So, earlier this month, Sony rolled out a UI update for the PS5. Its main feature is a customizable home screen that’ll display different things based on how users are interested in seeing and how they arrange it. However, it seems it’s also come with the unwanted addition of ads in a manner somewhat similar…

It Seems More than Half of PS’s Live Service Games Failed
A little while ago, we learned that PlayStation (Sony) wanted to make a major push towards live service model games. While perhaps not the whole future for PlayStation, it was very clear that the platfom-holder wants a piece of the Fortnite, Overwatch, PUBG pie. Well, we’re now at least a year into the execution and…
Playing All the Fake Phone Games
At long last I’m back! It’s been a hectic couple of weeks with my family visiting, but I did find moments here and there to game. There weren’t many, which is why I’ve been trying something a little different lately: namely all of those fake phone games we all have to constantly sit through. And…
Back in the Mix with Fallout 76
It’s been nearly two years since my last post about Fallout 76; and it’s been about that long since I played the game in earnest. I’ve popped in here and there, most notably to play through The Pitt expansion with my other half, but I’ve yet to check out the game’s newest content with any…
Palworld Could Be Hitting the PS5 Before Too Long
Palworld was perhaps the first big hit of 2024, with the game more or less taking over the internet for a good three weeks or so. The hype has died down quite a bit since developer Pocket Pair is still working on the game’s next installment of DLC, but it’s still a game worth following…
Favorite Summer Game Fest (and More) Reveals
At some point soon, we’ll all (or just me, at least) will stop calling Game Fest “not E3,” but until then…this past weekend was, indeed, not E3. It was the Summer Game Fest, plus Sony’s own State of Play, that brought forth a slew of gaming content, known and unknown, that players will see this…
I’m Glad to See Demos Making a Comeback
With games getting ever more expensive and often in new and “exciting” ways, having the chance to try before you buy is extremely valuable. I needn’t list off the merits to you, as there’s really only one that matters: getting to see if the game is actually for you or not. Some games sound great…
Combing the Commonwealth, Again?
When I restarted Fallout 4 after its “next-gen” update in late April, I didn’t have much of an agenda. Maybe I’d save the Commonwealth, maybe not. Mainly, I wanted to see what, if anything, had changed thanks to the update. Comparing screenshots, I guess the game looks better? The environments are a bit more vibrant,…
Helldivers 2 to See Several Weapon Tweaks Soon
As fun as it is, Helldivers 2 isn’t without its flaws. What the team over at Arrowhead has accomplished with the game so far is absolutely commendable, but I’d be lying if I said that the bug list wasn’t becoming distracting, especially the ones affecting some of the weapons. Fortunately though, it seems some of…
