'GTA 5: Definitive Edition' Is The Enhanced Overhaul The Game Deserves

We're now mere weeks away from the launch of the all-new PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium tiers here in the UK, and subscribers old and new are keen to see what they're getting in exchange for some of their hard-earned cash,. Sony already announced a portion of the new PS1,...

This is a strange one. Xbox owners will reportedly soon receive a popular PlayStation 4 feature and not only that, they’ll receive it before the feature has even come to the PlayStation 5. Weird. The Xbox Series X/S shortage finally seems to have drawn to a close. In fact,...

Old PlayStation gems are making a comeback, largely thanks to the upcoming overhaul of PlayStation Plus. Those with access to the Premium tier will get access to a bunch of incredible PlayStation 3 titles via cloud streaming including Crash Commando, Demon’s Souls, Infamous, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time, and Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare.

There’s a natural gaming life cycle. Release. Peak. Plummet. It’s sad, but it’s largely inevitable. Very few games break that cycle but Grand Theft Auto V is one of them. Transcending its peak, GTA V has gone on to achieve an immortal level of success. Grand Theft...

Earlier this year, The Embracer Group made a hefty purchase after acquiring Square Enix’s North American studios - Crystal Dynamics, Eidos-Montréal, and Square Enix Montreal - along with several major IPs including Tomb Raider and Deus Ex, for $300 million. The Embracer Group has now released its report...

Stranger Things 4 finally releases later this month, and Netflix has ensured the three-year wait for more Hawkins action will be worth it by making the new season ridiculously long. While Stranger Things 4 actually has one less episode than Stranger Things 3 did, series co-creator Ross Duffer has confirmed...

Click here to read the full article. Speed Racer is making its way back to TV screens. A live-action series based on the Japanese manga and animated show has received a series order at Apple TV+, per The Hollywood Reporter. J.J. Abrams will executive-produce via his Bad Robot banner, while Hiram Martinez (Snowpiercer, Get Shorty) and Ron Fitzgerald (Perry Mason, Westworld) serve as co-writers and showrunners. Previous English adaptations include the anime series Speed Racer X, which aired in 2002 on Nickelodeon, and a 2008 live-action film starring Emile Hirsch, directed by the Wachowskis. Ready for some more recent newsy nuggets? Well… * Cobra...

Whatever you think of Cyberpunk 2077, there’s no doubt it’s a big title. From the amount of in-game content to its cultural impact, CD Projekt RED’s titanic RPG offers a lot for any player who dares risk entering the unfinished world of Night City. However, there’s one thing I’d like more of, and that’s the brief moments where we play as Johnny Silverhand.

Criterion Games’ upcoming new Need For Speed entry is certainly being kept on the downlow. Outside of unconfirmed footage which recently leaked, we know very little else about the latest instalment in the franchise, which was set to be released this year. There are theories aplenty. Some say the...

Hogwarts Legacy is undoubtedly one of the most highly anticipated new games we have on the horizon, and for good reason - it’s really looking like everything fans have been dreaming of and more. Earlier this year, when we were given our first proper look at the game in...

When you think of PlayStation mascots, who are the first characters that come to mind? Chances are, you’re almost certainly going to think of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon - these two icons basically defined the late 90s-early 2000s PlayStation era (which is why it’s so weird to think that Xbox is due to own the pair when their Activision buyout goes through).

A recently discovered job listing for the in-development BioShock 4 hints at some major changes to the game's approach to combat. We've known for a while that 2K Games and Cloud Chamber are working on the next entry in the BioShock series, but we've yet to see or hear anything official from the game itself. Still, what we're hearing from the occasional job listing and leak suggests that BioShock 4 is shaping up to be a major departure from the previous three entries.

It’s been many, many years since we first heard about Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (well, five), but we still know very little about it. Which, y’know, seems oddly fitting for the Avatar franchise, what with the four movie sequels which have been lined up for what feels like forever now, with so little actual information revealed. At least the second film, The Way of Water, does seem to be happening for real this time (it’s currently slated for release on 16 December, six years later than expected).

There are many, many reasons why someone might choose to try out a particular video game. Generally, because something looks fun, you’d think. But maybe you might be tempted to pick something up if it’s getting a lot of good reviews, or to play something new with a friend.

When you think of the Kirby franchise, I doubt you think of hardcore gaming modes like permadeath yet that’s what unlucky Nintendo Switch players have been faced with this weekend whilst trying to play Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Originally released in 2000 for the N64, Kirby 64: The...

Gears of War fans have to be praised for their patience. Gears 6 feels like a no brainer. The franchise continues to be a huge success yet three years after Gears 5 released, here we are with no news on the future of the franchise. In all fairness to The...

It’s a hard fact to miss but as of late, King Kong and Godzilla have invaded Call of Duty: Warzone as part of the Operation Monarch limited time event. The event sees players battle it out as usual yet with the added challenge of trying not to get trampled to death by Kong or decimated by Godzilla’s atomic breath.

The day is almost upon us, my PlayStation-owning friends. We don’t have long to go until the much-anticipated overhaul of PlayStation Plus finally launches. Hurray! Announced back in March, the reimagined service launches on 1 June in Japan, 13 June in the Americas, before finally reaching Europe on 22 June.

I don’t think there’s a single person out there who can call Elden Ring an easy game. The braver and more skilled amongst us might be able to get by with a bit less frustration, but let’s face it, anyone who says that it’s not difficult at all is just lying. You can’t tell me that there’s not a single boss in the game that’s had you attempting the fight multiple times over before you finally clawed your way to victory. We’ve all been there.

Last month, PlayStation’s London Studio (aka the merger of Psygnosis’ Camden Studio and Team Soho - thanks, Wikipedia) revealed that they had an ambitious title in the works which has “huge potential”, and people went wild. Absolutely no details were actually revealed about the project, but given that it’s coming from the studio that made The Getaway, and since 2022 marks the 20th anniversary of that game, things just seemed to be coming together perfectly for a new game in the series to be happening.
