Darksiders may have lifted plenty of inspiration from The Legend of Zelda when it came to crafting a world that had been given an Apocalyptic Tombstone Piledriver, but when it came to combat the first two games were in a league of their own. War was a tank who could blitzkrieg through opponents, while Death was a more agile and surgical collection of mystical weapons when he faced entire armies on the battlefield. So what of Fury then? What makes this Horseman of the Apocalypse stand out?

This year, the festive game that I’ve got my eye on is Just Cause 4. It’s a series that is all about explosions, mayhem and delivering the biggest slap possible to the face of Newtonian physics. And also story apparently!

Anyway, the PlayStation’s Trophy system has always been the benchmark for just how much of a game you’ve managed to truly finish. I’ve never felt the need to go for the full platinum streak, but for other people it’s a way of life. And then you get gamers such as Bahraini A-Hakam, who has a staggering number of platinum trophies.

It’s not perfect, but WWE 2K19 is a massive return to fun form that focuses on what truly matters inside the iconic ring and delivers a pulse-pounding thrill ride that finally feels like a showcase of the immortals.

Borderlands 2 VR is bringing the entire ridiculous shooter to Sony's PlayStation Vr headset this December, with some big changes to gameplay.

Will developers ever cease focusing on single-player games and pump more resources into the potentially more lucrative fields where games exist as a service for new content and streams of revenue? With Bethesda releasing Fallout 76 soon, you’d think that at least one big name developer is bidding farewell to games where story comes first and online takes preference. Bethesda apparently, is far from done when it comes to making the kind of games that made the studio famous in the first place.

Resident Evil 2’s upcoming remake, the Lickers are back and nastier than ever. Capcom released some new footage of the tongue-tied bastards, which you can see below while I go scrub the fear off my body.

One aspect of the 2K Games series that hasn’t changed much this year? The superb character creation tool, which is instead a tweaked and perfected version of the suite of options found in each WWE 2K game. The best part of the feature? It’s comprehensive, massive in the options available and you’re able to put your own face inside the game. If you need a crash course reminder in how to upload your face, then Bombshell Bonthuys is more than ready to school you in the fine art of uploading the perfectly punchable face in WWE 2K19.
