The PlayStation VR2 Headset didn¡¯t light the world on fire when it originally released in 2023, but its user base has grown despite a lackluster launch. Plus, the headset itself features some pretty impressive VR hardware. Following a substantial $200 discount in 2024, many PlayStation 5 owners got to enjoy Beatsaber and Resident Evil 4 in first-person for the relatively more affordable price of $349.99. What¡¯s more, Sony has since released a PC Adapter for the VR2, which provides access to the thousands of VR games available on Steam and a new option for VR gamers on PC.

But it turns out its devastating efficiency might actually be a bug. - Kenneth Shepard Read More

If you¡¯re the type of Pok¨¦mon fan who cares about collecting every variation of its 1,000+ monsters, that means constantly seeking out special events to receive a rare critter or searching for hours to find one with a low spawn rate hiding in the tall grass. Shiny Pok¨¦mon are the rarest of the rare, with a color scheme different from the regular versions of any given pocket monster. Some rare legendaries are even ¡°shiny-locked,¡± meaning they will never appear in games with the alternate coloring. But good news: two of them are finally being made available, although you¡¯ll have to complete the entire Pok¨¦dex in Pok¨¦mon Legends: Arceus or Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl to claim them. - Kenneth Shepard Read More

The Zone is home to countless mutations and enemies, like bandits wielding shotguns and Snorks ambushing a lone Stalker foolish enough to wander into an abandoned factory at night. Sure, the right weapon, like a powerful submachine gun or fast-firing revolver, will make quick work of most enemies in the game, giving you the edge in pushing forward with your assault. But what about defense? Your typical suit won¡¯t stop a bullet, nor will it make you stronger and faster. But an exoskeleton will! - Brandon Morgan Read More
