News Palworld Reportedly Poised for PS5 Reveal at Tokyo Game Show
Get your guns on
Incredibly, the Palworld phenomenon occurred in January of this year, with Pocketpair's smash hit being the talk of the town for a good couple of weeks there. In March, we got a pretty blatant tease that the game would be coming to PS5 at some point, and the developer has since stated that ports for other platfor
News Kratos Actor Chris Judge Claps Back at Amazon Exec's Gaming Dig
Those are fighting words
Legendary Teal'c actor Chris Judge is not known for his restraint. However, in his starring role as God of War's modern Kratos, it seems he's learned how to control the Spartan rage within. When Amazon Games boss Christoph Hartmann made the outrageous allegation that video games "don't really have acting", Judge quickly set...
News Sony Appears to Be Dabbling with Written User Reviews on the PS Store
