What is Pokémon Legends Arceus? Good question. With just a little over two weeks until its full release, this is by far the most secretive the Pokémon Company has been about one of its core series games, at least in our memory.We have, finally, been treated to an advanced look at the latest overview trailer, however, and that gives us just a little bit more of an idea as to what this game is really all about. It’s still a hands-off preview, though, still just the same trailer that’s been released to the public today, and there were no opportunities…

Falling block puzzlers are the colourful, sugary, family-friendly games that often model what it’s like to be buried alive. Tetris panic, the screen filled up and the music racing: isn’t that fear you feel at this moment a little too primal to be the result of a simple game you’re about to lose? Isn’t there some kind of deeper sinking feeling as you mess up a round of Lumines and there’s simply no space for anything else to fit on the grid? Okay, maybe this is just me. But anyway: if you find falling block puzzlers a little claustrophobic, Shovel…

Following reports earlier this week that Lucid Games, the UK developer behind Destruction All-Stars, was no longer working on a new Twisted Metal game for Sony as previously claimed, a new report has suggested it’s now being handled by first-party PlayStation studio Firesprite Games, which only recently saw the director of MotorStorm join its ranks.Word of a new entry in the Twisted Metal series first emerged last September, when GamesBeat journalist Jeff Grubb claimed the project was in early development. Shortly after, reports suggested Destruction All-Stars developer Lucid Games had landed the gig and that this latest instalment would be…
A listing for an Xbox version of Shadow Man: Remastered, Nightdive Studios’ enhanced version of Acclaim’s much-loved 1999 action-adventure, has appeared on the Microsoft Store, suggesting it’ll arrive alongside the previously announced PlayStation version later this week.Shadow Man – which was based on Valiant Comics’ Shadowman series and originally released for N64, PSone, Dreamcast, and PC back in 1999 – charts the adventures of Michael LeRoi, the latest in a line of voodoo warriors all adopting the Shadow Man moniker. The fondly remembered video game adaptation reimagines the comic book character’s battle against the forces of darkness as a blend…
With the release of a new PS5 update that finally allows you to move PS5 games to external USB storage, we thought it would be wise to take a quick look at some of the best external hard drives for PS5 game storage.Before we get into it, if you’ve already purchased an external hard drive for PS4, you should have no issues using one of these for your PS5 as well.
