  Clear winner

  Remember when console manufacturers had a thing for translucent tech? Whether it was controllers or the consoles themselves, having a sort-of see-through shell allowed you to get a peek under the hood — and it looked cool at the same time.

  News Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Is Now the Best-Selling Game in the Series

  Aced it

  The Ace Combat series is one that remains fairly niche despite having been around for more than two decades. These arcadey fighter jet action games are beloved by fans for their cheesy stories and fun dogfight gameplay, and the latest iteration is no exception.

  News Assassin's Creed Valhalla's New Patch Has Introduced a Bad Face-Breaking Bug

  A bad case of lockjaw

The aforementioned update focusses on fixes for a huge number of (relatively minor) issues, but somehow, it's also managed to break the game's facial animation system. It's never easy, is it? The...
