Review by Matt S. I do wish Sony produced more games like Patapon these days. As a publisher, Sony’s energy and investment have pivoted hard towards the big blockbusters, and given that Spider-Man, Death Stranding, Uncharted and The Last Of Us sell consoles, it’s hard to begrudge the publisher for…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Patapon 2, one of the classics of the PSP era, has been remastered for PlayStation 4, and it’s a reminder of just how creative Sony can be when it lets loose. Patapon 2 Remastered is a brilliant blend of strategy and rhythm game, with some stunning…

Disney’s cinema efforts are…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Sony has definitely changed its publishing and development focus over the last couple of years, going from a company taking on all kind of indie and niche stuff to go with its marquee titles to becoming almost entirely blockbuster-orientated. In this video I muse on the…
Read MoreReview by Lindsay M. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I love a surprise game drop. And that’s just what Sony did with Erica, premiering the launch trailer and releasing the game at the same time (during the opening of Gamescom early last week). The game is…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Death Stranding – a game that many of us assumed would only see the light of day sometime deep into the PlayStation 5’s life span, has the surprise announcement today that it’s going to be Sony’s big holiday title this year; it launches on November 8. …
