News by Lindsay M. It’s time to finally learn more about what Sony’s PlayStation 5 will offer! On the PS Blog but mostly via a YouTube video, lead system architect Mark Cerny is here to explain how the PS5 will “shape the future of games,” according to PlayStation. A lot…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It’s particularly hard to review sports titles – especially those that have annual iterations. Just what do you talk about when the improvements from one to the next are largely tweaks around the edges, and veterans are going to either buy the game or not before…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. I do indeed like sports games, which I know surprises some people given what I generally play and talk about, but I do make a habit of keeping an eye on most of the major sports games properties out there, and of those, Sony’s MLB: The…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. At this point, I feel like a broken record. Across the podcast, social media, and reviews such as the one I wrote of Link’s Awakening on the Nintendo Switch, I’ve found myself consistently railing against what companies have been doing with remakes.
