While it’s a lovely fashion accessory that tells us exactly which gang he belongs to, of course that Rook topped cane that Assassin’s Creed Syndicate (opens in new tab)’s Jacob Frye has been swinging about is actually a sword. Ubi wasn’t terribly forthcoming about the cane but Amazon (opens in …

Did you catch sight of that little fold-out-machine-gun looking thing in the last Batman: Arkham Knight (opens in new tab) trailer? Don’t worry, Batman hasn’t finally dropped his “no kills, just concussions” policy – it’s actually a high-tech Disruptor that will mess with enemies without splattering blood all over the …

With Assassin’s Creed Syndicate (opens in new tab)’s Evie, we’ve finally got the first female assassin to feature in a main Assassin’s Creed game. Aveline de Grandpre and Shao Jun have led spin off titles previously but Evie Frye will be the first female hero to join the ranks of …

Dying Light is getting some one-day-only April Fools DLC, focusing mainly on the ability to punch zombies so hard they briefly discover the joys of flight. Billed as “something unusual” the 24 hour undead freak out is being explained as some contaminated Antizin (the in-game anti-viral that stops you going …

Today sees the release of Forza Horizon 2 presents Fast & Furious, a condensed nugget of fuel-injected beauty from Playground Games. It’s also that increasingly common thing, a standalone DLC pack, derived from the game it uses for its name, but different enough to warrant opening it up to a …

It’s never a good sign when you get stuck during a tutorial. Here, the introductory text is telling us to use the left analogue stick to roll and pitch our vehicle in mid-air. ‘The car’s response improves if you activate the jet or air brake’, we’re informed. Hang on a …
