A deceptively goofy asymmetrical tactics game that feels as grand as any monster movie. Toss Into The Breach and Advance Wars into a nuclear reactor with the contents of an abandoned VHS store and you'll get Kaiju Wars - a brilliant turn-based strategy game about putting off the inevitable or preferably, taking it on an extended tour of the unpopulated warehouse district, well away from your town centre. The gist: giant movie monsters are attacking a series of violently coloured, isometric tile-based cities. [Read More]

We've already discussed 4A Games' marvellous work on Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition on both PC and Xbox Series consoles, but today we can complete the set as we look at the PlayStation 5 version - and it's an absolute treat. Just like all the other versions of the game, it's using the latest rendition of the 4A Engine, rebuilt from the ground up to support hardware accelerated ray tracing, which is used to deliver phenomenally realistic global illumination.

Midway has revealed the 22 playable characters who will appear in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe later this year. The most interesting of these we already know: Wonder Woman. But there are others new to us, such as Shao Khan, who shot to fame with hit song "Ain't Nobody" in the '80s. [Very droll. - Ed] Originally, the names leaked from a list of Xbox 360 Achievements for MK vs. DC, which are awarded for pulling off expert combo moves as each of the fighters. [Read More]

Mini Motorways, the acclaimed road-building strategy sim from developer Dinosaur Polo Club, has made the leap to Switch and will be available via the console's eShop from today, 11th May. As you might have already twigged, Mini Motorways is the follow-up to Dinosaur Polo Club's celebrated underground railway builder Mini Metro, and delivers an equally minimalist, equally excellent, spin on its predecessor's tactile strategy action. In Mini Motorways, each level takes loose inspiration from a real-world city, and the goal is to construct as efficient a road network as possible, placing down the likes of traffic lights, bridges, and roads to ensure commuters are able to reach their destination within the allotted time.

Bloodborne has a first-person mod that goes beyond simply moving the camera. Modder Garden of Eyes worked with modder Zullie the Witch, who created the Dark Souls 3 first-person mod, to create Bloodborne's first-person mod. Trailer is below: As you'd expect, Bloodborne's combat looks and feels entirely different in first-person, where you don't have as comprehensive a view of the action afforded by a third-person perspective. The bosses in particular look extra scary up close! [Read More]

Heavy Rain and Detroit developer Quantic Dream is reportedly working on a new project based upon The Dark Sorcerer, its 2013 PlayStation 4 tech demo. The demo featured a grey-haired sorcerer and a goblin sidekick attempting to cast a spell - until things went wrong, and it was revealed the whole thing was based on a video game motion capture stage. Back in 2013, it served as a showcase for what PS4 could run in real-time. [Read More]

Previous page Page 11 of 12 Next page Surviving the werewolves attack is your first major combat section of Resident Evil Village. Following on from exploring the West Old Town and East Old Town, you'll be surrounded by enemies at just about every turn in an enclosed area of the village - somewhat reminiscent of the opening scenes of Resident Evil 4. The key here is to stay calm and keep moving - and to grab the Shotgun to give you the upper hand when cornered. [Read More]

Page 1 of 2 Next page What's this? An on-rails zombie shooter as good as The House of the Dead II? In 2007? Shame it's taken Capcom eight years and four attempts to get it right. Shame the genre is as outdated as 56k modems. Shame it's so short and that there's not a single new idea in the entire game. But hey, it's never too late to have fun shooting undead Umbrella employees between the eyes. [Read More]

This month's Rust update truly is a whopper, introducing a refreshed underwater biome with procedural underwater lab dungeons, submarines, torpedoes, sharks and more. The update, which launched yesterday, introduces procedurally-generated underwater labs to the world of Rust, which will come in a variety of shapes and sizes - but always with two entry points. They can be entered via a "moonpool" using a submarine (another new item that we'll get to later). [Read More]

About a decade ago, racing games seemed to be a genre on their way out - arcade racers like Blur and Split/Second weren't selling, great studios were closing and even mainstream series like Need for Speed were struggling to get the attention they once had. Outside of a Mario Kart or a Gran Turismo, it seemed the days of the big-ticket racing game, and of the genre as an exciting mass-market draw, were over. [Read More]
