Experience the festival of your nightmares in Dead Island 2: SoLA

Summertime usually brings with it beer gardens, (the occasional day of) sunshine and music festivals. The latter being the chance to forget troubles of the real-world and just exist in a several day long party. But what if you annual pilgrimage to your festival of choice turns sour when say, the uninvited undead come and crash the party? Find out how you would cope in Dead Island 2: SoLA DLC, out now for Xbox, PlayStation and PC.

Arcade veterans rejoice at the Capcom Fighting Collection

Capcom may now be known more for the likes of Monster Hunter and Resident Evil to name but a few, but their brand was formed on arcade machines back in the day. This new compilation may represent a time after the golden era of arcades, but it still offers many Western gamers the chance to play a few of these titles for the very first time. The Capcom Fighting Collection is out today for Xbox, PlayStation, PC and Nintendo Switch.

OlliOlli World: VOID Riders Review

Aside from the new tractor beams, the VOID Riders DLC for OlliOlli World doesn’t really change much. But when the foundations are so much fun, nothing really needs to be changed.

Pac-Man Museum+ Review

Pac-Man Museum+ is not the compilation that Pac-Man deserves, but in all honesty, that doesn’t come as too much of a surprise.

Final Fantasy VII prequel Crisis Core is getting the remaster treatment

As celebrations kicked off for the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy VII, a host of announcements were made concerning console, PC and even mobile gamers.

Time hacking puzzler Time Rift out now

Anyone that played Fallout will be familiar with VaultTec.

Strong stomachs required in Oxide Room 104

The horror genre is perhaps the most diverse genre of videogames out there. Some people can’t get enough of survival horror like the Resident Evil series, whilst others may prefer horror much more in your face like Death Park or Five Nights at Freddy’s. Me? Give me an abandoned spaceship and aliens and I will lap it up. But when a game arrives describing itself as a body-horror game, it’s a huge ‘nope’ from me. Find out if your stomach can handle Oxide Room 104, out today on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.

Find your fortune in Barn Finders

Call me naïve, but I was gutted when I found out that Storage Hunters was a scripted TV show. Looking back, the quirky characters and wacky adventures just seemed too good to be true, and they were. Don’t get me wrong, that kind of behaviour exists, but perhaps just not to that extreme. But extreme in Storage Hunters is nothing compared to the extreme in junk hunting simulator Barn Finders, out today on Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation.

Gravitar: Recharged Review

The second season of the Atari Recharged series is off to a flyer with Gravitar: Recharged. Whilst it wouldn’t have been top of the reboot list for many, due to it not being as popular as others, it certainly has the ability to win over new fans.
