In recent times, it seems that each year of releases brings a handful of titles that launch as duds. Sometimes, they’re flat-out broken, and other times, they’re simply far from the vision that was initially promised. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 was not exactly one such title, but in the four years since its release, Asobo has carved it out to be far more complex and improved than its launch build.

Somehow, Asobo has done it again. For the last four years and counting, it would seem that the team had already, to an arguable degree, achieved what it had set out to accomplish with the revamping of the Microsoft Flight Simulator franchise. But, after it was formally revealed last year that there would be an entirely new simulator, it left the flight sim community in a state of minor havoc. “This was supposed to be a 10-year project.” “Why do we need an all-new simulator?

Not content with Yars: Recharged, Atari’s classic game has shockingly gotten another reimagining. Even more surprising, it’s a Metroid-like this time. Yars Rising is far from the most unique or original game around and, on the normal difficulty, it’s incredibly handholdy. But the lengths developer WayForward have gone through to actually make it just as much of a Yars game as a Metroid-like is pretty astounding.

JIM McGUINNESS admits Donegal took a ‘bit of a step backwards’ in Ballyshannon yesterday. The Donegal boss was less than impressed by their five-point win over Louth — even if the result puts them within touching distance of Division 1. In the end, a disputed goal from Jeaic Mac Ceallabhuí and eight points from Patrick McBrearty were enough for Donegal, who now need one win from their two remaining fixtures to seal promotion.

The gaming world is no stranger to third-party accessories. Many recall the times of going over to a friend or relative’s house for some local multiplayer sessions and getting stuck with the ‘cheap’ controller. At first glance, Nacon’s fourty-dollar Colorlight controller seems to carry a similar vibe. It’s small, it’s lightweight, and it lights-up. While this wired Xbox/PC controller is on the cheaper side, that’s a sign of affordability rather than a drop in quality.

Competitive gaming has evolved considerably over the past couple of decades. In the 1990s, LAN events allowed video game enthusiasts to come together for multiplayer competitions.
