It has been a ridiculous day for Sony when it comes to new details that have come out about the company's opposition to the Microsoft and Activision Blizzard merger.

First, a new report from The Verge's Tom Warren shared some key pieces of information from documents (PDF download) that were recently submitted to the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)....
 

Review: The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition

An easy purchase for new players but maybe a hard sell for existing owners.

It was not until I reinstalled the original PC release of The Outer Worlds that I was able to really appreciate the improvements made with the release of The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition. Initially, I believed that this looked exactly like the same game that I had played on PC back in late 2019 when it first came out.

"I'm just not seeing what makes this Spacer's Choice Edition worth...

    FTC to Review Microsoft's Planned Acquisition of Activision Blizzard

    Big tech mergers are of particular interest to the FTC.

    The United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will be reviewing Microsoft's planned acquisition of Activision Blizzard before it's allowed to be finalized. Over the past several years, the FTC has been taking a hard stance against mergers between giant tech companies (see Nvidia's planned acquisition of ARM).

    According to a report from Bloomberg, the FTC is taking a lead role in investigating the potential acquisition....

    Battlefield 2042 Season One Delayed Until Summer

    The developers need extra time to try to fix the literal everything that is wrong with the game first.

    Where do I even start with this one. Alright, first off, it was announced today that Season One for Battlefield 2042 has been delayed until at least Summer 2022. That means there will not be any new maps, weapons, gadgets, Specialists, or whatever until at least late June. While there wasn't really any official date previously announced, the running theory is that Season One would...

    Sony Purchasing Bungie for $3.6 Billion

    You get acquired, and you get acquired. We're all getting acquired!

    Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) just announced that they are acquiring Bungie, developers of Destiny, for a cool $3.6 billion (USD). This comes roughly two weeks after Microsoft announced that they are acquiring Activision Blizzard.

    Once the deal is finalized, SIE says that Bungie will be considered an "independent subsidiary" that is run by a board of directors consisting of the current...

    European casual gaming trend: Top 3 most popular online casino games in Europe


    Ah Europe. The land of French wines and cheeses, German beer, farming simulators, Greek architecture, and a little thing called Brexit for the United Kingdom. Where would we be without Europe? I'll tell you where we'd be: The Atlantic Ocean would be a lot bigger, that's for sure.

    Besides food, a good drink, and a unified currency, what else is it that Europeans love so much? Oh, that's right: They love to gamble! Those Europeans, famous for their love of gambling in all forms....

    WWE 2K22 Drops First Gameplay Trailer

    Hey mister, you wanna wrestle?

    Oh God, posting news on a Sunday evening? It's more likely than you think. This is all because a new gameplay trailer for WWE 2K22 came out this weekend and I opened up my work email for whatever stupid reason.

    They call this the "Booyaka Gameplay Trailer." It shows off a number of the wrestlers, along with "stunning visuals made possible by the redesigned gameplay engine, crisp new animations, new game modes including MyGM,...

    The seas are still full of plunder and content in 2022.

    A roadmap for planned content coming to Sea of Thieves in 2022 was provided today by Rare. There will be some changes coming to how Seasons are handled with the game. There will be a bunch of new Adventures and Mysteries added throughout the year.

    One thing that will be added is a neat little murder mystery. One thing that will be removed, however, will be the game's Arena mode. The removal of this dedicated PvP mode...

    Hyper Scape to Shut Down

    Remember this game? Of course you don't, that's why it's shutting down.

    Ubisoft just announced that they are shutting down their F2P battle royale game Hyper Scape on April 28. This means that the game lasted less than two years since its release.

    Ubisoft made this announcement in a short blog post. They offered up the usual statement of saying that the decision to shut down development was a difficult one. They also thanked the few remaining fans of the game for their...

    Out of Touch Ubisoft Executive Says Gamers 'Don't Get It' When it Comes to NFTs

    NFTs continue to be a scam.

    Remember how back in December 2021, Ubisoft announced Ubisoft Quartz, which was a series of new NFTs that aim to fleece enrich the lives of video game players? The response to Quartz was super expected by anybody with even half a brain: Nobody wanted it. Nobody saw the benefit of it. Everybody saw it as a way to just squeeze more cash out of people by artificially creating scarcity using a system known to be harmful to the environment and used only by the...

    Scrum!

    Rugby, the sport that probably began in 1845 in the market town of Rugby, Warwickshire, England, hasn't really been depicted in video game form all that often. Rugby 22 is looking to change that with yesterday's release on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

    Rugby 22 includes some new major national teams for the first time ever. These teams include the Wallabies, the official Australian team, and the New Zealand All Blacks....

    IO Interactive Apologizes for Scuffed Hitman 3 Steam Release

    Everyone is getting a free upgrade for a limited time.

    When Hitman 3 finally launched on Steam, it was a bit of a mess. There were a number of confusing purchasing options, especially for those that already owned the first two games. There were no sale prices as is common (but not required) for fans having to wait a year for the Epic Games Store exclusive period to come to an end. There were also some weird choices in the purchasing options themselves such as the fact that the Seven...

    Do you prefer consoles? PC? Maybe mobile is your preferred platform?

    This month's poll is a bit generic if only because I really don't know what to ask right now and this is the easiest thing that came to mind. The question is simple: Which sort of platform do you prefer to play games on?

    Do you like playing on consoles? Do you prefer to play games on PC? What about mobile games? Maybe you prefer to spend most of your time on your phone playing this, that, or the other....
