Returnal to sender
MLB The Show 21’s inclusion with Game Pass didn’t hinder full-price sales anywhere near as much as expected, as the game topped the April 2021 NPD best-sellers list, setting a new series record in the process.

News Mad Co-Op Title KeyWe Brings an Animal-Staffed Post Office to PS5, PS4 in August
Watch the bonkers new trailer
We rather like the look of KeyWe on PlayStation 5 and PS4, but we must admit, this trailer is ridiculous. The game sees two players take control of kiwi birds in charge of running a postal service, and there's quite a bit to take in. You'll be typing letters, sorting post, and meeting various animals as you try to keep...

Reminder Returnal's Selene Costume Available Now for Sackboy: A Big Adventure as Free DLC
Crash lands today
Returnal and Sackboy: A Big Adventure are two completely different games.

We'll let you work out which is which, but in any case, they're pretty far apart on the...

Disrespect your elders
Abuse of the elderly is, as a rule, generally discouraged.

News Don't Hold Your Breath for Bethesda's Starfield on PS5, PS4
Dead dream
It’s been the saga of the past six or so months, and Microsoft has already made fairly clear that it will not be sharing Bethesda’s riches after podding out $7.5 billion for the publisher.

News Hood: Outlaws & Legends to Fix Long Lobby Waits on PS5, PS4
Says there's a "high player count"
Our biggest criticism of Hood: Outlaws & Legends in our review was how long it can take to get into a match. In our appraisal, we suggested that the prolonged matchmaking periods – which can run up to 10 minutes in our experience – could be down to a lack of players, but game director Andrew Willans has...
