To call Bugsnax a bit weird would be an understatement. From the announcement alone we are able to gleam this, but it gets weirder somehow bringing in distinctly human problems to the unique characters adds a whole new level of quirkiness. So what is this game about then? You play as the ‘Journalist’ a nameless and faceless character in this unusual world....

We truly live in a new era, one where creativity and customisation prevails. Never before have we seen a generation where the customers of a product would customise and tweak their electronics as much as we do now. Maybe Sony was aware of what Gen Z and Millennials want and why the designs a plain white console? This guy wrapped his in an Opal holographic vinyl...

Mortal Kombat is one of the rare franchises that survived the 16-bit era and five console generations later it is still going strong. The violence and levels of blood always distinguished MK over the likes of Tekken and Street Fighter, but has the recipe finally gone stale? Well, it hasn’t. Somehow the developers were able to keep the game fresh with all the additional...

Can’t stand to be away from your PS5 just yet? Craving some more Spider-Man Miles Morales. Remote play will help you with that. It works surprisingly well. Even the raytracing works!

The highest priced next gen game was Godfall that pushed the UK price limits to the top end of £69.99 for the base game. We wrote a story a few months ago regarding the pricing and how much it translates to when converting to dollars (over $91). Not the first price drop either The price drop came only 4 days after the PS5 release (EU release date 19th November),...

The Katamari Damacy premise has been unchanged ever since it began in 2004. Maintaining the classic adage “if is ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. REROLL is a remaster of the Switch version of the game, but only for last generation consoles. Story is vague but gets you going and adds a small additional layer to what you are doing, regardless how silly...

Almost immediately after the DualSense was revealed the internet was begging for a black controller. For the first time Sony released a ‘white’ console and controller. No official black controller as of yet, so you may have to take matters into your own hands. Some guy spray painted his black and it looks great. He even reported that the touchpad still...

Am I the only one who spent an obscene amount of time figuring out where the Trophy List is now gone? Seems like the trophies have been downgraded from having their own icon to being buried 2 clicks deep. After trawling the system I was able to find where they are, and it is simple when you know! Click on your user icon, this will bring up a secondary list which...
