Green energy
It's still bloody weird, isn't it? Halo on PlayStation. But this is our new reality, because Halo: Campaign Evolved is out right now on PS5 — and I want to know if you're actually playing it.

Mini Review Kusan: City of Wolves (PS5) - Fast-Paced Carnage in This Tough Hotline Miami-Like
The fast and the furriest
Kusan: City of Wolves' biggest inspiration, Hotline Miami, is evident from the moment I load into the game's prologue, which introduces fast-paced combat that feels like the 2012 classic.
