GAMES

OUT THIS MONTH

SEPTEMBER

SPIDER-MAN GENRE: ACT/ADV PLATFORM: PS4 RELEASE: 07/09/18 MULTIPLAYER: NO

All your dreams of swinging around New York City as the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man are about to come true. Insomniac's DNA blends seamlessly with that of the Marvel Comics' superhero, making for a thoroughly enjoyable escapade. You'll take the reins as an experienced Peter Parker/Spider-Man, which makes a nice change from having to learn the ropes and see Uncle Ben die all over again, and helps to throw you straight into the deep end. Combat is fast-paced, web swinging is inspired, and there are enough

collectables to grab to keep you busy for hours on end. Time to swing into action.

Did you know? You'll be able to play as Mary Jane, as well as Peter Parker.

Lara's back for one final round in Shadow of the Tomb Raider . She has new movement and traversal mechanics, and this is her most brutal adventure yet. Out September 14. SHADOW OF THE TOMB RAIDER

DRAGON QUEST XI

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age (bit of a mouthful) is coming to the PS4 and PC this month, with new characters and strategic combat in a beautifully detailed world. Out September 4.

Hockey doesn't have as large a following here as it does Stateside, so the NHL games are probably your best bet at getting as close to the action as possible without paying for a ringside ticket. Out September 14. NHL 19

Valkyria Chronicles 4 gets its worldwide release on PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC this month, continuing the strategy game series and adding the new Grenadier class. Out September 25. VALKYRIA CHRONICLES 4

FIFA 19

This year, Australia's own Ben Simmons – NBA Rookie of the Year – graces the cover, and that should be reason enough to pick up a copy when the game launches September 11. NBA 2K19

Another year, another FIFA. We could say anything about this and it wouldn't stop you from getting your football-loving gloves on it. This one's the best-looking yet. Out September 25.

Cayde-6 is dead. Could it really be true?! You'll have to find out for yourself in Destiny 2 's latest update, Forsaken , featuring the ridiculously fun new multiplayer mode, Gambit. Out September 9. DESTINY 2: FORSAKEN

Run out of fun cardboard projects to build for your Nintendo Switch? Nintendo Labo Kit 3 releases this month, with new vehicles to build and enjoy. Out September 14. NINTENDO LABO VEHICLE KIT
