While there was plenty of news and announcements from this year's Summer Game Fest, there were some titles notable by their absence.
The PlayStation Mid-Year Deals promotion has a bunch of games worth checking out that are priced at $4.99 or below.
The Nintendo Switch 2 has proved to be a success the world over, however, one nation which is particularly keen on the Nintendo’s latest platform is naturally Japan. Recent sales data has shown that…

I guess the resistance against always online and digital only consoles is BS. The people have voted with their wallets.
What are you talking about? Switch 2 is neither always online nor digital only.
Nintendo can literally block your Switch 2 console from accessing their online services at any time. When that happens, it becomes a brick. You won't even be able to play those games that use game key cards that are not installed on the console. Some users who have been blocked tried factory resetting their system, and when they tried to boot it up with a new account, they are stuck.
Speaking of game key cards, the majority of third party publishers have opted to use those instead of loading their full game on those cartridges. Imagine having a library of game key card games and going on a long trip but not being able to play a particular game because you need to connect to Nintendo servers to download the game first. It is not like the old days where you just plug in and play.
Game key cards make sense for large games like GTA, Red Dead, or COD, but I don't see why publishers who have games with sizes less than 32 GB need to use that option.
If you try to mod your system it could get banned from online play like every single system since the ps3 and xbox
The Epic Games Store wants you to join the FDI in this week's free game.
The Haligtree in Elden Ring felt very much like an FROM DLC (harder, unique and high value gear, strong enemies and bosses), but it was just included in the main game this time.
