Go Play Ratchet Clank Right Now And Tell Me It Doesn T Have The Best Weapons In Video Game History

Ratchet & Clank was recently one of PlayStation’s free games as part of the Play At Home promotion, and also received a free 60fps update on PS5.

Final Fantasy 15 Update Takes A Jab At Alternative Facts

Final Fantasy 15 is, without a doubt, a deeply flawed masterpiece - the kind of game that critics rave about one second while lamenting some poor design choices the next. While fans have debated the merits of most of Final Fantasy 15’s grand adventure, however, there is one part of it that has almost unanimously been slammed as the worst part of the game. Final Fantasy 15’s dreaded Chapter 13 garnered such a poor reputation that Square Enix created a patch update to fix it, and now that the Chapter 13 update is live, players have discovered that Square has also included a cheeky nod to the Trump administration’s stance on facts....
