[HTML1] If there’s one next-gen game that falls squarely into the ‘you’ve got to play it to get it’ category, it’s the Xbox One launch title Ryse: Son of Rome. One might have thought that the developer behind it (Crytek, the minds behind Crysis) would be enough to make it one of the Xbox One’s most coveted launch titles, but criticism has persisted. Hopefully, the latest trailers focusing on the fiction crafted around the Roman soldier Marius Titus - the titular ‘Son of Rome’ - and highlighting the mythology and savagery spun throughout the game will help ease some fears....

As the transfer market exploded around them in the summer of 2017, the Reds invested just £36.9 million in a man who had previously flopped in England at Chelsea. That deal has been made to look quite the bargain, with a 36-goal haul – including a Golden Boot-leading 28 efforts in the Premier League – seeing Salah set a remarkable standard at Anfield. Comparisons have been made to Barcelona and Real Madrid icons Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, with it suggested that Salah could soon be challenging their duopoly of World Player of the Year prizes....

A lot was expected of Yacht Club’s title, with a list of influences including some of the most well-loved games of all time.

Once they hop into the actual “game,” however, things turn into a mixed bag....

[HTML1] Good things come to those who wait, and while we use the term ‘good’ loosely in this context, the first announcement trailer for Saints Row 4 has arrived. It may be brief, but the trailer proves Volition is intent on delivering the same blend of laughs, carnage, fireworks and outrageous game design that made Saints Row: The Third a success. With superpowers pulled right out of inFAMOUS, Prototype and Crackdown, and an attitude (and love of dance) that can only be found in this series, it looks like Saints Row 4 will be keeping fans happy....
