Yes, you read correctly. You can go and play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate right now! Sort of. Nintendo has just launched something called the Nintendo Switch Holiday Experience, which means that gamers in select areas can go into retail stores and play demos of some of the Switch’s hottest titles – including the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Alas, this is limited to […]
As the internet continues to reel from the controversial unveiling of the upcoming Diablo: Immortal title, I felt it was my moral duty – as a man of infuriating optimism – to weigh in with some positivity about the game that has left many people feeling sad, betrayed and angry. First, a quick recap. Diablo: Immortal was announced at the most recent Blizzcon as […]
Just when you thought the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster couldn’t get much bigger, Nintendo has announced that it will be offering a batch of paid DLC post-launch, which will bring a range of new characters to the Smashverse. These brand new fighters – which are being developed from scratch – will be offered in special sets which will include one […]
If you’re a PC gamer and have been feeling a little ‘left out in the cold’ by the recent Red Dead Redemption 2 phenomenon, then you could be in luck. A crumb of comfort has been thrown – a tiny nugget of optimism, and one that I don’t fully understand, but will try my best to explain to you. The information […]
Okay, I’m going to do my best to disentangle this one! I’m not a Fallout player but I’ve been following the coverage for the upcoming game with interest, and this week saw the first public round of Fallout 76 beta testing – an ideal opportunity for the developer Bethesda to iron out any bugs and stress-test the online servers. The original idea was for […]
You may think that Pokémon Go was a flash-in-the-pan craze that won the mainstream imagination for two whole weeks in 2016 before vanishing into obscurity, but you’d be wrong. According to a recent report from VG247, Pokémon Go grossed a non-shabby $84.8 million in September 2018 – its highest takings for the year so far. September was also the highest month for installs, with […]
If you’re a Switch owner and aren’t too bothered by Forza, Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassin’s Creed or else are just rolling in money, you may be interested to know that Super Mario Party is launching tomorrow (that is, October 5th.) A sort of precursor to the hotly-anticipated Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, this multiplayer title has – to some extent – been […]
As we crawl towards the end of 2018 and start to look ahead to the new games on the horizon, the internet rumour mill has been working overtime with some intriguing tidbits of gossip about possible titles for next year. First off, we already know that Nintendo has a brand new Animal Crossing game slated to release on the Switch in 2019, […]
Reviews are starting to trickle in for the hotly-anticipated Forza Horizon 4, which is due to arrive on the Xbox One and PC on Tuesday 2nd October. The lavishly-realised motoring game takes place entirely within a ‘shared world’ digital UK, and offers different gameplay opportunities depending on the time of year. (Although I can confirm that, as a seasoned UK resident, […]
PlayStation has ranked third in the UK for brand relevance, according to a recent report. The investigation, conducted by Prophet, surveyed 11,500 UK consumers and measured their feelings towards 240 different brands, ultimately concluding that PlayStation had the most meaningful impact on people’s lives. (At least, compared to its gaming competitors.) But who was the overall winner? You probably won’t […]
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 […]
