However, it is becoming more and more clear with each passing day that the game wasn’t ready for release....
Blockbuster PlayStation games on mobile might be coming “sooner than we might think” - that’s according to Jim Ryan, Sony’s head of PlayStation in an exclusive interview with Axios. We’ve already seen PlayStation expand into the PC market, with titles like Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone moving across to PC, and it seems a mobile expansion is not far behind. “The thinking here is that our IP portfolio is in such a strong state right now, it seems perverse to restrict enjoyment of it to our existing PlayStation community,” Ryan said to Axios....

In honor of Pokemon Day, the Pokemon Company and Google held a voting competition to see who the most popular Pokemon were and which would be crowned Pokemon of the Year. With millions of votes and hundreds of Pokemon to choose from, the top ten (and more) most beloved Pokemon were decided.

A lot of information has leaked about the development of Pokémon Gold & Silver over the past two years and it’s clear that the game went through a number of iterations before the creators were happy with the final product. One of the mysteries that has cropped about the Johto region involves Game Freak’s original plans for the Elite Four, as the line-up went through different revisions over the course of several years....
Pokémon Legends: Arceus changes up the standard Pokémon formula in many ways. In the runaway hit new game, players can explore a large, untamed world and catch Pokémon without even fighting them, but one of the most important alterations in the new game is the addition of requests gamers can complete for fun and prizes. Many of those requests revolve around catching Pokémon and completing their Pokedex entries, and while some are nice enough to spell out the objective, a few tricker ones only offer a set of clues that players have to decipher....

Pokemon GO players have been complaining all winter about how early in the evening Battle Raids stop spawning....

Remember Salandit? Well, you’re about to! We don’t know how this funky little Fire/Poison Pokémon found its way from the volcanoes of Alola to the Britain inspired Galar Region, but Salandit is available to catch and evolve in both versions of Sword and Shield. Where To Find Salandit Salandit can be acquired through Max Raid Battles in both games, but encountering it in the wild is significantly easier in Shield. Beside Max Raid Battles, Salandit can only be found in the Stony Wilderness in Sword....

While the main Zombies offering of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has received plenty of positive responses from longtime fans, Onslaught has struggled to get off on the right foot. Despite this, Treyarch does not seem to be giving up on the alternate Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies mode.
