The signature German vehicles of the Porsche division now have free reign to drive into other games, such as the upcoming Project Cars 2. An involvement that required Porsche test driver Patrick Long to get his dirty helping Slightly Mad Studios nail the feel of those iconic vehicles.
A Raid may be Destiny at its most Destiniest, but I’ve loved me a good ol-fashioned strike. It’s the middle-ground between the longform structure of a Raid and the more open exploration of the sandbox activities of Destiny. A quick jaunt into an environment fraught with peril and the bullet-spongiest of bosses around. Destiny 2 has a brand new Strike featuring just those elements in the form of the Inverted Spire.
The setup for Countdown in Destiny 2 is easy enough: Like every other mode on offer the action is restrained to 4v4, respawns are limited and you have only one life to give when said revives are spent. The objective? Activate a charge and defend it for around half a minute or defend said charge and defuse any that have been activated. It’s simple, fast and furious. Which is why Countdown is so much damn fun to play.
There’s a new game out on Steam Early Access this week. It’s called Dead Cells and if I were to grab you in an elevator and throw a few buzzwords at your face, I’d call it Dark Souls meets Groundhog Day meets Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

You know what’s a great game? Hotline Miami, a brutally difficult top-down experience which doesn’t hold back. You know what’s a great movie scene? That bit from X-Men 2 where Nightcrawler goes on a teleporting rampage throughout the White House. Wouldn’t it be cool if the two got together with one of the better stick-fighting scenes from Kung Fu Hustle and had a baby? If you’re wondering how such a union would go down, wonder no more: The result of that threesome does exist. It’s called Mr Shifty, and it’s…well it’s damn good fun so far.
Over the years DC Comics has adopted a Freddy Krueger-styled persona for the phobia physician, which reached its peak influence in 2015’s Batman: Arkham Knight. For Injustice 2 though? This Scarecrow is more than ready to throw down with the big boys thanks to plenty of hallucinogenics and the appearance of a bulimic Bane. Bad trip man, bad trip.
Revealed last year during those bizarre celebrations for their iconic fast-talking blue Hedgehog, Project Sonic 2017 now has a name: Sonic Forces. Here’s what it looks like in action. Gotta go faster!
The Wildlands do shine here when you stop to smell the coca leaves. Combined with the weather effects and a gameplay narrative that tasks you with actually exploring the country, Ghost Recon: Wildlands is one of the best environments I’ve ever stepped into. And I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of exploring it.
