Could a special Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Switch bundle be on its way this Christmas? This may seem like a strange thing to be speculative – or indeed conspiratorial – about, but there’s nothing the internet likes more than grainy leaked photos of products that haven’t yet been announced. Take a look at this… It’s a photo of a photo, apparently originating […]
The first Spider-Man reviews are in! The brand new, PS4 exclusive title from Insomniac Games lands today and – if you’re on the fence – the, ahem, “web” is already hosting a range of opinions to aid your decision-making. I say “a range of opinions” – actually they seem fairly consistent. The general flavour du jour is that the latest […]
Nintendo has announced that it is delaying this week’s Nintendo Direct after a powerful earthquake struck Hokkaido in Japan. Its latest online showcase had been scheduled to go live at 11pm BST on Thursday 6th September, however in a tweet this morning Nintendo announced that it had decided to defer the broadcast. Due to the powerful earthquake in Hokkaido, Japan, […]
Wow, it’s fair to say that this came a little sooner than I expected. CD Projekt has released a gameplay video of its upcoming neo noir title Cyberpunk 2077, which has been shrouded in mystery for a number of years. And it’s not just any old gameplay video… a 48 minute video no less, (because 50 minutes would have been cray […]
The Devil May Cry 5 demo was made available to the lucky attendees of this year’s Gamescom, and by all accounts the title looks to be in fantastic shape. Moreover, yesterday Capcom dropped the news that the next game in the DMC series would arrive on PS4, Xbox One and PC on March 8th 2019, meaning there’s plenty of time to save up and […]
It’s official – Diablo 3 is coming out on the Nintendo Switch! You can buy it on the, ahh, erm, Soonish of Somtober, as Nintendo hasn’t actually issued a release date, other than vaguely aiming for “probably fall.” The action-packed RPG from developer Blizzard actually came out six years ago on the PC, followed by a PS3 and Xbox 360 launch in […]
You know it’s a tough day when video game characters make headlines on BBC News. Last week, Nintendo unceremoniously killed off one of its mascot characters in an act of blood-curdling brutality. Luigi the Italian plumber stared into the jaws of Death – literally – as he was dealt a weighty blow by one of Castlevania‘s most formidable villains. So […]
Don’t get me wrong – I was very excited to hear the new Red Dead Redemption 2 details when Rockstar dropped the latest gameplay video yesterday. It sounds like the team are creating something really special, and if the title plays as good as it looks… Well, it will probably go on to be a flingin’ flangin’ smash hit y’all. Here’s the […]
The gaming news and reviews website IGN has fired one of its content writers after an act of plagiarism was discovered. The story actually broke a couple of days ago – I remember seeing a tweet from an account called Broomstick Gaming and I instantly dismissed it in my mind, thinking “Yeahhhh, right…” Here’s the tweet in question… IGN Copied […]
Today, Nintendo streamed a new Nintendo Direct fully centered on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and it had a quite a lot to cover! In case you missed it, here are the most exciting announcements listed in order of appearance. The Direct started off with the announcement of two new characters. Simon Belmont and Richter Belmont from Castlevania! These two fighters […]
Hungry for more details on the new Smash Bros. title? Well you won’t have much longer to wait, as Nintendo has announced that a special Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct livestream is coming up this Wednesday 8th August. Tune in 8/8 at 7am PT for a Super #SmashBrosUltimate Direct livestream, featuring new game information delivered by director Masahiro Sakurai! pic.twitter.com/Df3xxTCTGR […]
Few games are shrouded in as much mystery as Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding. Except maybe Cyberpunk 2077, but at least we have a vague idea as to what it could conceivably be about. When it comes to the pending Death Stranding release, we can’t even be sure of its platform, let alone its genre. The question that’s currently doing the rounds is whether this […]
Spyro for the Switch? It’s not beyond the realms of possibility. After all, the Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy made its way onto the console about a year after its PS4 debut. This latest speculation comes after an erroneous posting appeared on the official Spyro website (now gone, alas) in which the upcoming Spyro Re-ignited Trilogy was listed as being available for pre-order on […]
The next No Man’s Sky update is about to send gravitational waves through our procedurally-generated universe. Yesterday, Sean Murray and Hello Games released an exciting new trailer for No Man’s Sky: NEXT, showcasing some of the major changes that are about to touch down on PlayStation, PC and – in due course – Xbox One. Here it is… No Man’s Sky originally launched in […]
Being able to buy Octopath Traveler could actually be the biggest challenge of the Switch’s latest JRPG – given that it’s sold out everywhere. Okay, I mustn’t downgrade myself to sensationalist, apocalyptic journalism. It’s not sold out everywhere. That would be ridiculous. It’s no Crash Bandicoot 😉 However, customers hoping to buy Octopath Traveler at amazon.com might have to wait a while, as […]
Move over, Jurassic World – this week’s Crash Bandicoot sales have seen the orange mascot hold his own at the top of the charts. The new release on the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One has beaten the likes of Jurassic World: Evolution, Fifa 18 and Mario Tennis Aces to secure the number one spot for the second week in a row. Apparently, the Xbox One […]
