Last Week on GameGrin

If this was a cheap Sci-Fi programme, then we'd probably open up with something like this:

Last week, our intrepid heroes were left dangling over a precipice in their escape from the custard monsters of Charon. They have lost their sonic pulsar rifles and only have a teaspoon and 4 litres of fresh chicken stock to defend themselves, find out how they fare in this weeks' exciting episode. 

Of course, we're not a cheap Sci-Fi programme, we're a serious online gaming site, so instead we shall open by saying: Here's some interesting things that you might have missed over the last week on GameGrin.

Reviews and Previews

There were some great games to look at last week. Reece took a look at the b-movie styled shooter Earth Defense Force 4.1, Calum played Dying Light: The Following, and Tom reviewed both parts one and two of Sorcery! and Emsey pretended that she had some friends by playing The Sims 4: Get Together. In the same week, Alex previewed the survival game The Solus Project, Andrew finally got round to trying Kill the Bad Guy and Ben played the euphemistically-titled Hero and Daughter+.

News

The week got off to a great start for fans of the Tales series of RPGs. Bandai Namco gave us a bumper crop of new screenshots to share with you.

The first screenshots for the Lovecraft inspired Call of Cthulu were revealed. The official video game of the classic tale is looking as dark and broody as you might expect

Bad news for fans of treasure hunter extraordinaire Nathan Drake. The fourth Uncharted game has been delayed by two weeks.

Tom gave us the lowdown on the latest Nintendo Direct. Among other gems, we saw the first screenshots of a new Paper Mario game, a new outing for Kirby on the 3DS and seven new amiibo.

As the week drew to a close, Psyonix announced the Rocket League Championships. The official esports tournament of the insane online game are to be run in collaboration with streaming site Twitch.

Everyone loves cute animals, and here at GameGrin, we're no exception. If any demonstration were needed of this, then Tom's countdown of his top five dogs in videogames would be it.
