Sony was nice enough to send along one of its new, fancy Satin Silver Dual Shock 3 controllers to the Destructoid Baltimore offices to check out. It arrived today, and after prying the peripheral from its thick plastic, dangerous-to-open retail chamber of death, our findings aren’t surprising. It’s exactly like the black DualShock 3 controller. But it’s silver. Of course, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, especially if you prefer the color silver over the color black....

Cyberpunk 2077fans may find the game significantly heavier on their PC hardware than ever before, according to CD Projekt Red’s Lead Scene Programmer Filip Pierściński. Ahead ofthe release of Cyberpunk 2077 2.0, it appears we should brace for the game’s performance to change. More specifically, Pierściński claims that the game will now “use all [the CPU power] you have,” with the expected processor workload being around 90% on an eight-core system....

Surprisingly, NRG and G2 both go two and out The Rocket League World Championships are three days long, and the middle day is the one that feels most eminently unfair. On Sunday, someone will be crowned champion. On Friday, the worst possible result in this double elimination tournament is taking a single loss. Saturday is the grueling day. Saturday is when dreams start shattering. The RLCS bracket splinters to separate those who have lost a matchup from those who have not....

Highly recommended for VR owners KO_OP’s puzzlebox gameGNOGreminded me of playingwith Mighty Max toys as a kid. After making the rounds on PlayStation 4 and iOS, the super-polished puzzler is now available on PC and Mac. This is best played in virtual reality, so if you own Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, I’d definitely give it a go. It’s a short but memorable game that doesn’t waste any of your time....

Disney Dreamlight Valley’sUnwritten Realms update is here to expandThe Storybook Vale’sstory, introducing a second chapter to this three-part adventure. While it’s had its ups and downs, I’ve overall had a blast with this expansion, especially with this particular chapter. I was already a fan ofThe Storybook Valefrom the get-go. Although I had mixed feelings about farming Snippets for hours, and I do wish there was more variety in companion types, I was able to look past this once I finished the first chapter....

Guess it’s time to import the damn thing Capcom has done just about everything possible to waste any consumer goodwill they’ve built up over the years. Even recentattempts to reconcile with fanshave been met with scorn by some. The other day, I surmised that even if Capcom were to bend over backwards to please fans, at this point, they’d likely just get called out for being spineless. Unfortunately though, this news regardingLost Planetspin-offE....

Midway’sNBA Jamcaptured the hearts of millions of gamers back in the early ’90s, but the company scored an equally big hit with its late-’90s smash-mouth football series,NFL Blitz. However, it’s been nearly a decade sinceBlitzwas relevant — high time, some might say, for a renewal of the football classic in which you needed 30 yards, not ten, for a first down. At long last, EA has confirmed therumors, announcing today that an all-newBlitztitle, simply calledNFL Blitz, is set to hit Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network for $14....

The free strip is released in conjunction with the Premier League’s new anti-racism campaign, that was birthed following the abuse that took place during a Euro 2020 qualifier on October 14, which saw England playing away at Bulgaria.
