Quick Links The world ofArk: Survival Ascendedis mostly full of ancient reptiles and mammals, but there are a few creeping, crawling insects and arthropods on The Island. Deep in the caves that hide loot and important Artifacts, you can also find subterranean creatures like Onyx, Araneo, and the Athropluera living within.

It looks likeMinecraftcould finally be getting a nativePS5release, as several files have been spotted on thePlayStation Store’s backend that indicate a current-gen version is coming soon. For years now,Minecraft players on PlayStation have been begging for some kind of current-gen update that adds a native PS5 launcher, instead of having to use the creaky PS4 launcher that’s stuck around since 2014.Considering the PC and Xbox Series versions of Minecraft have advanced features like ray-tracing, it’s clear that thePlayStationversion of Minecraft is a few steps behind and has been for some time....

It has been exactly one year sincePlayStationbrought its VR branch into the current generation to join thePS5, and while concrete numbers detailing how many PS VR2 headsets have been sold aren’t available, it’s probably safe to assume PlayStation wishes people were more interested. Several factors have contributed to the PS VR2 not being a roaring success, the need to own a PS5 to use one being chief among them. That will hopefully change before the end of 2024 as PlayStation has confirmed plans to make the headset compatible withPCat some point this year....

Summary Video game music has a way of sticking with us for years, maybe even our entire lives if it’s good enough. It’s hard to imagine a time when the originalSonic’s Green Hill Zone theme won’t be my ringtone, or when the needle drop in the newFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthtrailer that pulls music from the original game won’t give me chills. There also won’t be a time when songs from certainPokemongames don’t transport me back to the in-game locations with which they’re synonymous....

I love a Pokemon TCG set with a strong theme. January’s Paldean Fates expansion is one of my all-time favorite sets to open, and not just because I pulled the Shiny Charizard in my first pack. The increased pull rates and changes made to rarity types made hunting Shiny Pokemon just as fun as it was back in the Hidden Fates days, if not more so. So I wasn’t expecting much from this month’s Temporal Forces, considering shiny set follow-ups (Battle Styles, Cosmic Eclipse, Crimson Invasion) are historically a bit mundane, but I’m pleasantly surprised by how much character and identity this new expansion has....

Water is a precious resource, but it’s contaminated by wasteland radiation. You’ll need to set up rooms to clean the water so that Dwellers don’t get sick. As your Vault grows, there are two major rooms that can do this for you: the Water Treatment room and the Water Purification room....

I hated Chadley inFinal Fantasy 7 Remake. Like a lot of the newly introduced NPCs found in the game, he felt out of place. Like he was drafted in fromFinal Fantasy 13to fulfil a role seemingly mandated in a modern video game. Here is an android with a grating voice and his dorky outfit who exists merely to grant you access to the battle simulator and offer materia or summon magic after you’ve met certain parameters....

A demo forStellar Bladewent live last night, with many assuming it was shadowdropped byPlayStationto hype up its upcoming exclusive. However, it now sees that it was shared on the PlayStation store in error, as it was taken offline just half an hour later. As reported byVGC, the demo can’t be found on the storefront anymore, and anyone who installed it won’t be able to access it anymore, at least if their console is connected to the internet....

Two weeks ahead of the Super Bowl, Mattel revealed it would be releasingBarbies, Little People sets, and UNO cards themed after whoever won the Big Game. Not just that, but the toymakers showcased images of all products, for both teams, and opened pre-orders even though only the winning team’s items would ever see the light of day. Now the Super Bowl is over, Mattel’s Kansas City Chiefs collection will become a reality, and pre-orders for the San Francisco 49ers products have been canceled....
