MLB The Show 26 Review (PS5)
It’s that time of year again when college basketball begins to lose its madness, and the sounds of bats cracking and crowds cheering are moving in on its territory. Yep, it’s baseball season again, and let me just say, I am ready to be disappointed by my Cincinnati Reds for another 100+ games. Of course, in true Draft Day-like fashion, I am also ready to fantasize about the Reds going all 1990 aga...[Read More]
Days Gone Remastered Review (PS5)
Sometimes when you review games, you can miss big releases because you’re swamped with other things, also, because better reviewers are reviewing the material. Anyhoo, this time around, I caught a game in its second go-around, and I have some unbiased thoughts, which are hard to come by when you’re discussing Days Gone. Days Gone Remastered, from developer Sony Bend, has brought back one of the bi...[Read More]
PlayStation 5 Pro Review
There is nothing quite like a mid-generation refresh for a console manufacturer. While I do miss the old days when companies would simply change a system’s color (the Game Boy lived off this in the 90s) and then make it smaller (looking at you, PlayStation 2 Slim), if anything adds longevity to a console generation’s life, then that is a healthy take from the industry. That refresh isn’t a new con...[Read More]
PS5 Pro announced from Sony
The system specs seem more than reasonable for the price point, but the last time a console tried to sell at $699 was the Panasonic 3DO. I’m positive people will be more receptive this time around. It should be damn interesting to follow. Anyway, enjoy the details. SAN MATEO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The PlayStation®5 Pro (PS5®Pro) console is the latest hardware innovation to ent...[Read More]
Astro Bot Review (PS5)
It seems like ages ago that we were unboxing the first PlayStation 5 and testing out the many nuances of its controller with a glorified tech demo called Astro’s Playroom. Filled with squeaks and innocent gameplay, Astro’s Playroom may have unintentionally started a need for more of Astro’s adventures and made the small dude an icon for the Sony PlayStation brand. Like, a Crash Bandicoot icon from...[Read More]
Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut Review (PC)
I don’t really care how many versions of Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut Sony Interactive Entertainment publishes on another platform because I’m still going to play the hell out of it before reviewing it. Every single time. Let me clarify, the main reason for doing that repeatedly is that GoT is a fantastic, replayable game that features a compelling story and set of well-developed characters. ...[Read More]
MLB The Show 24 Review (PS5)
Is anyone really surprised by MLB The Show and how it paves the way for bringing meaningful content every year and trying out new modes that are actually worthwhile? I’ve stopped waiting for the other shoe to drop with this series, as every year they have managed to meet expectations and make each game in the series more than just a roster upgrade. Seriously, Electronic Arts, you need to take a lo...[Read More]
Destiny 2: Lightfall Review
I remember watching the Star Wars – The Phantom Menace trailer at the end of my college career. I thought to myself, “It’s back! We’re going to see more Star Wars! And it’s going to be the best ever because it’s about Anakin’s journey to the dark side!” Then it wasn’t the best ever. Then the Star Wars – Attack of the Clones trailer came out and I thought that it was going to be fantast...[Read More]
Spider-Man Remastered (PC) Review
Sony’s commitment to a PC path with their games started way back with Horizon Zero Dawn, one of my personal favorites of the Sony IP family. While the initial release of that game was demanding on the CPU and GPU, it eventually smoothed out and became one of the more gorgeous PC games out there. To this day, it’s still in my top five experiences, and now even more so with the PC push. Sony then f...[Read More]
Gran Turismo 7
Gran Turismo 7 is not a game made for me. And yet, strangely, it is. In 2003, I bought my first car, a ’98 Chevrolet Malibu LS for $3500. A week or so after I had the car, I got into a fake drag race with someone else. My car was actually in reverse, so I went backwards while my opponent skirted forward. Laughter ensued. In the summer of 2005 I drove the car to Chicago to go to Lollapalooza ...[Read More]

Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut
It has been over a year and a system ago that we reviewed Ghost of Tsushima on Digitalchumps.com. The game in July 2020 was a masterpiece of narrative storytelling that was unrivaled in its execution. It took us through Japan’s Tsushima Island and samurai history led by a vengeful, yet honorable lead character named Jin Sakai. His quest was to save his homeland island from an invading Mongol force...[Read More]
