Is Resident Evil 2’s remake worth its day one price tag? Well here’s what the critics have to say so far.

These days, you can find Final Fantasy VII on a wide range of platforms. In 2019, it’ll be joining Final Fantasy IX and the remasters of of X and X-2 on Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch. So what’s the deal? Why is Final Fantasy VIII given the cold shoulder constantly? The answer, lies in two possible reasons that fans have debated across the internet for ages.

Anthem has a pair of demos out this week and the week after that, kicking off for pre-order and EA Origin Access pals on January 25 and everyone else on February 1. What do you get for your gigabytes? A hopefully solid taste of Bioware back on form and ready to rock with their Destiny-killer that has you piloting advanced warsuits across hostile terrain and lighting up the land with lethal ordinance. Basically, a taste of things to come. Here’s the catch though: That taste may differ from the main course.

This week’s announcement? A bunch of new characters that includes a bunch of ninjas: Boruto Uzumaki, Gaara, Kakashi Hatake and Kaguya Otsutsuki from the Naruto universe. If your AMV senses aren’t tingling yet, that’s a stable of powerful fan favourite ninjas (and Boruto) that’ll be joining Uzumaki Naruto in action.

In the latest Bungie blog, Destiny franchise director Luke Smith penned a letter on the game and it’s “bright future”. “In the short-term, we're continuing to build the content we’ve promised for the Annual Pass,” Smith wrote.

There are still those who are willing to get up at the crack of dusk and boot up their console to find him for you. People who’ll risk digital life and limb to let you know if Xur is selling a treasure or rubbish. I just so happen to be one of those people. Maybe you’re stuck at work and can only log in later tonight. In that case: Where is Xur?

If you were expecting Ride 3 to be the perfect fusion of quality and quantity of content, then I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news for you: An adequate sequel that has more bugs in it than your helmet visor after a breakfast run, almost no soul to its racing spirit and the bare minimum of fun spread throughout its sporadic modes. The third time is not the charm in Ride 3.
