Drawn To Death is a ridiculously over the top arena shooter from David Jaffe (of Twisted Metal/God of War fame) and his team, that takes place inside the notebook of a teenage kid, in which his all of their sketches and doodles have come to life and want to kill each other.

The art style in Drawn to Death is fantastic – the kid who has created this doodled world in his notebook is obviously a talented artist (and possibly a little unhinged). It’s a mesmerising world full of giant monsters, vibrant characters, crazy battlegrounds and a truck load of violence. The games signature 4 player battles are fast paced and fun affairs, with plenty of verticality and over the top weaponry – from guitar battle axes to fire breathing dragons.

With their fun mix of fantasy and uber-violence, these demented doodles look set to offer plenty of chaotic multiplayer action – a beautiful symphony of ink, paper and blood.

Street Fighter V Beta sign ups are now open on PS4! During an eventful and surprising (Shenmue 3!!!) E3 presentation, Sony showed off Capcom’s brand new fighter coming to PS4 and PC in 2016, with PS4 Beta testers able to get their hands on it next month.

The Street Fighter V E3 trailer really impresses with gorgeous visuals and fluid gameplay – Ryu and co. really have never looked so good. Six characters have been confirmed so far – the recently announced Cammy and Birdie join Ryu, M. Bison, Nash and Chun Li – but Capcom will no doubt roll out a steady trickle of additions to the roster over the coming months.

Street Fighter V will be coming to PC too and will have a Beta some time this Fall, but you’ll have to pre-order the game on Steam for the privilege. It’s a fair bet that Super, Ultra and Super-Dooper iterations will be rolled out over the years to come, but as it stands Street Fighter V is poised to be the undefeated champion of the current generation of fighters. Can you sign up for the Beta? Shoryu-can!

Beta Sign Ups for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege are now live for PC, PS4 and Xbox One!

As we mentioned during the Alpha, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege is a very strategic team based FPS that pits terrorists against counter-terrorists in intense sieges where (thanks to the procedural environmental destruction) any point can be a breach point.

Matches pit five attackers versus five defenders, with the defenders able to fortify their position and the attackers attempting to infiltrate their stronghold. If the attackers had to funnel through set corridors and doorways it’s be far too easy to pick them off, but thanks to the fantastic environmental destruction capabilities of the game, any wall, ceiling or floor can be breached. Once the attackers strike, encounters are up close and personal, with tight spaces making for intense close quarters combat situations.

Rainbow Six Siege really is a fantastic looking game, with explosive combat and tactical gameplay that makes every game into a tense and thrilling scenario. A true tactical shooter, where strategic improvisation and smart preparation will affect the game just as much as your skills on the trigger finger.

Tom Clancy’s The Division is Ubisoft’s highly anticipated third person open-world multiplayer RPG shooter set in the streets of New York, in a world that’s turned to a chaotic post-apocalypric landscape after the release of a deadly weaponized virus.

It’s a fantastic looking game, capable of jaw dropping levels of fidelity thanks to the SnowDrop engine that it’s utilising. Tom Clancy’s The Division has suffered a few delays in it’s development, but after the buggy mess that was Assassins Creed Unity, Ubisoft will be keen not to let this one out the gate until it’s truly ready.

The Tom Clancy’s The Division Beta starts in December and the beta sign-up page is now live for PC, PS4 and XB1, so players will finally be able to experience this great looking social shooter.

N++, the latest fast paced, speed-run orientated precision platformer in the N series, is coming to PS4, along with a level editor, level sharing capabilities and a wide range of improvements.

N++ is the third in the series of N games, and plans to up the ante, with more color, more enemies, more variety, deathmatches, co-op and races, as well as level editing and level sharing abilities. To be in with a chance of getting access to N++ weeks before everyone else, and helping the devs test the level sharing capabilities, you simply have to sign up and answer a few quiz questions about the N games.

The Beta will take place on the PS4 and is open to players who have a North American Playstation Network Account, but not region locked, so ardent fans can create a US account and still sign up for the Beta (there are plenty of guides about how to do this on the net.)

Power Drive 2000 is an amazing sci-fi arcade racer set in a neon filled 80’s vision of the year 2000, complete with an awesome synth wave soundtrack and a ridiculously fast talking car.

Coming to PC and PS4, Power Drive 2000 is steeped in 80’s awesomeness, with classic Outrun-style gameplay, neon and wire-frame filled visuals, and a soundtrack straight out of a Jerry Bruckheimer film. It nails the atmosphere so well that you could very easily imagine playing it in a dimly lit corner of Flynn’s Arcade (albeit with far better graphics than than they could manage back then).

Strap in and enjoy the ride in this wonderful love letter to 80’s arcade racer, with a soundtrack so radical, gameplay so powerful, and graphics so neony that it will send you back to the (80’s) future. Highly recommended retro infused racing.
