EA's E3 2017 press conference is underway, and though we're seeing a lot of what we expected (sports games, mostly), there was at least one surprise during the show. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons director Josef Fares took the stage to introduce us to his new studio and that studio's first game, A Way Out. A Way Out seems to be a rather unique game, much like Brothers was at the time, as it'll be a purely co-op experience.

Just ahead of E3 2017, Sony has kicked off its Days of Play sale on PlayStation Network. The idea we're working with here is "quality over quantity" - there aren't a ton of games being discounted, but the ones that are on sale rank among PlayStation 4's biggest recent games. Because of that, this is the first time we're seeing significant discounts on some of these titles.

The 1990s gave us a lot of great video games and a lot of great video game icons to go along with them. Sonic the Hedgehog, Cloud Strife, Pikachu, Star Fox, and Crash Bandicoot all come to mind. When reflecting on the great characters that came out of the '90s, Bubsy the Cat certainly doesn't make the cut, but that isn't stopping Accolade from trying to bring him back.

The Witcher developer CD Projekt RED shared some interesting information today. Apparently the studio's upcoming game, Cyberpunk 2077, is at the center of a ransom demand. According to CD Projekt RED's side of this rather juicy story, either an individual or group of individuals are claiming to have possession of internal design documents and now want to studio to pay up to get them back.

It's time for another Middle-Earth: Shadow of War trailer today, and with this one, we're diving into the game's story. We already know that player characters Talion and Celebrimbor will be forging their own ring of power to stand against Sauron and his gathering army, but this trailer goes a bit deeper than the announcement trailer that landed back in February. It should go without saying, but if you want to go into Shadow of War with as little spoiled as possible, then this isn't the trailer for you.

There is no scarcity of special editions for any console of any generation. Save for the Nintendo Switch perhaps, though it’s still far too early to tell. Many of those editions come with custom paint jobs, exclusive colors, bundled games, and higher price tags. So when you hear that Sony will be putting out a very limited edition golden PlayStation 4, you almost expect it to be, well, like gold. Reality, however, is strange than fiction and this aurum PS4 will actually be cheaper. At least for a week.

We've been waiting years and now it is finally here. Tekken 7 can now be grabbed for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, giving gamers access to the title that was first announced way back in 2014. This marks the title's release for home gaming, though it has been available as an arcade game since last year. As with most console games, Tekken 7 is being offered in multiple editions, one of which is a proper (and pricey) Collector's Edition.

Sony may not have any new hardware planned for this year's E3, but according to new reports, it may have a new PS4 variant ready to go for the show. According to some sneaky Reddit users, Sony will launch a gold colored PS4 as early as next month. Even better is the fact that you won't need to eat a ton of Taco Bell just for your chance to get one.

Although it has had its fair share of loyal fans and players all over the world, JRPGs, a genre that pundits argue is a misnomer, have recently experience a resurgence in popularity. That's partly due to the wealth of "retro" indie games as well as a sort of counter-culture against the graphically sophisticated but sometimes mind-numbing button-mashing of modern games. Sensing a potential lucrative market, Square Enix formed Tokyo RPG Factory to blend JRPG tropes with modern gaming systems, as can be seen with the studio's second title: LOST SPHEAR.

If you have a PlayStation 4, you may have noticed a software update notification in recent hours. Sony has pushed out update version 4.70, updating its latest-generation gaming console with a relatively small patch that boosts performance, as well as bringing other small changes. The update is a mere 340MB, making it quite small in the grand scheme of things; you can download the update manually if it hasn't already been applied to your console.

Sonic Mania is, perhaps, the most exciting thing to happen to the Sonic the Hedgehog series this side of Sonic Generations. Sonic Mania will be the first 2D console game in the series in quite some time, and because of that, it has a lot of people excited. Imagine their disappointment, then, when Sonic Mania was delayed from its spring release date earlier in the year.

The game Persona 5 was released in the United States this month and this week we've attained the full "Quiz Answers" from within. This game is long - extremely, super, almost-impossibly long. It can get infuriating too, if the player only wants to play a certain extra-fun part of the game. Today is the first day the entirety of the Persona 5 test answers list has been released - good news to us, good news to you.
