Video Games — Auction Preview by Brett Weiss Sony’s original PlayStation is one of the greatest gaming consoles of all time. I love the system’s DualShock controller, evolutionary leaps forward in 3D gaming, and sleek CD format (compatibility with audio CDs was a nice bonus), which offered more memory than cartridges. Selling more than 100…
Battle royale with cheese. Epic Games has revealed what we can expect from Fortnite on Switch 2, and it sounds like a huge step up. The new console is gradually popping up across the globe as more regions click into 5th June, so it was only a matter of time before Epic lifted the lid…
You know how Steam is famously strict about certifying new updates? No? I’ve just been handed a note, apparently Steam doesn’t give a hoot and the only explanation for Square Enix being so tardy with updates for the PC version of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters (and the mobile versions too) is that they forgot…

One of the very, very small changes in Oblivion Remastered is a switch in the character creator from “male” and “female” bodies, as it was in the original, to “body type 1” and “body type 2.” It’s the sort of thing that would likely go entirely unnoticed were it not for the distressingly predictable explosion…
Ghost Recon Wildlands sets players loose in a huge open world, challenges them to take down a vicious drug cartel, and gives them the freedom to do so using all the tools the Ghosts have at their disposal. In the year and half since the game launched, it has grown considerably, adding the Ghost War…

Jakotsu-baba is the first major boss in Nioh 3, not including the prologue’s Yamagata Masakage. As is typical for the first real boss in any soulslike, Jakotsu-baba is no walk in the park, as I’m sure you’ve figured out by now.
