From $9.99 to $14.99 I’m going to preface this community question by stating the obvious — the way Sony is handling backward compatibility is not ideal. It has had issues in the past with it, like some PS3s past a certain datenot playing PS2 games natively(my in-the-clearMetal Gear Solid 4PS3 broke, so sad), and the whole fiasco with the Vita (some digital PSP gamesstillaren’t compatible!). But this situation kind of sucks all around....

Many of the studio’s games had a lasting and formative effect on the developers of today. To say that Sierra was influential would be to undersell it.

Dr. Kawashima back in session The first UK Charts of the new year falls into typical post-holiday fashion, as in very little movement and likely to stay that way for some weeks. Activision’sCall of Duty: Modern Warfareretains the number one spot, followed by Electronic Arts’Star Wars Jedi: Fallen OrderandFIFA 20. The rest of the Top 10 continues to shuffle titles such as 2K Games’Borderlands 3, Take-Two’sGrand Theft Auto VandRed Dead Redemption 2, and Nintendo’sLuigi’s Mansion 3andMario Kart 8 Deluxe....
As promised, Electronic Arts has delivered a gameplay trailer forCrysis 3, showing off a taste of Prophet’s wacky adventures in the literal urban jungle.

That’s our pal, the ESRB, for you. Dude never could keep his mouth shut. That’s cool — it’s not like he’s trying to be a bragger or anything. It’s just that he knows stuff earlier than the rest of us. This is almost as good as confirmation of an upcomingAssassin’s CreedDS game, which we now know is a side-scrolling action game. The ESRB rates it “Teen” and calls it violent. Want to know what Assassin’s Creed II: Discovery is about?...
