Sea Of Thieves Has Improved A Lot In The Last Year Preview From E3 2017

What a difference a year can make when it comes to game development. I played Sea of Thieves last year, at E3 2016. I enjoyed my time with the game, but it was clear that it was kind of bare bones. Our demo loaded us into an open world with another player controlled ship and then we sailed around until we spotted each other and fired cannons until one of our ships (mine) was sunk to the bottom of the ocean....

Shadow Of The Colossus Ps4 Devs Explain Strategy Behind Gameplay Changes

Remakes are always tricky things, especially when the game being remade is a well regarded classic, such as Shadow of the Colossus. Sure, you can just take the original title and improve the graphics, maintaining the gameplay in its original state, but that might alienate more modern gamers. And really, who’s to say your graphical improvements make the game better. Silent Hill 2 had its fog removed and the game was ruined....

Sony Srs Xb32 Bluetooth Speaker Review

Every time Sony launches a Bluetooth speaker, I’m just generally more excited than most people here. That’s partly because I absolutely love listening to music on speakers, and mostly because I’ve found Sony’s Bluetooth speakers to offer better sound quality when compared to what other brands have in the market. So naturally, when the nice people over at Sony sent us the SRS-XB32 for a review, I was hyped.
