Random Super Smash Bros. Creator Played 242 PlayStation Games in 2019
Not bad, not bad

Random PlayStation Wedding Cake Signals Game Over for the Groom
Time's up
It's a well-known fact that video games pretty much go out the window when you're married. With far too many household chores to do, a baby most likely on its way, and a full-time job to hold down, who has time for 2020's line-up of blockbuster games? To really rub things in, one cheeky wife thought she would remind her hubby that he'll be...

Random Days Gone's Trophies Are Scripted to Capture Important Story Moments
Morior Invictus
The PlayStation 4 captures a screenshot that corresponds with every single Trophy you earn, and the vast majority of the time, those images are completely throwaway. A random image of a menu, a weapon aimed down sights, a non-descript cutscene - you know the drill. However, it turns out PS4 exclusive Days Gone actually scripted those...

Random Check Out These Excellent Fanmade Death Stranding Box Arts
Dead good
Death Stranding's official box art was revealed just over a week ago, but it wasn't to everyone's taste. The cover, which features main character Sam off to the side, looking back across the box, divides opinion, with many saying it's just a bit boring, especially for a inevitably mental game like Death Stranding. For the record, we think...

There are some very minor story...
Random Sean Murray's Face Immortalised on No Man's Sky Planet
Murray on Mars
You’ve got to respect Sean Murray. Hello Games’ lead man may have spoken out of turn around the launch of No Man’s Sky, but the developer has had to deal with an Internet backlash unlike any other seen before. That he even continues to get out of bed is a testament to his strength of character, but he’s actually found the...
