verdict out of the way right away – if you’re a serious gamer then […]
There’s been plenty of furore over loot boxes lately, but something even more sinister and underhand involving Activision recently came to light. The company has been granted a patent on match-making software which can be used to deliberately match players up against players with superior equipment or in-game items. Put simply, if you’re a new […]
It will make some people feel very old to learn that Grand Theft Auto is 20 years old. Fun though it was, few would have imagined that that the top down original – created by Dave Jones, the man behind Lemmings – would go on to become one of the biggest franchises in main stream […]
There’s been plenty of furore recently regarding the sudden proliferation of loot boxes in major games. We moaned about it last week, and since then it’s been confirmed that player progress in Battlefront 2 will be entirely based around loot box transactions rather than in game achievements. EA got plenty of good press when it […]
