Read MoreDeath Stranding on Xbox – A Hint at our Multiplat Future
Death Stranding has shadow dropped on Xbox today at the immensely affordable price of £17.50. Buy it. It’s awesome. It’s also an interesting look at things to come. The biggest PlayStation fans are going to quickly point out that this isn’t a big deal. It’s five years old, they’ll say. Besides, Kojima has bought the rights back, so Death Stranding isn’t even owned by PlayStation. This new release is published by 505 Games too, just like the version that ended…
Read MoreIs Dragon Age’s Lack of DLC a Good Thing?
Bioware’s latest Dragon Age is out, and it’s good. Critics have called it a return to form for a series that’s lacked form for a long time. It won’t be getting DLC. Is this a good thing?

Read MoreRemasters, Re-releases and Sonic
We booted up the new version of Sonic Generations this morning, and it was a blast. In fact, it was exactly the same blast it was when we played it on PC 12 months ago. That’s not strictly true. There are some new bits, some re-recorded lines of dialogue. New things can be found. Places that had slowdown, even on a fairly beefy PC, don’t have slowdown in the newly released version of the game. All of these are pretty…
Read MoreReal Yakuza Use a Gamepad
What’s the most innocent thing you’ve ever seen annoy the maximum amount of people? This is the internet, so I’m guessing we all have our examples. Here’s my latest find: the outpouring of grief over “Real Yakuza Use a Gamepad”. For those not in the know, that makes up most of a splash screen that shows at the start of every Yakuza game on PC.
