Vg247 S The Best Games Ever Podcast Ep 28 The Best Game To Play While You Wait For Starfield

This week’s topic has come about because of two things: Firstly, we’re desperate to do anything Starfield related because we are a games website and people click on articles about Starfield. But, rudely, it hasn’t come out yet, so we have to get creative. I say creative. I mean, we have to go on about it on podcasts and things. Secondly, we’re scraping the barrell and letting Jim pick them now, and he won’t ever shut up about Star Trek or Morrowind, so obviously he won’t shut up about Bethesda’s upcoming blend of those things either....

Warzone Will Only Reach Its Potential If It Stops Being An Ad For Call Of Duty

This reluctance was in no way more evident than Call of Duty. The company, after all, needs to justify selling a new $60$70 release every year, and offering Call of Duty for free risks driving away regular buyers who may, over time, no longer see value in spending that much money on a new game every November. But the publisher could only swim upstream for so long, so Activision’s answer to Fortnite and Apex Legends was a compromise....

What Are You Playing This Weekend

For instance: a normal day for me (of late anyway) is getting up early, grabbing a couple of handfuls of unsalted peanuts, and stepping outside to spread them onto a shiny plate. Then, I grab a caller out of my robe pocket and use it to hail the local pair of Crows to breakfast. When we moved back to our hometown two years ago, one thing I noticed about the neighborhood in which I purchased our home was that it had at least three sets of Crow pairings....

White Ps5 Plates Appear To Be Swappable

The news comes from ResetEra, where a poster recently shared photos of detached PS5 plates. Given their structural makeup, it appears that they can be clipped on and off the main console rig, which highlights the possibility that a range of custom plates could be in production for those who aren’t sold on the standard PS5 design. Check out the photo for yourself below. What do you reckon?
