Not as tantalizing as IHOP: Road Trip I’ve been to Hooters at some point during my teen years. I can tell you that all the hormones in the world would not take away from how awkward I felt. I’d say it was mutual shame, like getting your genitals waxed, but I don’t know who would take that job not feeling comfortable with the implications. So, the shame was all me. It’s like going to a strip club; I understand the purpose, but I’m still afraid to make eye contact. At the very least, I respect a place that moves ogling out…

Rare and expensive PlayStation games - If you've got these in-demand games you've hit the jackpot (Image: SONY GETTY)PlayStation is one of the most beloved gaming brands around, with Sony releasing genre defining, revolutionary games for almost three decades now. Sony burst onto the gaming scene with the PS1 back in 1994, which was born out of the failed Super Nintendo CD project - and have never looked back, with numerous classic games being released on the PS1, PS2, PSP, PS3, PS4, PS Vita and now PS5 since then. While…

That’s okay, I’m your friend I have a massive soft spot for the Rampage series. I’ve been fascinated with it since I was a kid. One of the first things I did while attending college is play through World Tour with a new acquaintance. It’s become a staple series for my husband and me to play. It’s simple. You drop in as a monster and mindlessly smash things until the game ends. Rampage: Universal Tour even had a hint of strategy in managing your stock of lives. Rampage Through Time is the last of the games I had yet to…

Survive a plane crash in this classic that never came over Sony’s 2000 cinematic adventure game Aconcagua is getting an English patch. Though it only ever released in Japan, an English fan translation is making the game available for new audiences on July 11. Hilltop, which has worked on translations of other games like Squaresoft’s Japan-only street racing RPG Racing Lagoon, is publishing the English patch for Aconcagua. This Sony release is pretty obscure; I’ll be honest, I hadn’t heard of it until this translation…

PlayStation Plus on PC appears to be not working properly, as multiple titles aren’t currently displaying correctly whilst others are labelled wrong as well.  Whilst the available library of games between console, PS4 and PS5 are different, it looks like something’s gone wrong with the PC streaming versions of some games (via Eurogamer). Some PS1, PS2 and PS4 games are displaying as PS3 titles, and don’t load when players attempt to boot them up, whilst regularly labelled PS3 games are working fine. Eurogamer has…

PlayStation Plus is finally taking it to Xbox Game Pass. Starting Thursday, Sony's game subscription service has morphed into a three-headed dragon, one that's designed explicitly to take on Microsoft's behemoth. While PS Plus might count more members — 47 million over 25 million — Game Pass has established itself as the premier offering over the past couple of years. That is thanks to Microsoft sinking billions to give Xbox, PC, and mobile gamers access to day-one releases, a terrific back catalogue that's continually…

PlayStation Plus is changing — very soon. On Wednesday, Sony's revamped three-tier take on its game subscription offering PS Plus arrives in India and Europe, completing a rollout that began a month ago in parts of Asia. (Due to market and operation reasons, Sony considers India as part of “Europe” rather than “Asia”. I know it's confusing, but all we can do is accept it and move on.) From June 22, PlayStation Plus, like we've known it for over a decade, won't cease to exist. Instead, it will end up as a much smaller…

Despite North American players’ fears that PlayStation Plus Premium’s PS1 games would be the PAL versions that run at 50Hz, Video Games Chronicle confirmed that North American PS1 classics will be based on the NTSC versions that run at 60Hz. PS1 classics were rolled out region by region, with Asian territories getting first access to the library of PS1 games in May. However, it was discovered that the PS1 games available in those regions were based on the PAL versions rather than NTSC. PAL PS1 games, which were made…

Many games can be bought separately without needing PlayStation Plus Premium As the regional rollout continues, Sony has launched its new tiered PlayStation Plus subscription plans in North America. Many of us will be sticking with the most basic membership (which is now known as PlayStation Plus Essential), but you can see how much it’ll cost to upgrade to Extra or Premium on this info-heavy overview page. Another handy link: the list of games and which tiers they’re tied to, including PlayStation Classics, some of…

The original PlayStation almost didn’t happen. It was the result of a canceled collaboration between Sony and Nintendo, leading to somewhat of a feud in the mid-90s. In 1994, the PlayStation launched in Japan, giving its players a way to enjoy beautiful (at the time) 3D games using discs instead of the expensive price tag that came with cartridges. In 1995, the system was released worldwide, and it took gamers by storm. Not only was it home to some of the most impressive games at the time, but it also offered a…
