Find out which PS4 games are true blockbusters or over-hyped flops. We give you the lowdown in a simple easy-to-read format.
One of the many beautiful things about video games is wish fulfilment. We can be things we probably won’t be in real life; stalwart vampire hunters, gallant explorers and crack-shot snipers.

I very rarely see myself as someone who particularly enjoys puzzle games. That is, until I play something exceptionally innovative and original, like Portal, Monument Valley or indeed Tetris.

It’s a favourite pastime of ours to compare how we’d do in a zombie apocalypse. Many long hours have passed in heated debate, but suffice it to say none of us are sure we’d really fare that well.

Railway Empire is a Tycoon-like game but for trains. The game takes place in the United States in 1863. The player’s job is to build railroads, particularly the historic Transcontinental railroad.

The publishers, Paradox Interactive, aren’t exactly unknowns, but those numbers are normally the realm…

There was a huge amount of excitement around the original Project CARS game. Much of this came from the fact that it was mostly crowdfunded (to the tune of a hefty $3million), instead of being backed by one of the big publishers, which in turn led developers Slightly Mad Studios to drip-feed tidbits and updates to their backers and those…

Not so long ago, FIFA’s dominance seemed unassailable. Having previously been the choice for more “serious” football fans, the quality of Pro Evolution Soccer games – FIFA’s longstanding rival – tailed off dramatically with the switch from PS2 to PS3.

Another season of the NFL has gotten underway. And as we all know, a new NFL season means a new Madden game. EA Sports have been making Madden games since 1988, and they’ve been released annually since 1990. That’s a whole lot of time to try and keep a franchise fresh, and it’s true that – at certain points –…

A very few, select series have been inextricably tied to the PlayStation, and have become iconic for the brand: God of War, Crash Bandicoot (in the early days), Gran Turismo, Jak and Daxter, and so on. The Uncharted franchise inarguably belongs on this list. There have already been four entries in the main series, along with a handful of secondary…

You may not be familiar with the Everybody’s Golf series, even though Japanese developer Clap Hanz has been making them for nearly two decades now. That’s because, in the west, the games have been called ‘Hot Shots Golf’ instead. The switch to calling the latest, (PS4-exclusive) release ‘Everybody’s Golf’ feels somehow right. Because really, there is something here for absolutely…

Prey is a game I might describe as attempting to be a spiritual successor to System Shock. Some people prefer to liken it to Bioshock, but I disagree. Prey shares more in common with System Shock 2 than anything, with Arkane’s own Dishonored franchise thrown into the mix for good measure. A similar sci-fi horror setting makes for a superficial…
