PlayStation Remote Play has been a standard feature of the PlayStation 4 since the beginning, but it didn’t start out streaming to all your mobile devices. At first, Sony thought to generate some interest in the PS Vita by making it stream to their handheld console, but when sales of the Vita didn’t take off, Sony finally caved and let everyone just stream to their phones. Since then, PS4 Pro owners have enjoyed their favorite games while playing from the comfort of wherever they want (usually in the bathroom, if I’m being honest)....

While there’s doubtlessly a few thousand dedicated players still battling for supremacy across the interesting islands of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, it’s no secret that in the wake of several successful games imitating the title’s Battle Royale style, Bluehole’s survival shooter is maintaining steady success. The genre-defining hit from last summer is releasing new updates all the time, even if the best video game releases are subject to the natural entropy of all media....

For a time, it seemed as though PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was the new king of online multiplayer shooters, generating new interest in the battle royale genre and inspiring a number of other games, including the mega popular Fortnite. However, it appears as though PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is somewhat waning in popularity, as its concurrent player count on Steam has been cut in half since reaching its peak of 3,236,027 concurrent players last January....

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart may introduce a dimension jumping mechanic that separates it from the other games in the franchise, but at its heart, Ratchet and Clank is still an action platformer game that sees you travel to various planets, battle the various baddies that inhabit them, and try to complete your arsenal of absurd weaponry. For now, let’s focus on those planets. As longtime Ratchet & Clank fans know, planets are essentially the levels of the R&C universe....

After first showing its high-end gaming desktop at CES 2020, Razer has revealed the initial details for the compact PC’s release. This could be an especially impactful release for PC players looking to pick up a brand new rig that’s already pre-optimized to make the same jump to Next-Gen that consoles like Xbox Series X recently made in November. The PC itself, Razer’s new Tomahawk Compact Gaming Desktop, won several awards and accolades when it was first revealed at CES 2020 back in January....

On a hot day, it can be nice to go out to a park, hit up the local swimming pool, or even go camping with friends. Sometimes though, you just want to stay on the couch, marinating in a puddle of your own sweat, and you know what? That’s fine, too. That’s how I spent my last Sunday afternoon after a long time roasting in a hot car. Out of my entire library, I found the best game to play while I slowly melted away was Red Dead Redemption 2....

Remnant: From the Ashes is not a game known for being easy. In fact, it’s just the other way around. This game gathers heavy inspiration from the Dark Souls series and it shows, in a positive way. These types of games, otherwise known in the community as “souls-like” games, can be incredibly punishing. This game takes it a step further when it introduced Hardcore Mode. This game’s Hardcore Mode introduces a “perma-death” system....

First released in Japan on April 19th, 2007, Persona 3 FES is the definitive version of Atlus’ cult-favorite Persona 3. The game that lead the way for Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal, FES is the version of the game most fans have experienced due to its popularity. The enhanced version made some changes and alterations to the original, while adding in content that further improved the player’s experience compared to the first time around....

Just a few hours after Akechi stans got #GoodbyeGoro trending on Twitter, another Persona 5-related hashtag has infiltrated the site thanks to some pretty persistent fans. Persona 5, Atlus’ mega-popular JRPG released in 2016, has an immensely dedicated and loyal fanbase. Since the game’s release, Atlus has come out with three related titles: Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, Persona 5 Royal, and Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers. While the first two games are available for purchase worldwide, the latter has yet to receive a Western release....

Fans have been clamoring for a western for a long time, and finally the highly anticipated Persona 5 spin-off/sequel is coming to the west. Realizing one of the earliest gameplay concepts for the base game, Persona 5 Strikers adopts the musou format and melds Dynasty Warriors action combat with Persona’s elements of turn-based battles. The game’s been available in Japan for several months already, but after the leaked trailer, the localized version is coming a year later in February 2021....

Our quick take Planet Gemini PDA 4G+Wi-Fi - 4.0 / 5 Design 171.4 x 79.25 x 15.1mm Clamshell design with full mechanical keyboard 5.9-inch display Hardware MediaTek deca-core processor, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage (plus microSD slot) 4G, 802.11c Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, eSIM support 4,220mAh battery Software Lightly modified Android Nougat Android Oreo coming soon Psion inspired apps and dock Keyboard Full QWERTY experience Better than many flimsy Bluetooth keyboards To recap While it’s clear the Gemini will have limited appeal, there will be many who loved the design of the original Psion and will be fans of what Planet Computers has done here....

Rayquaza is a Dragon-Type and Flying-Type Legendary Pokémon that was first introduced in Generation III. It does not evolve from any other Pokémon, but it does have a Mega Evolution. Fans love the snake-like features of Rayquaza, as well as its rarity as few people have ever seen it. It is a fan-favorite, which is why many have created art in its honor and memory. They capture it in its natural habitat and each artist has their own artistic eye that depicts this Pokémon a little different....

Some of the most iconic Pokémon in the history of the franchise are Legendaries and Mythicals. These creatures are usually part of the story of the games they’re featured in, are very lore-heavy with interesting backgrounds, and they’re incredibly powerful. Today, we’re going to be taking a look at some of the best legendary groups, and some of the worst. Before we get into it, let’s take a look at a few honorable mentions....

It’s that time of year again, and Pokémon Go is gearing up for an action-packed pandemic community weekend this December. The full event will run from 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, December 12th, 2020, through 10:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 13th, 2020 (local time). With old community day Pokémon appearing en mass and older Pokémon appearing commonly in raids, there is a lot that players need to know to make the most out of this annual event....

May 2020 marks another weird month for Pokémon GO. Some areas of the world are beginning to lift their restrictions on social distancing and stay-at-home, but not enough to usher in the return of huge group events. Niantic has to keep up its efforts to introduce new, home-friendly elements to Pokémon GO. One thing that can remain largely unchanged, however, are the monthly Field Research Tasks. The only real change to Field Research inspired by social distancing is a daily free task....

Catching Pokemon in the Wild Area of Pokemon Sword & Shield can be incredibly fun at times and downright annoying at others. Whether the player is looking to build a team of champions, fill out their Pokedex, grind IVs, or make some money, tracking down Pokemon in this area is often the best way to do it. It’s important to keep in mind that certain Pokemon will only come out during certain weather conditions....

Pokemon GO is feel quite generous after launching the Mega Raid system this month and has offered a handful of Remote Raid Passes up for the very low price of 1 PokeCoin in the game’s shop. Players hardly have to do any effort to earn 1 PokeCoin in the mobile AR game, which makes these Remote Raid Bundles basically free. Each bundle contains three of the items that allow players to participate in a Raid that is either within their Nearby radar or that a friend has invited them too, without actually being within the range of the battle’s Gym....

Despite the introduction of Go Battle League last year, the Pokemon Go community is still pretty undecided on whether or not adding the conventional combat stuff to a game specifically designed for its catch-’em-all counterpart was a good idea. Personally, I don’t give a Ralts about Ultra League or Master League or whatever other competitions there are in Go - I just like wandering around forests to find loads of Bulbasaur....

It’s no secret that Pokemon GO got gamers from all walks of life out into parks and communities in a way that no other video game has ever been able to pull off. The popularity of the Pokemon brand combined with some serious nostalgia and an app-addicted culture was the perfect recipe for the mobile AR game’s success. Even after being aware of its popularity, looking back on the data from the first year is still shockingly impressive....

When I was a child playing Pokemon by myself, with no link cables and no friends to trade with, completion was a fantasy. I had both Pokemon Red and Blue, and eventually Yellow, but without a second Game Boy and a cable I could never complete the Pokedex. As a result, it became this almost mythical, unattainable desire for me. I knew all about the certificate one would see as they presented their completed Pokedex to the in-game Game Freak offices in Celadon City, but I feared I would never actually see it for myself....
