News Sony Doesn't Think It Talked About PS Now Enough
"We've actually achieved a lot"

News Blood & Truth's Grime Soundtrack Gets a Vinyl Release
Scratch and shoot
Vinyl is back in vogue, and any game with a half-decent soundtrack tends to get a record release these days.

News Watch Dogs Legion Sounds Like a Wildly Ambitious Sequel
You can play as, well, anyone
We really liked Watch Dogs 2, and honestly would have been satisfied with a sequel akin to that set in modern London.

You'd be Mads not to buy it
Death Stranding may not have official box art, but it does have a release date.

News New Darksiders Game to Go in a Different Direction
Reveal at E3 2019, apparently
You’ll know E3 2019 is right around the corner when we start using the ‘Leaks’ and ‘Rumours’ article tags with regularity. Case in point: a new Darksiders game has just been "announced".

News Good News? ANTHEM's Cataclysm Event Is Still Coming
BioWare not done yet
We were going to start this article with a hearty helping of snark, but to be honest we just feel sorry for ANTHEM these days. The game may have sold a substantial number of copies out of the gate, but frankly it’s been a disaster, and there’s no use in us rubbing further salt in the wound. If you did happen to buy it –...

News Two PS4 Exclusives in US PS4 All-Time Best Sellers List
Can you guess what they are?
Sony’s exclusive game has been strong this generation, but we all know that third-parties rule the roost.

But there’s good news for those of you planning to tune in from 1PM PT on 10th...

News Legendary PlayStation Exclusive Journey Launches on PC Next Week
Mountain climber
Sony’s been very accommodating with PC releases of late, licensing out so-called “second party” titles like Heavy Rain and Flower to different publishers in order to get them on non-PlayStation storefronts.
