During their Paris Games Week press conference yesterday, Sony showed off a brand new trailer for 2018’s Marvel’s Spider-Man that gave us the most information to unpack than any other trailer for the game thus far: from the first looks at Peter Parker, Aunt May, a tease of Norman Osborn and a new villain in the Shocker.…

REVIEW: THE DARKNESS (PS3)

In 2004, developer Starbreeze impressed a lot of people with the release of the Xbox original exclusive The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. Launching alongside The Chronicles of Riddick film, it was a rare example of a game being much better received than the movie it was meant to support, something not really seen since GoldenEye 007 on the Nintendo…

REVIEW: THE DARKNESS II (XBOX 360)

2007’s The Darkness was a commercial success for developer Starbreeze and publisher 2K Games, going on to sell over one million copies, which was a pretty good figure for a game based around an IP that wasn’t that well-known.

LEGO DIMENSIONS HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY DISCONTINUED

Lego Dimensions, the toys-to-life game from publisher WB Games that united a multitude of bizarre franchises into one Lego-fied universe, is sadly no more. Joining the likes of Disney Infinity which was similarly shuttered last year, Lego Dimensions is the latest casuality in the toys-to-life genre that looks to be going the way of the plastic instrument craze from last…
