February 2019 was the last month that PS Plus Subscribers received free PS3 and PS Vita games via the program, with there being no alternative to replace them immediately offered. For a whole year then, gamers would receive two free PS4 games every month, and with the quality of these games on the rise, there was little to bicker about. February 2020’s PS Plus games are a perfect example, as they included The Sims 4, the BioShock Collection, and a VR game, meaning it was technically 5 games instead of 2....

A nifty feature of PS VR is the Processor Unit which can pass through the signal from your PS4 to your TV, meaning you won’t need to rejig your cables every time you switch between VR and normal PS4 gaming.

Sony has released a minor new system software update for PS4. System update 4.05 aims to “improve the quality of the system performance”, which, if you were to ask me, sounds a lot like another one of those classic PS4 stability updates.

PUBG Corp knows its game’s gunplay is one of the best in any shooter or battle royale....

Quantum Break was pushed back to 2016 to help stagger out Xbox One’s AAA releases, not because of any hold-ups in production, creative director Sam Lake has revealed. Speaking to MCV, Lake explained that the delay actually “came from Microsoft’s end.

Back in the ’90s, the Neo-Geo was home to arguably the best arcade games money could buy. The main reason the console never took off was due to its prohibitive price: $650 for the console. Games weren’t much better, costing anywhere from $200 to $300 per cartridge. This was because the machine was basically an arcade cabinet, but clearly a kid making money from chores couldn’t afford SNK’s console. This high barrier to entry created a scenario where a lot of otherwise amazing games went overlooked for decades....

Some people like to charge straight into battle, guns blazing, to take out as many foes as they can before going down for the final count. I totally get that. It’s cathartic to run into the fray like a madman and cause mayhem in that short, glorious moment of time. Others, however, prefer to take their time to plan their attack, to savor the strategy of battle and see their cunning plans come to fruition....

Niantic launched PokéStop and Gym contributions this week, then quickly disabled the feature due to an “overwhelming response.” It might be the holiday season, but that hasn’t stopped Niantic from keeping extra busy rolling out new features on Pokémon GO.
