Days Gone Director: Game was Panned Because Reviewers were too ‘Woke’
And so, Days Gone continues to make news waves for controversial reasons. John Gavin, the game’s director, who has, for the most part, been bitter against Sony for its treatment of the IP, expressed in a tweet that reviewers panned the game because they were too ‘woke’ to embrace Days Gone’s gruff looking White biker…
Horizon Forbidden West (PS5/PS4) Review
While we don’t have a review of Horizon Zero Dawn on the site, those of you who have read my work throughout the years, know that I loved the game’s visuals, storyline, and its main character. Given the above, I was thrilled when the Horizon Forbidden West was announced for PS4 and PS5. The first…
Sony Resurrects Days Gone as a Film After Canning its Game Sequel
Days Gone is a weird Sony IP. Long development struggles, a third party (Unreal 4) Engine, average critical scores, and less than stellar early sales, all hindered the franchise’s prospects. Days Gone is, certainly, Sony’s most recent ugly duckling. Sony prides itself on PlayStation being the home to the best exclusive games (85+ Metacritic ratings),…

I guess, if I asked someone the question of “what have been your favorite home console ‘next gen’ moments in any console generation?” The answer would be largely dependent on the age of the person being asked the question.

Sony’s Days Gone’s Treatment; Was it Justified?
The big news this week is that Sony (and Sucker Punch) celebrated (joyously) the success of their newest open-world franchise, Ghost of Tsushima, which moved 8 million units within a year and half. Former Bend Studio Director, Jeff Ross, took issue with the situation as it related to his own open-world game, Days Gone. Days…
Ghost of Tsushima Review: Another Single Player Triumph for Sony
It only took a few minutes into Ghost of Tsushima’s running time for Sucker Punch, the game’s developer, to capture my undivided attention with its Tsushima’s incredible opening scenes. It didn’t take long for me, coming from the playing the amazing Gears 5 on Xbox Series X, to once more confirm one of the biggest…
