A PlayStation 5 version of last year’s best darts-throwing game is out today in Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, which makes that door look prettier (and provides some other snazzy enhancements too, I suppose). Thing is, upgrading from the PS4 to the PS5 version isn’t exactly a no-brainer.Read...
FFVII Remake Doors Look Much Better On PS5
9.6.2021
One of my only complaints about the original release of Final Fantasy VII Remake was the texture pop-in and weird, blurry texture of Cloud’s apartment door in the Sector 7 slums. I am pleased to report that these issues have been resolved in the PlayStation 5 version, though Cloud still refuses...

7.6.2021
Six years, four months, and three weeks ago, a major developer released a big-budget action game set in a sprawling open world. In 2018, that same developer announced a sequel slated for the following year. It has since been delayed. And now, the original game is getting more content. Such is...

4.6.2021
Loremasters, minstrels, tale-tellers, songblades—every adventuring party needs a bard. If there isn’t someone on your side fighting kobolds with a lute, what’s the point? I don’t know how a Dungeons & Dragons MMO has survived since 2013 without them, but the question will soon be moot, as bards...

Fine, World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic. I’ll sit with dozens of other players in the Blasted Lands, waiting for the glowing green portal to open at 6 p.m. Eastern time. I will weather this plodding déjà vu but know this: There’s no way in hell I’m leveling a Blood Elf or Draenei...
Pokémon Products Don't Get Much Better Than This
1.6.2021
