The barebones of the PlayStation Network have finally returned, such as the ability to play online, but there are still a few pieces of the PlayStation 3’s online service that have yet to return. One of the more notable features that is currently missing is the PlayStation Store, and PS3 owners have been unable to purchase DLC, videos, or games for the better part of a month. It seems that the PlayStation Store will be back online very soon though, according to a recent notice that Sony sent out to developers and publishing partners....

It’s time to celebrate another year of Pokémon GO. Sure other games released this year. Death Stranding finally came and made players ponder the emotional importance of human connection and product placement. Pokémon Sword and Shield gave fans their first true taste of console-based Pokémon (to mixed effect). Even Rick and Morty infiltrated the gaming world via Dungeons & Dragons. But Pokémon GO withstood it all to remain a powerhouse of mobile gaming....

Regional Pokémon have always been a feature in Pokémon GO, although the popularity among players has varied. On one hand, it encourages people to travel, which is what Pokémon GO is all about. On the other hand, usually that means travelling down to the park and getting some exercise, not going to the other side of the world. It doesn’t seem like regional Pokémon are going anywhere, since Niantic has recently added regional Pokémon in eggs, including the long-anticipated Mime Jr....

Is anyone looking to trade? If so, I’d love to trade my Bidoof for your Zacian, Zamazenta, Dialga, Palkia, or $15,000 in cash! Let me know if you’re interested! Teehee! Bye!

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. Last week, Den of Geek popped along to the opening of the new Microsoft Store in London’s Oxford Circus. There, we were lucky enough to try out Project xCloud, the upcoming Microsoft game streaming platform that will allow you to play Xbox One games on mobile devices. Two floors up within the totally swanky shop, a few members of staff were overseeing a table....

Sony has lifted the wraps off its PlayStation Plus lineup for April, with Conan Exiles and The Surge soon available to download for free on PlayStation 4. If that seems a bit lacking, well, just remember that Sony is no longer offering PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita games as part of its monthly freebies. Instead, you get two PS4 games for your PS Plus subscription. Conan Exiles launched back in 2018 for PS4, PC, and Xbox One, and takes place during the fictional Hyborian Age....

Big changes are coming to the PlayStation Plus service in 2019. Sony has announced that they will no longer be adding new PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita games to monthly free titles that are given away to subscribers of the service. Sony has revealed that the PlayStation Plus service will only be adding PlayStation 4 games to the monthly lineup of free titles starting March 8th, 2019.

Shipments of PS5 consoles to the US in September had a 400 percent increase year-over-year, according to a financial analyst. David Gibson, senior analyst at MST Financial, shared a graph on Twitter showing the imports to the US per month from June 2021 onwards, with a huge spike during last month. Gibson added he believes some of the stock will go towards the launch of God of War Ragnarök, which makes a lot of sense....

If you caught our recent coverage on QuakeCon at Home, you’ll know that Bethesda is gearing up for a busy weekend. It’s unfortunate that Bethesda’s iconic annual event has to celebrate its 25-year anniversary as a digital showcase, but perhaps that makes it more special for those watching at home. One way fans can get into the mindset for it though, is with the QuakeCon GOG sale going on right now....

A longtime map in Rainbow Six Siege, Oregon is a classic and a favorite of many Siege players. Oregon has a really unique feel, and though it doesn’t seem overly large at first glance, there are a lot of little nuances involved that are going to take quite a bit to fully understand. Coordination and diagnosing exactly how the opposing team has set up are both crucial here more than in a lot of other maps....

Many players are interested to learn about the rank distribution in Overwatch. It is one of the games that still has a massive player base. Rank distribution is nothing but the ranks of all the players that play the competitive mode of the game.

Persona 5 helped to propel the series to new levels of mainstream attention, but Atlus has always paid reverence to the previous two Persona games, as was the case when the company released a goodbye video for the cast of Persona 4 on the same day that Persona 5 was released. The first two Persona games were similar to the mainline entries in the Shin Megami Tensei series and are rarely referenced by the later games in the series....

It’s no secret that Capcom likes to make remakes. In fact, the company has outright stated in the past that a big part of its strategy is to pad its releases with remakes and remasters. Considering this and the fact that Resident Evil is one of Capcom’s biggest franchises, it’s no surprise that there have been a number of RE remakes and remasters over the years. However, those hoping to see a Code: Veronica remake should keep their expectations in check....

An e-mail chain revealing that a number of female employees at Microsoft have been sexually harassed has understandably forced the company to take action.

There are still people out there who think it is okay to treat people differently due to their gender....

A game featuring Sonic the way God intended is exactly what the world needs right now, and this week we got that....

2018 was an eventful year for Riot Games — the makers of League of Legends — and for all the wrong reasons. Last August, after an investigation by Kotaku into the company’s internal workings and allegations of sexism and discrimination, the proverbial floodgates opened. Riot attempted to stem the tide, such as hosting a PAX West event for women and non-binary attendees. Things did not go as planned, with Reddit causing a stir and Riot’s own employees making unprofessional remarks....
