Saros delivers Returnal 2 in all but name

Housemarque's Returnal remains one of the best PS5 games. Built to kill, raised to die, and fine-tuned to annoy the shit out me while dragging me back in for yet another go at  2AM.  Not-a-sequel Saros ropes in my one of my favourite actors Rahul Kohli into the mix with proper shields, greater weapons freedom, Indian-styled visuals, and borrowing  Xenon 2: Megablast's palette and violence.  Saros is set on Carcosa, a shape-shifting, hostile alien planet.

PSP Due For A Golden Summer?

With last week's news of a PSP price cut in Europe and a reduction this week for the PSP Go in Australia plus price cuts to the game ranges and a raft of great titles on the way, is the PlayStation Portable about to have an Indian Summer?

There's no need to go into how well the console is doing in Japan, dominating both hardware and software charts (Dissidia 012 was the biggest selling game in the country in March). But various software and hardware forces are aligning in other territories to give the console a last push.

So, while it might not get rid of the also-ran tag, it could help build a firm base for NGP adoption and help improve developer confidence.
