Lara Croft has been named the most iconic video game character of all time by the BAFTA Games Awards and my first thought was “what?” I mean, it makes sense. As someone who remembers the magazine covers, the cardboard cut-outs and the rave reviews from balding middle-aged non-gamer dads, I get it. She was the first character I remember truly transcending the medium. Mario and Sonic (mostly Sonic) might be more obvious. But they didn’t have a quarter of the…

While the core experience remains familiar to those who played it elsewhere, the PlayStation port boasts some technical improvements and a chance for a whole new audience to experience its unique charm. The story throws you into…

As Sony’s concerns over profit margins were discussed and rediscussed the web over, there was one mantra that it was hard to escape from. That mantra was BRING BACK GRAVITY RUSH. I’m with you, Kat fans. That series was the perfect combination of cute and clever. It was like nothing else, and that’s a real shame. There should be more games like it. But there aren’t. Why? Because they’re not as wildly successful as, say, Spider-Man. You can take a…

PlayStation VR2 launched a year ago, bringing a wave of immersive experiences to gamers. With over 40 games at launch, including innovative titles like Horizon Call of the Mountain and Pavlov, and PS VR2-compatible favorites like Gran Turismo 7 and Resident Evil Village, it quickly established itself as a powerful platform for virtual reality adventures. The past year hasn’t been stagnant either. New releases like Synapse, Red Matter, and Resident Evil 4 VR Mode offered intense first-person thrills, while puzzlers…

Helldivers 2 is a hilarious and bombastic love letter to cheesy sci-fi action flicks, wrapped in a challenging and strategic cooperative shooter. Taking the core concept of its predecessor and blasting it into the third dimension, it delivers an experience that’s equal parts frantic action, tactical thinking, and side-splitting laughs. Forget subtlety – Helldivers 2 throws you headfirst into the deep end of its gloriously over-the-top world. You become a Helldiver, a soldier tasked with defending Super Earth from bug-infested…

I went into last night’s State of Play excited to see what I might be playing on my PlayStation in 2024. And on that front I was disappointed. But man, 2025 can’t come fast enough. Don’t get me wrong, 2024 is going to be an awesome year. We’re in the actual month that the actual Final Fantasy VII Rebirth releases, and that’s the most exciting gaming thing in years. It looks like Metal Gear Solid 3: Delta will be out…

I recently finished God of War (2018) and very much enjoyed it. I know this isn’t going to be news to most people, but it’s really rather good. And while I could easily write a couple of thousand words on what worked (and a quite a bit less on what didn’t), there’s one thing that I felt stood out more than anything: the original God of War needs a Final Fantasy 7-style remake. Sony is in their “pointlessly releasing old…
