The Elements of Gadgets and Gaming
Gaming in 2024 is just the pits. It seems like every day we’re bombarded with more negative news. Whether it’s layoffs, yet another broken release, low review scores, dead multiplayer titles, woke developers and journalists abusing gamers, predatory monetization, even more price hikes, mergers, frivolous lawsuits, the complete lack of customer service. The list just…
Sony is going to be releasing a PS5 Pro at some point this year, according to fresh rumours. Speaking to CNBC, Kantan Games CEO Serkan Toto said that “There seems to be a broad consensus in the game industry that Sony is indeed preparing a launch of a PS5 Pro in the second half of…
It’s been one heck of a wild week for Xbox. Fans got their jimmies thoroughly rustled following rumours that Microsoft is looking to make their games multiplatform.

Santa Claus is coming to town, to put lumps of coal in the stockings of these disappointing games. The bad news is there’s not enough coal in the world to cover the sheer amount of stinkers we’ve gotten this year. I’ve been gaming for three decades now. I’ve seen a lot of really great games…
So, the big news last week, among many other things, was Sony’s decision to raise PlayStation Plus prices by up to 35%.

It features a 1080p display, supports all features from the DualSense 5 controller, and will be capable of streaming at up…
Microsoft should be dominating this generation of gaming.
