Review | Dragon Quest Heroes review
Subslime.
Editor's note: After a short delay Dragon Quest Heroes has made its way out of Japan and is releasing in the UK and EU this week. Here's Simon Parkin's original review, originally published in April, which we feel still reflects the game in its new, localised state.

Feature | Watch: How many of his voices can Nolan North do in 60 seconds?
Charted territory.
Being the stand-up gent that he is, Nolan North was up for pretty much every silly video idea we put to him when we met at Sony's UK headquarters last month. We chatted about his voice acting and performance capture for the Uncharted series, we talked briefly about his role as the Ghost in Destiny, and the last thing we managed to squeeze into a twenty minute slot (apart from his excellent Vine collaboration with Ian) was a quickfire challenge where North would attempt to do as many of his past voices, as listed on his IMDB page, as he could within sixty seconds.

Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone adds Taxman to sting money exploiters
"Make no mistake, you cannot evade this."
Remember that Witcher 3 money exploit in starting area White Orchard where you could kill cows for their hides, meditate for a couple of hours, and then do it all again? It was patched and fixed brilliantly with a grotesque cow boss who shows up if you try it on, but that's not the point. Point is, if you did it, or any money exploit like it, you may be in for a fine - an in-game fine.

The marvellously malicious Darkest Dungeon gets a release date
A lovely little game of stress and disease and death.
What do Tapeworm, Dacnomania and The Red Plague all have in common? That's right: Darkest Dungeon! The illustrated, side-on, turn-based role-playing game that's steeped in filth, disease, death and all things grim and grimy. It's wonderful. And it now has a full, out-of-Early-Access release date: 19th January 2016.

Review | Sublevel Zero review
We all float down here.
Of all the pioneering PC games of the early 1990s, when 3D accelerated graphics cards drove gameplay into new dimensions, Parallax Software's 1994 hit Descent stands out as a beloved title that got left behind.

Video | Watch: Star Wars Battlefront is a bit shallow (and that's alright)
Hoth or not.
No matter how many times I keep hammering away at the game on my PS4 dashboard it seems the Star Wars Battlefront beta is very much done and dusted, which is something of a shame. Opinion's been cleanly split on Dice's multiplayer-only foray into the much-loved space opera's universe, but I think I enjoyed its shallow thrills more than most. Yes it's all a bit dumb, but wasn't that always going to be the way when it comes to something as mass-market as Star Wars? Battlefield's bullets might win out over lasers and lightsabers, but I'm sure every one of us wants a bit of pew-pew fun every now and then.

Feature | The wolf in Snake's clothing: Metal Gear's twisted hero
Is Kojima's stealth series gaming's Fight Club?
There's a lot of reasons to be disappointed in Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain's conclusion. In many ways, the game feels blatantly unfinished with plenty of plot threads left dangling and a twist that's haphazardly introduced when the game's final mission seemingly arbitrarily gets added to your docket. But one reason lots of fans are crying foul of Konami is because The Phantom Pain doesn't concretely complete Snake/Big Boss's arch into infamy.
