Talking Point What Were Your Most Played PS4 Games?
The wall of shame
One of the more unexpected features Sony introduced with the PlayStation 5 is the ability to track your playtime across games.

That could be either a blessing or a...
Talking Point Was 2020 PlayStation's Best Ever Year?
Not-so hot take, really
We awarded Sony three 10/10s this year. Three of ‘em. Before anyone attempts to play the fanboy (Activity) Card, we also gave the company a 4/10 – for Predator: Hunting Grounds, if you’d forgotten about that game’s existence – so it’s not like we purposefully inflated our ratings. In fact, the three titles we’re...

Talking Point Happy 20th Birthday, PlayStation 2
A toast to the most popular console ever
There's no other way to describe it: PlayStation 2 was an absolute beast.

Talking Point Are You Worried About the Future of Western RPGs on PS5?
A new era
With Microsoft's acquisition of ZeniMax Media, and therefore Bethesda Game Studios, the PS5 has potentially lost out on a Western RPG powerhouse.

Rest and relaxation
