  09-11-2016 20:20
  Watch Dogs 2's launch trailer revolves around sticking together in the face of the corrupt powers that be. Marcus teams up with his hacker posse known as DedSec to fight back against the unethical politicians who are controlling the Bay Area with lies, deception, and fraud.

Based on the trailer, players can expect

  09-11-2016 18:00
  
  Five minutes into Dead Rising 4’s intro sequence, the action is as satisfying as it is ridiculous. The opening kicks off with hero Frank West trapped inside a bad dream straight out of Nightmare on Elm Street. He’s wakes up inside a recreation of the Willamette mall surrounded by zombie hordes. But look closer and you’ll see the storefronts have names like “Failure” and “No One Likes Your Dumb Pictures Anyway,” a telltale sign that the tough-guy photojou

  Prior to E3 earlier this year, rumor had it that Microsoft would announce an Xbox-branded streaming stick -- something in the vein of a Chromecast or Amazon Fire Stick. Instead, we got an announcement of the high-powered Project Scorpio with nary a streaming stick in sight.

• Dishonored 2 First Impressions

  09-11-2016 14:01
  
  Around 16 hours later and I’ve finished my first PS4 playthrough of Dishonored 2, a slow-burn, low-chaos run as Emily Kaldwin. Before I try out Corvo Attano and a bit of high chaos  - and summarize my final thoughts with a score -  I’d like to briefly talk about the experience.

• Robinson: The Journey PSVR Review

  09-11-2016 02:52
  
  Robinson: The Journey is a lot like Jurassic Park, and not just because it’s about dinosaurs. Its world and wildlife are engrossing and beautifully designed, and in classic Crytek fashion it’s one of the most graphically impressive games available on its platform – it’s currently exclusive to the PlayStation VR. However, when things go wrong (and they often do), they go very, very wrong. Unclear puzzles, nausea-inducing climbing, and a general lack of guidance make for an
