Reaction Sony Won't Be Scared of Google Stadia in the Slightest
A wet fart
The punchline of today’s Stadia Connect stream is that Google tried to sell us on its vision of a game streaming future with a pre-recorded YouTube broadcast that had more macroblocking than a Minecraft map. The broadcast – fronted by former PlayStation executive Phil Harrison in a shirt and sneakers – failed to cash in on

Playing Borderlands via PlayStation Plus?
Borderlands: The Handsome Collection just hit PlayStation Plus, bringing with it two games from the franchise to subscribers for free. However, which game should you play first?

Mid-year rut?
The dawn of a new month brings with it a new assortment of great game music, and May of 2019 continues the trend of seeing a smattering of really great soundtracks.

Soapbox Why 3D Audio Will Be PS5's True Game Changer
Sound
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: diminishing returns. Whenever there’s a new console lurking around the corner, you can guarantee you’ll stumble upon at least one spoilsport, cynically proclaiming that video games have reached their peak.

All the rage or just raging?
RAGE 2 has been out for a good few days now, and so naturally we want to know what you lot think of it.

Hands On Everybody's Golf VR May Be the Hardest Hot Shots Yet
Fore the pros
Hot Shots Golf has always traded on its instant accessibility, but new entry Everybody’s Golf VR looks set to have a significant learning curve.
