Housemarque are back with their second entry on the PS4. Nex Machina is a voxel-based dual-stick arcade shooter set in a universe where humans are scarce and robots are out to get you. It blends the style of all their previous titles namely RESOGUN and Super Stardust HD, so it can only be good right? The idea behind using volumetric pixels or voxels has been around for decades,...
Sony’s E3 2017 conference didn’t deliver anywhere near as many surprises as last year, but more of what we have seen before, luckily it was all great footage. From Uncharted: The Lost Legacy to God of War 4, and the biggest shocker, a Shadow of the Colossus remake. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy opened the showFollowed by Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds DLCA...
Microsoft’s conference was actually decent this year, but they’ve still not convinced me on the new super-powered Xbox. If it was part of a new generation of consoles, I’d say the price-point was correct, but at the moment it doesn’t feel like much of a leap especially with the games showcase. In any case, here are all the announcements from Microsoft’s...
Electronic Arts were the first press conference this year, and for the most part they had a fairly standard show for them. A lot of sports games, a bit of Battlefield, but there were some really great gems at this conference. Here’s all the announcements of the show: Madden NFL 18 announcedBattlefield 1 DLC announced – In The Name of the TsarFIFA 18 announcedNeed...
Mental illness is not often targeted in gaming as the main concept of a game. There are plenty of games that taken place in asylums, but you don’t play as a mentally ill patient, you’re normally in a survival horror situation. This is something The Town of Light tackles, or at least attempts to tackle, following the story of Renee. Renee is a 16 year-old girl who...
E3 is just days away, and gamers are already getting excited at the possibility of what might be announced. Sony is in a bit of a strange position this year, where they’ve got a lot of games that have already been announced, that have not yet been released, so will there be any big new game announcements or just more of the same? Here’s what we think Sony will...

Injustice 2 arguably had one of the best stories in a fighting game that we’ve ever seen, and Tekken 7’s story is also quite good. May was better than we thought it would be with the fighting game genre coming back with the vengeance, June is likely to have some surprise indie game releases at E3. In any case, here’s the full list of games you can expect...
Tekken is back, after nearly 10 years since the release of a numbered sequel and almost 6 years since Tekken Tag Tournament 2, the hype for a new Tekken game is at fever pitch. The seventh entry in the series promises a single player campaign that seamlessly transitions into a fight, new fighting systems and a handful of new characters. Does Tekken 7 land a 10-hit combo, or...
It used to be the norm for developers and publishers to send out, sometimes very impressive press kits out to journalists and media outlets to show off. Sadly, press kits are starting to become a thing of the past, luckily that isn’t the case for Tekken 7, and Bandai Namco has sent us a press kit and allowed us to share it with you.Presented in a lovely folder covered...
Crossout is a vehicular combat MMO, that lets you customise your vehicle and battle it out in a wasteland. It is very reminiscent on Mad Max, and Rage, and initially this game looks like a great variation on games like Rocket League. The default control scheme when starting a match is not the best. The camera control, and steering is very sensitive, and can get very frustrating...
The Electronics Entertainment Expo is a worldwide event, and millions of gamers will tune in, as they do every year, to watch their favourite publisher set out the future of their company. As such the timings for the conferences tend to cause issues for gamers abroad. The conferences are spread over 5 days this year all around the world, and Microsoft’s time is the biggest...
PlayStation VR has already taken the leap of immersion by putting us inside the game; paired with some 5.1 surround sound headphones you can totally escape reality. The only draw back so far are the controllers. The Move controller is better than the DualShock 4, however Sony has gone one step further and developed a two handed gun controller, but to keep it family-friendly...
Injustice 2 has debuted at number 1 in the UK’s all formats chart for the week ending May 20th, 2017.

NetherRealm Studios set the bar for the best story mode in a fighting game with Mortal Kombat X; they kept this standard when they moved over to Injustice Gods Among Us, their first console soiree into the DC Comics intellectual property. Many were disappointed on the toned down violence, but lauded the story-line. Can Injustice 2 improve upon an existing formula that works...
