Tonight was the Playstation Showcase event and it didn't disappoint with new titles and amazing surprises. Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic Remake Set 4000 years before the events of the original trilogy, coming from the team at Aspyr and Sony Interactive Entertainment who have joined forces with Lucasfilm games. Remaking the greatest Star Wars game of all time and it's coming as a timed exclusive to PS5.

Saints Row Reveal Press Event

It has been 8 years (0r 6 including Gat Out of Hell), since a new addition to the Saints Row series. For the fans (myself among them), the wait is now over. Volition & Deep Silver have been working on the latest title, Saints Row, releasing on 25th February 2022. As the title suggests, Saints Row is a full reboot that takes the series back to its roots like the days of Stillwater & Steelport. I learned the game takes place in the fictional city of Santo Ileso, heavily inspired by the American South West. Growing tired of working for others, the nameless protagonist forms their own gang, The Saints. As the boss, this means building The Saints from the ground up alongside your trusted lieutenants Neenah, Kevin & Eli. Together they pursue their own goals carving out a piece...

Top 5 Rocket League Collaborations

Rocket League is one of those games that people love to hate, but also hate to love. Previously known by the more catchy title Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars. It is a title that most people have in their library these days. Some gamers will pick it up have a few games and put it down due to the game mechanics. Some gamers are so competitive (on the non-competitive modes might I add) that the games become saltier than the sea. However! Rocket League also has the gamers in between that love a bit of competitive action, however, they also play it to have fun. Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars! I was really late to the Rocket League game, it was just something I never picked up. Always saw other gamers on it having fun but I never jumped the gun. However, aroun...

It’s About Time I Introduced My Son To Gaming – Did We Go N.SANE?

Lately, my son has shown quite an interest in gaming. Whether that be child-friendly streamers showing us games like Roblox or hands-on with mobile gaming on the iPad. I thought it's about time I introduced my son to gaming. I grew up in the NES era of console gaming and that was originally my go-to. However, characters from the Playstation 1 era are the ones that really stuck with me. Therefore I couldn't think of a better game other than Crash Bandicoot 4 - It's About Time!

Top 10 Final Fantasy Antagonists

For over 30 years the Final Fantasy franchise has given us joy, tears, sweat, and heartbreak, and it's the game that just keeps on giving.

Also, this list is based on how an antagonist makes you feel while playing. So taking into account their backstory and just overall fairness.
