Sony isn't about to go all-in on game streaming.

Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for July 2019?
Plus or minus?
Let's not beat around the bush: July 2019's PlayStation Plus selection has crashed and burned. PES 2019: Pro Evolution Soccer and Horizon Chase Turbo are the two PlayStation 4 games up for grabs next month, and the backlash to the announcement has been brutal to say the least.

A final fantasy
Sony may have taken a rain check at E3 2019, but PlayStation 4 is the only place you’ll be able to play the Game of the Show – at least initially, anyway.

Yes, we know what you're thinking. Forager looks like Indie Games: The Indie Game, doesn't it? Well, firstly, what's wrong with that, and secondly, that description doesn't do the title justice. It launched to high acclaim on PC earlier in the year, with many players telling of the game's addictive qualities. Forager is a game all...

Olympian effort
SEGA’s officially licensed Tokyo 2020 title will launch next month in Japan, and it’s bringing with it some old-school arcade sports action.

70 per cent don't want to stream their games
The reaction to services like Google Stadia has generally been one of apathy -- well, among our regular readers, at least. It seems most people just aren't ready to stream games, Netflix style.

Nagoshi approves
Judgment's out now on PlayStation 4, and we highly recommend giving it a look. But if our review can't convince you, then we'd also recommend giving this incredibly daft Mega64 video a watch.

Review The Sinking City - Detective Dealings Shine Alongside Classic Lovecraftian Horror
Care for some afternoon tea, Reed?
Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments is one of the most underrated games of the PlayStation 4’s early days.

E3 2019 Watch Dogs Legion Won't Feature Any Dogs Because Then You'd Have to Play as Them
A real shame
Watch Dogs Legion's 'play as anyone' mechanic is certainly an ambitious one, but it turns out the feature only goes so far. The buck stops with our canine friends, who won't be playable in the game.

Reaction Sony's Decision to Skip E3 2019 Is Starting to Look Really Smart
Was the platform holder right all along?
When will we learn not to criticise Sony too hastily? Our first reaction to the Japanese giant’s decision to skip E3 2019 was one of horror, but we later took a step back and pointed out that the platform holder couldn’t (and probably shouldn’t) be judged until we see how everything transpires. On the...

Reaction Bloated Xbox E3 2019 Press Conference Fails to Capitalise on Sony No-Show
Keanu Reeves was cool
Sony left Microsoft with an open goal by deciding to skip E3 2019, but after that bloated Xbox showing it’s pretty obvious why the Japanese giant decided to wash its hair.

E3 2019 Co-Op Mode Spec Ops Is Coming Back in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
Friendly fire
One area where the later Modern Warfare games improved on the original was in their co-op levels, collectively known as Spec Ops.

E3 2019 Bethesda Isn't Giving Up on RAGE 2
And nor should you
Fair play to Bethesda: it doesn’t give up on its games.

E3 2019 Wolfenstein: Youngblood Struts the Streets of Paris
Acceptable in the 80s
Wolfenstein: Youngblood is likely a filler game being developed to bridge the gap between the first-person shooter’s next major entry, but an 80s-themed co-op spin-off doesn’t seem like the worst idea in the world, does it?

Is Cyberpunk 2077 really a PlayStation 4 title? That's a question that's been asked since the game was first announced years ago, and we've never really been given a concrete answer.
