Shadow of the Erdtree: An Ambitious Expansion

Image
Shadow of the Erdtree continues FromSoftware's tradition of intricate narratives with its DLC offering. While Shadow of the Erdtree remains grounded in Elden Ring's world, there are tantalizing connections to FromSoftware's rich legacy that may surprise players of Elden Ring and Soulsborne alike. You might spot subtle references, familiar themes, and possibly even returning elements that will send chills down any experienced Soulsborne veteran's spine - these nods to the past are handled subtly so as not to give away too much and reward players who pay close attention with moments of profound recognition from FromSoftware! Shadow of the Erdtree: Delve Deeper into the Lands Between Shadow of the Erdtree has been received with resounding acclaim and fan enthusiasm and with good reason, so if you're looking to buy PS5 games that are worthy of your time and money (and I have to say that this DLC is also carefully placed and packed with the game or available alone for...

TopSpin 2K25: Pushing Past the Baseline

It will be fun but ultimately you buy TopSpin 2K25 to play tennis, not start a fight (even if McEnroe is iconic). Now is your opportunity to play the best tennis simulation consoles ever seen! So get out your virtual rackets, sharpen those button-m...

WWE 2K24 Shines with MyGM

Image
As someone who's spent their career developing sports games here in London, MyGM mode in WWE 2K24's revamped MyGM has me pining for championship belt glory! For those unfamiliar, this revolutionary form of virtual wrestling General Management transforms you and allows you to switch gears from being just another button-mash gamer to becoming a dynamic (or benign, depending on your goals!) General Managers who can build dream rosters, craft epic rivalries, and navigate professional wrestling's challenging environment from the comfort of their armchair - it truly puts power back in our hands! Draft Day Dominance: Construct Your Empire At MyGM, franchise modes in other sports games (Premier League comes to mind), the emphasis is placed heavily on drama and larger-than-life characters rather than statistics and scheduling practices alone. Instead, MyGM makes management fun again! There is much more to buy WWE 2K24 beyond crunching stats and scheduling practices - crafting co...
