Sony’s purchase of Bungie and Haven Studios is now complete, but a larger beast looms on the horizon. See the ripples in the water? The Microsoft/Activision merger could be finished within months. This is where we are now. One surprising purchase closes, another one rears its head. Bungie – the people who created Halo – are now owned by PlayStation. And although we don’t quite know how that relationship is going to look, we know that Bungie is retaining a…

It’s easy to write up my first impressions of Overwatch 2. They’re pretty much exactly the same as my last impressions of Overwatch 1. I know that’s not the most original take on the internet, but unfortunately it is an inescapable one. I loaded up the game, picked a couple of familiar characters, played for a little bit and it could’ve been an update for the old game. And don’t get me wrong: it would’ve been a hell of an…

After first hearing about the deal back in January, Bungie Officially joins Sony’s stable of 1st party developers. In a twitter statement by Bungie: “We are proud to officially join the incredible team at PlayStation, we are excited for the future of our company, and we are inspired to bring together players from all over the world to form lasting friendships and memories.” As a reminder Bungie still retains all control over publishing and creative rights over Destiny content, which…

Red Dead Redemption 2 was a modern day classic. It is one of the best games of the last generation, and one of the best selling too. It sold more than twice the copies of God of War. So why the hell has its post-game support been so lousy? The final nail in the coffin came this week when Rockstar revealed it has pulled devs from Red Dead Online to work on Grand Theft Auto 6. There will be no…

This morning Sony fans finally got the news they’ve been waiting for. God of War Ragnarok has a release date of November 9th 2022. Along with this they have released a new CGI Trailer titled Father and Son. While the trailer doesn’t give us a whole lot it is still very cool to see Kratos and Atreus back in action and side by side. We also get a glimpse of Fenrir as well creeping up on them in the woods.…

There’s been a lot of talk lately about Overwatch 2, and the value that it actually brings to the franchise. When you’ve been waiting years for a sequel, finding out it isn’t adding that much content is a little disappointing. There have also been questions about its new structure. Can 5v5 work as well as 6v6? Does losing a tank make that big a difference? It has been a mixed response. It’s a few months until release though, and general…

Final Fantasy VII Remake came to Steam last night. It’s been on PC via the Epic Game Store for six months, and was on PlayStation platforms for 18 months before that. It’s time, Square Enix – bring it to Xbox. I’m the biggest fan of these games. We shelled out on the special edition of the Remake, and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. I loved the DLC too. With its availability slowly expanding, it doesn’t seem like there’s…

Want to feel nostalgic for the good old days? Be a PlayStation Plus subscriber in Europe and suddenly it’ll feel like the year 2000 all over again. Message boards are full of excited people analysing the minute details of Sony’s new subscription service. Japanese and American fans are comparing lists, celebrating engorged backlogs, and wondering what fantastic PS1 and PS2 games will be coming next. And us here in Europe are watching from afar, like the DnD King at a…

I've been a huge supporter of Performance Design Products for a long time now, and they have always been great supporters of the website. In general, I do really enjoy the products the company puts out, but I've also had my issues with them. Most notably, I've never been overly impressed with the headsets the company has released. While they have been adequate and good for the price point, they've never been my go-to for long gaming periods, and rarely stick to the games shelf - they are often just relegated to the basement shelf. That's changed with the ...

Sony’s new subscription model is live in both North and South America today! Are you still confused with the new structure and pricing? If so, we got you covered. First up is Playstation Plus Essential – this is basically what Playstation Plus was already, access to online gaming, exclusive discounts, cloud gaming and a couple of free games monthly for PS4 and PS5.  There are no changes for anyone in this plan already and pricing remains the same: PlayStation Plus…
