The best PS5 accessories to buy in 2022

2 years 1 month ago

Getting your hands on Sony's next-gen console hasn't been easy, especially considering the PS5 stock shortages, but if you're one of the lucky ones that managed to pick up a digital or standard edition of the console, there's a great selection of first-party and third-party PS5 accessories that you don't wanna be without.

If you haven't already, you might want to consider a charging station for your DualSense controllers given the rather paltry size of the charging cable that comes included with the console, which presumably doesn't stretch from your console to the sofa.

Longtime Sonic Voice Actor Returning To Role After Vacating Earlier This Year

2 years 9 months ago

Earlier this year, voice actor Roger Craig Smith tweeted he was vacating the role of Sonic the Hedgehog after a decade of lending his voice to the character. Smith, who had voiced Sonic in the games and cartoon series since 2010, tweeted a heartfelt goodbye with an image of a broken blue heart in January. Smith followed up that tweet last month with an image of a mended blue heart and the announcement that he is back.

The announcement from Smith came the day before Sonic Central, a livestream event from Sega and Sonic Team announcing several projects and brand collaborations. "I can't fully express my gratitude for the [Sonic the Hedgehog] crew and community," the tweet said. "I hope to honor your support and passion as I'm officially back voicing Sonic the Hedgehog in games. Can't wait for ya to see what we have planned! THANK YOU...from the bottom of my blue heart."

Life is Strange dev's acclaimed supernatural mystery thriller Tell Me Why is currently free

2 years 9 months ago

All three episodes of Life is Strange developer Dontnod's well-received supernatural mystery adventure Tell Me Why are currently free on PC and Xbox.

Tell Me Why, if you're unfamiliar, tells the story of twins Tyler and Alyson as they reunite, after several years apart, to sell their childhood home in the picturesque Alaskan town of Delos Crossing - a task that ultimately forces them to confront their traumatic past.

What follows is a deft blend of supernatural mystery thriller and earnest, character-driven homecoming drama - there's real beauty and warmth in the relationship between its twin protagonists - that's arguably Dontnod's most assured, consistently enjoyable outing yet, even if its perhaps not quite as devastatingly memorable as its Life is Strange forebears.

Razer Announces First E3 2021 Showcase

2 years 9 months ago

E3 2021 is just around the corner and promises fun game reveals, more than a few surprises, and closer looks at some of the adventures we are most excited about. While we already know the major gaming studios that will be at this year's showcase, Razer has just announced that it is hosting its first-ever E3 showcase. While we don't know the full lineup yet, the gaming peripherals company promises some epic news for E3 2021. 

Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan announced today that there will be a stunning line of new hardware for Razer to show off later this month. The Razer E3 keynote will be internationally broadcasted with the rest of this year's showcase with promises of impressive tech to show off and an inside look at the future ahead for the big-name tech company. 

This will mark the first time Razer has had a showcase at E3. The company has been present for the event in the past with booth space and press invites, but never a dedicated showcase purely focused on what's coming down the pipeline. The company's E3 presentation is dedicated to showing off Razer's innovation and goals for the year ahead, as well as a closer look at the most recent plans for the tech brand.
