‘Ghost of Tsushima’ looks like a playable Kurosawa film
‘Ghost of Tsushima’ is a PS4-exclusive samurai action/adventure game from Infamous developer Sucker Punch Productions that captures the look and feel of classic samurai media, like the films of Akira Kurosawa, more accurately than any video game we’ve ever seen from our hands-off impressions at E3.
‘Starlink: Battle for Atlas’ hands-on preview
‘Starlink: Battle for Atlas’ is a smart next step for toys-to-life, adding interaction to the toys themselves. In practice, however, it didn’t necessarily enhance the gameplay enough to justify all the additional expense that the genre entails. Cool spaceship toys don’t buy themselves.
‘Cultist Simulator’ shows there’s more to Lovecraft than tentacles
Cthulhu-creator HP Lovecraft’s influence can be found all over pop culture, and especially in games. Where most other media has reduced his work to a style, however, Alexis Kennedy’s new ‘Cultist Simulator’ captures the spirit of Lovecraft’s work better than anything we’ve ever played.

‘Heavy Rain’ is steeped in mood, light on player interaction
David Cage has reined in a lot of his past excess with the new Detroit: Become Human, but his serial killer noir thriller 'Heavy Rain' looks more like The Room than anything else, in retrospect. The game’s lack of meaningful interaction for players is a flaw that’s even harder to tolerate today.
Venetian ‘Rialto’ payload map is now live in ‘Overwatch’
A new payload map, Rialto, has gone live in Blizzard's hero shooter Overwatch. Set in Venice, Italy, players first experienced a nighttime version of Rialto in the recent Retribution co-op event.

‘God of War’: How to help Kratos conquer every Muspelheim trial
Kratos faces all manner of challenges across the nine Norse realms in God of War, but when you're looking to cut out the puzzles and just focus on proving your worth in the battlefield, the volcanic realm of Muspelheim is the place to go. We've compiled tips for each of the different challenges, sorted by arena.
‘God of War’ gets myth right with the liberties it takes
The new ‘God of War’ makes the stories of Norse myth its own, and in so doing is more faithful to the source material than a literal retelling of the Norse gods’ stories.
