This is actually a really entertaining and...

Feature What We Want From Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and How It Needs to Improve on Remake
Don't believe in fate
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has been officially announced, and it's already proving to be a popular talking point — perhaps as you'd expect, given the events of Final Fantasy VII Remake.

Mini Review Resident Evil 3 (PS5) - Disappointing Remake Looks and Runs Much Better
Nemesis Inferno
Ah, Resident Evil 3. A PS5 version isn't going to restore all that cut content, but at least the game looks and runs better on Sony's new system. Just like Resident Evil 2, Capcom hasn't exactly pushed the boat out in terms of enhancing its remake of the underappreciated 1999 title. However, there's little to really complain about:...

You could eat a lot of chilli dogs in that time
As a part of IGN's ongoing coverage of the upcoming Sonic Frontiers, we've learned a lot about the title, and we even got a new term to add to our gaming lexicon: "Open Zone".
