Hardware strong, software not
Sony managed to sell an enormous 2.6 million PS5 consoles in Japan last year, representing a colossal 124 per cent increase year-over-year.

News Dragon's Dogma 2's Sphinx Poses Compelling Gameplay Riddles on PS5
Riddles in the dark
Dragon's Dogma 2 is looking like a fairly radical departure from standard single-player RPG fare. One such example is a nightmarish quest giver, Capcom's depiction of the classical Sphinx, which will require the player to solve riddles with their actions rather than words. As part of IGN's ongoing First coverage of the game,...
News Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown NPC Sneaks Through with Text-to-Speech Audio at Launch
Not so fast buddy
Ubisoft seems to have a bonafide hit on its hands with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, critically at least, and we awarded Sargon's latest adventure an 8/10 in our own review. But as slick as the game is, it looks like one slipped by the goalie, as Ubisoft confirms the game will ship with a specific NPC still using placeholder...

Suicide mission?
Final previews for Rocksteady's upcoming action game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice, were muted at best, with the knives coming out at many mainstream outlets.
