I think most people would agree that having old games available on current hardware is generally a good thing—not just from the perspective of preserving the medium’ history, but also just for the sake of allowing people to revisit old favourites and new audiences to discover those classics for the …

Concrete Genie might be one of my favourite games of the year so far. In an industry that’s obsessed with content, it’s so refreshing to play a game that takes a simple idea and delivers on it beautifully, without trying to be more than what it needs to be. And …
Blood and Truth wants nothing more than to be an interactive, virtual reality spin on on the classic cockney gangster film. Set against a gritty London backdrop, it sees you caught up in an escalating gang war—with all the high-octane stunts and wild setpieces that come with that. The good …
Everybody’s Golf pretty much has the arcade-style golf game corner locked down. With developer Clap Hanz’s close ties to Sony, it was only a matter of time before we saw a PlayStation VR spin on the series. Everybody’s Golf VR perfectly carries the solid golf systems at the series’ heart …
