So, sit back, relax, and let’s put our nostalgia glasses on for a little while as we look back at the board games from the 90s that you have played, or if not, you’ve at least heard of....

Cyberpunk 2077fans think that the latest update, Patch 2.3, might be teasing the addition of one of the game’s most infamous bits of cut content - and no, I sadly don’t mean the metro.

Apart from Helldivers 2, PlayStation’s live-service projects have been failures. That’s most likely why we’ve seen a slight pivot recently, with reports of live-service projects at multiple PlayStation first-party studios being cancelled....

Critically,it is one of the highest-rated entries in the Doom franchise, andits Game Pass inclusion almost certainly has more people jumping in than they would have otherwise.
