The Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription service was met with some controversy when it was announced, due in part to the fact that the added perk of N64 and SEGA Mega Drive games was lacklustre. Fortunately, Nintendo continues to add new titles (and even new systems) on a …

While Xbox has spent a great deal of time pushing its cloud gaming services (thanks in no small part to Microsoft’s ownership of the Azure cloud computing service), Sony has focused much more on local gaming solutions. This seems to be shifting somewhat with a number of new job listings – alongside recent rumours – suggesting that Sony is going all-in on cloud gaming.

Unlike Microsoft with Xbox Game Pass, Sony does not bring its first-party titles to the console manufacturer’s PlayStation Plus subscription service at launch. Despite this, Sony has been rather good with adding partner titles day-one to PS Plus. Such is the case with Behaviour Interactive’s upcoming post-apocalyptic first-person building and …

As part of Sony’s recent State of Play, fans were given an in-depth look at the upcoming Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League – a co-op action-adventure open-world game. While the title can be fully played solo – with the co-op nature merely being additive to the experience – it has …

Those subscribed to the highest tier are fortunately not being left behind, as February’s PS+ Premium line-up has …

Destiny 2 is not a hard game. Thanks to the game’s movement and combat mechanics, simplistic enemy AI and snappy aim-assist, the game is highly satisfying to play – though perhaps not the most challenging in PvE environments. Ahead of Destiny 2’s massive Lightfall DLC, the team has confirmed some …

While Ubisoft is more than willing to kill off less-than-successful live service titles, the ones that do succeed tend to receive MANY years of updates. One such title is The Division 2. Released in 2019, the game is set to soon get its 11th season however due to a new …

Mario Kart 8 has had a highly interesting life. Beginning as a Wii U Game with some DLC, it was then ported to the Switch. For years, that was it…until we got the Booster Course Pack, adding 48 new tracks. Interestingly, the upcoming 4th wave of DLC will be the …

Redfall is one of the biggest first-party Xbox games currently set to release in 2023. Launching on the 2nd of May, Microsoft recently gave fans a deep look at the upcoming open-world co-op shooter. Unfortunately it seems as though even if you were to play the game solo, Redfall will …

Last month we reported that the popular PowerWash Simulator was getting a crossover with the Tomb Raider franchise, letting players powerwash the entire Croft Manor as part of a free update.

Bright Memory: Infinite was one of the first Xbox Series X games to be shown off all the way back in 2020. Since then the title has come and gone, but the developers have continued to work diligently on bringing major new features to the game. In a surprise and …

In 2022 we saw Sony wholly revamp its PlayStation Plus subscription service, replacing the previous model in favour of a three tiered structure: PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra and Premium. With the introduction of the new PlayStation Plus, Sony was clearly attempting to align the service to be much closer to that of Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass. But have they succeeded?

Each month, those with a PlayStation Plus Extra or Premium subscription are gifted a dozen or so free games to play for as long as their subscription remains intact (or until the game is removed from the service). Sony has now announced January’s free PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium titles …

Following a great year in 2022, Microsoft has started off its 2023 in a rather silent manner – at least when it comes to Xbox Game Pass. Typically updated twice a month, we have seen little in the way of new titles for Game Pass. Finally however, Microsoft has announced …

Despite Microsoft now owning the studio, and it being on the service for over 4 …

Let it Die was an interesting but ultimately failed experiment to create a free-to-play Souls-like all the way back in 2016 exclusively for PlayStation. In 2022 we saw the surprise release of its pseudo-sequel, with the battle royale game ‘Deathverse: Let it Die’. Unfortunately, it too has not been performing …

TMNT The Cowabunga Collection launched earlier this year to great success, bringing together all of the classic Turtles titles into one attractive and modern package.

Many have claimed that Xbox Game Pass is the best deal in gaming (including the company itself), and while that may be the case, for some, coughing up £10.99 every month is too much. For those, Microsoft may be set to introduce a new cheaper ad-supported tier, thanks to a …

Though it launched in a somewhat laughable state, Fallout 76 has continually been updated since its release back in 2018 – bringing the live service title much closer to what fans would expect from a modern Bethesda Fallout title. Season 11 of Fallout 76 is now live, including the game’s …
