Assassin’s Creed Rogue is a missing link of sorts with the series proper. It's considered a mainline game, but it was only ever released on consoles for the PS3 and Xbox 360 at the end of their lifespans. Because of that timing, a lot...

During the inaugural PlayStation experience in 2014, viewers were graced the amazing gift of the announcement that Yakuza 5 would be localized for the west. The following year, Sony confirmed that Yakuza 0 would grace western consoles and i...

As we round out 2017 and get ready for the new year, Sony is looking to the past to entertain PlayStation Plus users. The headlining games for December 2017 are Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition (still a stupid name) and Kung Fu Panda: Sh...

My Demon's Souls experience was in a bubble, and I'll always be grateful for that opportunity. In my early years of reviewing I got a very advanced copy of the game, and went in completely blind, with only my knowledge of RPGs, action ...

[Update: Atlus has confirmed that online functionality in Demon's Souls will shut down worldwide on February 28.] Sony Japan have announced that they will be shutting down online features for RPG title Demon's Souls, which launched on PlayS...

Sony's initial batch of Black Friday deals for PlayStation Plus subscribers wasn't anything too wild, but now that the full sale is underway, there's a far better selection of games. (If you're on PS4, that is.) What's good? I'm tempted by ...

Whenever a game lets the player pick a romantic partner, there's a chance they'll engage with other people in a debate over who's the best candidate. If your opponent disagrees with you, then their reply will contain the s-wo...

Sony is kicking off its Black Friday deals a little early in North America but don't get too excited yet. The PlayStation Network sale is currently only for PlayStation Plus subscribers and the deals, well, they're all just big-publisher ga...

Skyrim was released in 2011. Six years later (almost to the day), it's still relevant. So relevant in fact that we thought it was worth a revisit with our review of the Special Edition, and worth covering yet again on Switch. Such is the po...

Cole Phelps: professional asshole. As I solved case after case in L.A. Noire upon its original release in 2011 (feel_old_yet.jpg), that's the only thought that consistently popped into my mind. But as absurd as this crime-stopping romp was,...

Say what you will about how lame video game awards shows can be, Geoff Keighley is definitely dedicated to making his event the best it can possibly be. Shedding the shackles of Spike TV has allowed him to produce a much better show in rece...

The two Kane & Lynch games were, on paper, exciting propects. The first, Dead Men, was intended to be a pulse-pounding, squad-based heist thriller, similar to films such as Heat, but was a fumbling, awkward game. The 2010 sequel, Dog Da...

It seems like the merc with a mouth just can't sit still for too long. High Moon Studio's Deadpool has come and gone from Steam so many times that hearing about another delisting is hardly surprising. Licenses expire and Activision has neve...

There might not be much in the way of thematic cohesion across November's PlayStation Plus games, but that's made up for by sheer quantity. Sony's offering seven titles this month instead of the usual six. The reason for the uptick in game...

If you love video games and haven't bought Shovel Knight, then what are you doing with your life? Also, now might be a good time to jump in as Yacht Club Games has put the game on sale for every single platform (and there are a lot) to cele...

We're in the second and final week of Sony's Sale of the Dead on PlayStation Network. If you felt the initial batch had notable omissions, I agree! Namely, Until Dawn. The cinematic horror adventure game is down to $5.99 with PlayStation Pl...

$125? Come again?! While it's true that Atlus is offering an Ultimate Edition of Persona 5 on PlayStation Network, it's essentially just a DLC bundling for the sake of convenience; this isn't equivalent to those "game of the year" editions ...

Following reports that Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games would wrap up their work on LEGO Dimensions earlier than expected, the publisher has has issued a confirmation. The toys-to-life game won't be getting any new expans...

Grand Theft Auto V was such a smashing success that everyone assumed Rockstar would be hard at work on a potential DLC campaign. The city of Los Santos was vast and the characters were all set up to have some sort of continuation, so what h...

The Switch versions of Resident Evil: Revelations 1 and 2 have a unique way of preparing players for Raid mode. They each have their own mini-game that appears to be exclusive to Nintendo's console. Revelations 1's game is called ...

As a casual speedrunner, I'm always finding ways to test or better myself. One idea I came up with long ago, before online steaming popularized it, is "the race." A friend and I would get two identical consoles and two of the same game, and...

Sony's Sale of the Dead is now live on PlayStation Network, offering discounts on horror titles and other vaguely Halloween-appropriate wares throughout the rest of this month. Expect lots of Resident Evil, Dead Island, and Walking Dead, as...

It's time to strap in for another North American PlayStation Network flash sale. You might be expecting a Friday the 13th theme but, nope, we're looking at an assorted group of games here. I'm just going to throw out some suggestions if tha...
