An ad for PS Now has potentially revealed which games will be coming to the subscription service later this month.

The Pierce Brosnan era of the James Bond franchise, which started so promisingly with the tough, character-driven GoldenEye (1995), had become more smug, more flippant, and more reliant on visual effects by the time it got to 2002’s Die Another Day with its invisible car and ice palace. But even though his four films were hit-and-miss, Brosnan had fulfilled his duty by bringing Bond into a post-Cold War era where new enemies lurked and the idea of a secret agent was up for debate....

There are a ton of different mythologies that contribute to the roster of personas in the eponymous Persona series, all stemming from across the globe, including Hindu, Babylonian, and European lore, as well as much more. One of the most prevalent is Norse mythology, hailing from Scandinavia and other parts of northern Europe. The Allfather of the Norse pantheon is Odin One-Eye, patriarch of Thor, and many others.

It’s easy to forget because if how hard it is to actually buy one, but the PlayStation 5 is finally here. With it comes Sony’s hopes to not only further the legacy of the PS4 but surpass the success of arguably one of the most beloved consoles of the last 20 years. While few consoles have written the final word on their legacies so early in their lifecycles, it’s rare that a console gets to make a successful second impression after a bad launch....

As of Generation VIII, there are over 800 unique Pokémon moves. There are almost as many Pokémon moves as there are Pokémon! It’s no surprise that GameFreak occasionally overlooks how logical some of these moves actually are, as well as the broader implication that some may pose to the series. This includes HMs, which were implemented to stagger the progress of players and allowed for a gradual increase in difficulty....

These stats include Special Attack, HP, Attack, Special Defense, Defense, and Speed....
