We’ve mentioned before that the PS5 is gargantuan in scale, requiring at least eight Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopters to move it into optimum gaming position. It’s big. Big! BIG. Here’s the real kicker: The PS5 was at one point even bigger.

A saga for the ages, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a breathtaking journey of discovery that has a cold charm to it. It is both serious and ludicrous in equal measure, an RPG that has added more than it has removed from its core experience while delivering a game that feels familiar and completely new at the same time. Skal.

It’s official! Revealed on N7 day and reported two days later because I was firmly in weekend mode, Mass Effect’s original trilogy is finally getting the remaster treatment. As you probably guessed, Mass Effect Legendary Edition will combine the first three games into one solid package that also adds all the single-player DLC that each game came with, and it’ll be out next year on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. And by virtue of backwards compatibility, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

There are still those who are willing to get up at the crack of dusk and boot up their console to find him for you. People who’ll risk digital life and limb to let you know if Xur is selling a treasure or rubbish. I just so happen to be one of those people. Maybe you’re stuck at work and can only log in later tonight. In that case: Where is Xur?

Reviews have begun trickling in for the PlayStation 5, Sony’s first generational leap since the launch of the PS4 in 2013. The general consensus is that there’s some mighty fine hardware under the hood, albeit with some baffling concessions along the way. The overall theme is that the games look great, the machines don’t sound like they’re cosplaying as jet engines, and yes the console is an absolute unit.

There’s a next-gen pissing war to be had, but it’s not going to be about which console has the better graphics this time. We;; not today at least. Instead I’ve got a feeling that we’re headed into F1 territory: Measuring just how much faster the Xbox Series X/S is at loading a game when compared to the PlayStation 5 and vice versa.

What Destiny 2: Beyond Light giveth, it also taketh away…eth. The next expansion to Bungie’s loot-shooter arrives next week, bringing with it a new Stasis subclass, a story that’s more content to paint with shades of grey, and two locations to visit: The snow swept plains of Europa and a return to the Cosmodrome. Because Destiny 2 has also become a bit of a bloated sandbox though, you’ll be saying goodbye to several locations in the process: Io, Titan, Mercury, and Mars are being chucked into the Destiny Vault alongside a whole lot of other activities.

It’s actually a shame that Destruction AllStars has been left out of the PS5 limelight, with Sony dropping the bulk of its attention on its sons Demon’s Souls Remake and Miles Morales: Spider-Man instead. I mean can you even trade paint in Demon’s Souls by slamming a car into a dragon? No? Check and mate, Souls-fans. But hey now, it’s Destruction AllStars so get your game on, and go play.
