The nature of 4X strategy games can often make them unwieldy and hard to understand for players who aren't immersed in the genre. Part of that is the scope--in most 4X games (the genre name standing for explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate), you're growing and managing a whole civilization, often throughout its entire history.

PlayStation's top boss has said that the company was not trying to be "misleading" with how it announced Spider-Man: Miles Morales. The game's announcement trailer during the recent PS5 showcase positioned the game as an all-new Spider-Man title starring Miles Morales, but a PlayStation executive later referred to it as a "expansion" to the PS4 Spider-Man game. Developer Insomniac Games subsequently stated that Spider-Man: Miles Morales would be a standalone game.

Metal: Hellsinger is an upcoming rhythm FPS, in which you will assume the role of a demon obsessed with overturning the current ruler of The Hells. Sounds dark? Well, it lightens up my day. With Metal: Hellsinger I get to nurture two of my lifelong passions: videogames and music. I grew up in a musical family, with both my grandmother and my sister being accomplished piano players. Rather than Bach and Mozart, however, I found myself drifting towards Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden, and Type O Negative. This is probably one
