Feature Days Gone - Why Sony Bend's PS4 Open Worlder Is Essential a Year Later
The art of support
Days Gone and Death Stranding are proof that 2019 was a divisive year for PlayStation 4 exclusives.

Soapbox Why the Harry Potter RPG Is My Most Anticipated PS5 Game
Spellbound
The fact that we’ve reached 2020 without a genuine Harry Potter RPG on consoles is as dumbfounding as Hermione Granger marrying Ron Weasley. J.K. Rowling’s iconic wizarding world has been a huge part of popular culture for over two decades now, but outside of a couple turn-based titles for the Game Boy Color, we’re yet to receive...

Talking Point Can PS5 Make Sony the King of Indie Games Again?
The small time
It’s a hazy memory these days, but once upon a time the PlayStation 4 was colloquially known as the IndieStation 4 among some video game enthusiasts.

Feature Which Studios Could Sony Realistically Acquire?
Expanding the exclusive output

Going further
You could forgive Sony for offering more of the same with the PlayStation 5 – after all, its current generation console is one of the most successful platforms of all time.

Soapbox I Wish I Was Growing Up with Games Now
Nostalgia is a helluva drug
It’s so easy to look back at games with rose-tinted glasses, I think. I wouldn’t change my childhood gaming experiences for the world; my jaw hit the floor when I first saw Crash Bandicoot’s N.

Feature DriveClub Delisted and Taken Offline - Let's Talk About One of PS4's Best Racers
Evolution indeed
DriveClub has had quite the journey, hasn't it? The ill-fated Evolution Studios produced this equally ill-fated PlayStation 4 exclusive racer, and to say it's had a rough time of it would be an understatement.

Fixing the future
Isn’t it funny how fast we forget?
