I’m not a particularly outdoorsy person and have little to no interest in birds. Wingspan is quite possibly my favorite board game, though, and I have it and the European birds expansion. It’s one of those games that’s a little confusing at first it quickly clicks, seemingly simple but with several strategies you can

I can’t do rest mode, because my PS5 is in my bedroom and the rest mode glow would keep me up. I’ll have to power off the PS5, then the TV, then the sound bar the way I’ve been doing. But One-Touch Play sounds cool, I’ll have to see if it works on my LG Nanocell TV.

It’s just a shame that they’re so rare.  The G915 is proof you can have your cake and eat it too, but there’s zero competition for it.  I check out reviews here and on various Youtube channels for different keyboards, but it seems like most of the “innovations” are things like Kinesis removing the F-keys or everyone

Those improvements could have come through iterative design, instead of starting over from scratch with something worse than the previous OS.

Maybe this article should be called “Kotaku, You Might Want to Choose a Different Staff Writer.”

The features I want most are the ability to turn off or remove Explore, more control over social settings so I don’t automatically follow every game I’ve ever so much as claimed on PS Plus, and fire the PS5 to not keep reverting my library sort to “most recent”.

So they made a small keyboard, but failed to give it low profile key caps?

This is good news. I like the Forza series and played them all except Motorsport 7 prior to getting an Xbox Series X, at which point I grabbed it from Game Pass.  I’m having fun with it, but pretty much from the start I was wondering if a new next-gen Forza was in the works.

Does it support DLSS on PC? I have a 4K TV and a 4k monitor, and I’ve found that Control looked great and ran better on my PC with 1440p + DLSS + ray tracing than on the PS5 with the quality graphics mode.

Let’s talk about the actual best charger for Xbox.

When the standard price of a game went from $50 to $60 I accepted it; that price had been stagnant for a long time and development costs had gone way up. But in today's era of season passes, microtransactions, and day 1 DLC $70 games strike me as using "next-gen" as an excuse for a money grab and I've resolved not to

Sleeping Dogs. Somehow did so poorly that even a (at the time) next-gen remaster couldn’t save developer United Front games from going under. Perhaps because a lot of people wrote it off as just another GTA clone. And yet, I thought it was easily one of my favorite games of the generation, far surpassing GTA. I

I haven’t had this problem, but I’ve had a different one. See, I picked up MK 11, but I was lost before the first story cutscene was over. I decided to repay the stories for MK and MK X, but I didn’t want to hook up my old PS3 and I happened to have a PS Now sub (don’t ask, I accidentally bought it when I meant to buy

So I've heard. I picked up a copy when it was cheap on Black Friday, but other games keep jumping ahead of it on my play list.

See, I think this is good. Rory McIlroy wasn’t great, but that was due to the bare-bones presentation (just a few courses, basic career mode). The underlying gameplay mechanics were fine, though. Maybe not peak PS2 Tiger, but on par with PS3 Tiger. I picked up The Golf Club 2019 and honestly couldn't get into it.

I managed to get a PS5 last week at Target. Best advice I can give is to follow @mattswider (an editor for TechRadar) on Twitter. Have push notifications turned on. He'll tell you when and where to look.

Sounds like we’re similarly far into the game. Our play times are similar, and though I beat Bernard I haven’t really done anything after that to progress the story.

For TV, right now I have to go with Hulu. They get new episodes the fastest, and they have a lot of my “comfort food” shows I can watch any time, like Archer, American Dad, The Venture Brothers, and Futurama. HBO Max is right on its heels, though, since South Park jumped ship and they've got all the DC stuff.

The Medium looks interesting, but I’ve had a few big expenses lately. Thought I might have to skip it for now, but it seems it’s going to be on Game Pass for PC? So I guess I'll be checking it out after all.

I grabbed a Quest 2* figuring it’d be the best of both worlds, and so far I’ve used it exclusively as a standalone unit (figures the first two games I’d buy aren’t cross buy). While I’m still interested in seeing how good games can look in VR when you’ve got an i7-9700K and an RTX 2080 I do love that I can play a game
