After Us Review (PS5)
After Us offers a glimpse of our future and a warning of things to come.
A gaming experience where you engage in thoughtful introspection, wordless encounters, and some platforming across Earth's many diverse locations to undo the devastation caused by global warming sounds like an intriguing idea on paper. Its execution in After Us, however, leaves quite a bit to be desired. Some awkward platforming, poor combat, and performance woes will ultimately leave you feeling a little less...

Redfall is Arkane's Worst Game Ever
It's also the worst "AAA" developed title in recent memory.
It was a struggle to finish Redfall. It was an absolute struggle thanks to performance issues, technical deficiencies, crashes, broken A.I., and uninspired quest design. It was the antithesis of fun and I pushed myself to complete the game out of pure spite.
Prior to playing Redfall, I saw Arkane as a studio that could do no wrong when it comes to their output. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic in 2006...

UK Blocks Microsoft Activision Merger
The CMA claims the deal would harm cloud gaming.
Cloud gaming. Cloud gaming is the reason why the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in the UK voted to block the $69 billion deal that would see Microsoft taking over Activision Blizzard.
The decision didn't come down to concerns over Call of Duty exclusivity or anything that would make some measure of sense. No, it came down to the CMA being concerned that the deal would "undermine new and innovative" competition...

Digital Homicide Also Suing 100 Steam Users for $18 Million
Not content with being a bothersome fly on Jim Sterling's wall, Indie "developer" James Romine of Digital Homicide, is now going after 100 anonymous Steam users. To make what is arguably a long (and stupid) story short, Romaine has been in a legal battle with Jim Sterling for well over a year now. Essentially, Digital Homicide accused Sterling of "assault, libel, and slander" after he put out a video blasting them for their low-effort and low-quality games. You know, as Jim Sterling tends to... -

Digimon World: Next Order Coming to North America Just for the PlayStation 4
After a rollercoaster of a day with no fewer than three press releases being sent, it seems as though Bandai Namco has finally decided on the fate of the PlayStation Vita version of Digimon World: New Order for North America. That fate is... not good. It seems as though the final statement is that Digimon World: New Order is only coming to the PlayStation 4 in North America in early 2017.

Virtually Friendzoned - New Summer Lesson TGS 2016 Trailer
A new trailer for the PlayStation VR game, Summer Lesson, was released this week as part of the Tokyo Game Show 2016 showing. What is Summer Lesson? I'm not really sure. Probably something that will have people saying the word "waifu" at multiple points.
Call me crazy, but I'm guessing this will appeal to a certain group of people regardless of what the actual point of the game is. If you speak the language, or feel Google Translate will work, ...

In fact, every team except the one working on MLB: The Show were affected by today's layoffs. This information was first brought to light from one of the affected employees that wished to remain anonymous in their disclosure to Polygon. Sony confirmed the layoffs by stating that there was a "reduction in headcount." That actually sounds a lot worse... -
