I never would have considered that there was an audience for a strategy game about running a naval trade company in the 17th century. Yet, the Port Royale series proves that there’s a market for everything, as it’s now on its fourth installment of sea-faring, rum-selling adventure. Of course, your mileage may vary when it comes to enjoying Port Royale 4 as adjusting business ledgers and dealing with viceroys may not the kind of exciting gameplay you’re used to....
When SCUF Gaming revealed its PS4 Vantage controller, many gamers were excited by the product’s side-mounted right and left SAX buttons, removable faceplate, audio touch bar, removable vibration modules, paddle control system, remapping switch, customizable thumbsticks, adjustable hair triggers, and choice of D-pads. Beyond these features, however, it was also revealed that the controller’s design made Fortnite an easier game for pros. Scuf Gaming had a minor presence at E3 2018 where the company created custom Fortnite-themed controllers for the Pro Am tournament....
PSN name changes are now available on the PS4, much to the delight of many fans with embarrassing names on the platform.

Sony has acknowledged that certain games are facing issues with the name change feature, some of which appear to be severe....
PUBG Corp has announced that 15 major hackers have been arrested, and surprise surprise, they’re all in China. If you’re as rabid a PUBG player as some of us in TheGamer office, then you’re probably well aware that PUBG has, let’s say, a bit of a hacker problem. If you play the game even casually then you’ve likely met at least one hacker already, and with every update the problem just seems to keep getting worse....

Razer is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, names in gaming acessories. It’s black-and-green aesthetic is instantly recognizable on its mice, keyboards, and Blade series of laptops. It also has energy drinks and chewing gum, if you want to taste the future of gaming. But there’s one area the giant hasn’t tackled yet: ergonomic gaming chairs.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is just a big and exciting game as its predecessor, providing players with a surprising amount of detail and charm, more than any Rockstar title before. Whether it’s new items, animals, or just beautiful sights, every corner of the map has something for players to experience. Random encounters, one such inhabitant of the classic open world formula that’s been popularized and growing since the earliest days of open world gaming, is in no lack in RDR2....

Persona’s Priestess Arcana, occasionally titled the High Priestess in certain tarot decks, is associated with some of the series’ best-loved female characters, and with good reason. The arcana traditionally represents the sacred feminine, intuition, the unconscious mind, and wisdom. In the Persona franchise’s most recent release, this arcana is attributed to Makoto Niijima, Shujin Academy’s Class President by day and the brains of the Phantom Thieves’ operations by night. Unlike the Fool, representing infinite potential, and the Magician, which signifies empowerment and growth, the Priestess is a more mature, self-assured entity, and that is well-reflected in the personas associated with that arcana....

This article contains spoilers for Pet Sematary. Adapting the work of a revered author like Stephen King is always a challenge, but it’s twice as daunting when the material in question is one of the novelist’s most famous and acclaimed books. In this case, it’s Pet Sematary, King’s haunting tale of death, grief, and guilt in which a doctor and family man named Louis Creed, tormented by the death of one of his young children, buries the child in an ancient burial ground behind his house that brings whatever is buried there back to life…only not quite the same....
Greetings my friends. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. But my friends, just for a moment I think it’s time we paused to take a fresh look back at Edward D. Wood’s notorious 1959 cult legend Plan 9 From Outer Space. Yes, yes, yes, my friends, we’ve heard all the stories both about Ed Wood and about Plan 9....
You’d need to have been living in a Quarantine Zone to have missed the fact that The Last of Us is now a TV show with the first episode already having aired. Now, PlayStation is celebrating that fact by giving subscribers of its most costly service the chance to play the game, too. Sort of. The Last Of Us is already proving to be a popular TV show and we’re only 80 minutes in, but it’s got some way to go before it can claim to be anywhere near as popular as The Last of Us Part 1....

Plebby Quest: The Crusades is much more rigorous than its adorable animation and title suggest. Players must navigate politics, religion, and huge egos to build up their empires. PiedPipers and Neowiz put the game out just last month, and it has already racked up top marks on Steam. As the title would imply Plebby Quest: The Crusades is set during, ding-ding, the Crusades. In order to survive, and win, players need to wheel and deal their way through power-hungry kingdoms, religious demands, and everyone else just looking out for themselves....
The established lore and story of Galar in Pokémon Sword & Shield left a lot to be desired, as there were many open-ended elements and unanswered questions by the end that many players wanted answers to. Instead of getting answers to any of these questions in the Expansion Pass, we instead got more questions to add to the pile. This leaves many aspects of the newest expansion, The Crown Tundra, in the same boat as several burning questions from the main game, such as why Sordward and Shielbert’s family history is never expanded upon, as well as where they get their hair done....
Interestingly enough, your Chinese zodiac tells more about you than just the year you were born. It explores a lot about your personality and how you go about your life as well as telling you what gym leader you would be, and what Pokémon type would be best suited for you. In the anime and the games, the type of Pokémon is vital to winning battles; however, it is much more than just winning a fight....
One of the tougher challenges in the Galar region, Gordie has stolen the attention of players from his first appearance. He has brazen confidence in the body of a regular guy, something that is usually reserved for the leading man. He blends well with his giant Pokémon, being one of the biggest types on average. His high placement on the potential list is another reason to pay attention to the affable character, with his presence likely to show up in later titles....
