Mastering a martial art takes years – if not a lifetime. Disciples must hone their bodies to the point that they perform every attack, every counter, every movement with pinpoint precision. A skilled warrior must move without thinking. Likewise, mastering Sifu’s combat system takes a high degree of dedication and practice. Like a true martial […]

Sony didn’t acquire Bungie for $3.6 billion just because it wanted a piece of that Eververse money. With Bungie, Sony gets a strategic partner that can help it achieve a foothold in live service – a segment of the industry Sony is keen to grow over the next five years – while also providing Bungie […]

Until recently, I’d been using an old pair of Koss Porta Pro headphones with my PS5. The Porta Pros feel flimsy, like some ‘80s relic from the days of the Sony Walkman. But these budget ‘phones punch far above their weight, and I’ve enjoyed them for everyday music listening while they perform admirably for video […]

Just over a week later, […]

The Pokemon Trading Card Game has been going for decades and remains one of the most successful aspects of the franchise. It boomed in the wake of Pokemon Go as it helped reignite the Pokemania craze before ascending to even greater heights during the pandemic as people relied on its comforting nostalgia to stay afloat.

Dying Light 2 is a game obsessed with dichotomies. There’s the city above where survivors have retrofitted the rooftops into gardens and safe-havens, and the city below where the hordes of infected roam. Polarity is baked into the day/night cycle and the upgrade paths that turn the city into either a parkour playground or a […]
