With the Resident Evil 2 remake (opens in new tab) en route, we spend this episode of RadioRadar+ laying out a critical aspect of the game that’s simply not negotiable in Capcom’s next re-do. We also make up a wildly varied list of gems that don’t deserve to languish in …

I was 14 when Metal Gear Solid (opens in new tab) came out. I bought it because it was about robots, cyborgs, and a gruff, cynical protagonist. I bought it because it offered a world full of intrigue, subterfuge and espionage. I bought it because the demo let me use …

Don’t tempt me, Frodo! There’s nothing quite like a cool new concept to turn the head of an otherwise jaded gamer. In a world of samey spectacle and me-too marketing, the original idea is king, and always very, very welcome. Though it is a double-edged sword. Failing to follow through …

This isn’t a traditional Halo (opens in new tab) game. The series has moved on for a new generation of consoles, and you need to move with it. Accept that, and there’s loads to love in the game’s new story mode, which is entirely playable in co-op. Oh, and it’s …

If there’s one thing Gearbox does better than anyone else, it’s building RPG-shooters that look like they’ve jumped straight out of a comic book. Borderlands has become the studio’s international calling card, so if you’re going to build another IP that involves co-operative shooting in a cartoon setting, how do …

If you pay close attention in Bloodborne, you learn that a werewolf’s ultimate weakness isn’t quicksilver or wolfsbane – it’s doors. Specifically, it’s doorframes that are too big for their hulking bodies to fit through. You can stand on the other side and comfortably hack them to death without any …

Journey (opens in new tab) is in a weird place on PS4. Its transition to Sony’s new hardware very much mirrors the experience of its nameless protagonist… everything within the game looks very familiar, but the way it’s actually viewed on this second outing is very, very different. Many people …
