Let’s get straight to the point: Forza Horizon 5 is one of the best racing games you can play today. Thankfully, it’s now out on the PlayStation 5 for a new audience to enjoy. It only feels right that Forza Horizon 5 would release some new DLC in line with this release, which looks to celebrate the best the game has had to offer over the past few years.

After the disappointing news that Grand Theft Auto 6 is getting delayed to May 26, 2026, Rockstar Games¬†has dropped a second trailer, the first real look at the game in over a year. Check it out for yourself below:The trailer certainly grants us a deeper look at the relationship between protagonists Jason and Lucia, touching on a very Bonnie and Clyde-inspired narrative through the vibrant streets of Vice City.

At this rate, the number of smart trackers seems to be growing by the day, and depending on your device and preferred ecosystems, like Apple, Android, or even Google, it can make anyone’s head spin. Phones, watches, and now trackers feel pretty commonplace on daily trips when out and about. I’m an iPhone user, and over the past year or so, have pretty much been confined to either the Tile or AirTag.

Game Preview: Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny is shaping up to be a solid remaster for modern platforms

2 weeks ago | theaureview.com | Matthew Arcari

It’s been a while since I’ve played an Onimusha game, but with Onimusha: Way of the Sword bringing the franchise back after an 18-year hiatus, I feel that itch again. Onimusha: Warlords was admittedly remastered back in 2019, but Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny holds a special place in my heart, as it’s the first Onimusha game I ever played. I still have my original copy on the PlayStation 2.

Remember those awesome retro startup animations you could get on the PS5 only a few months ago? The ones they removed? Yeah, they’re back in this latest PS5 system update. The classic console themes are inspired by the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 consoles and will change the overall look of the PS5’s Home Screen. While PlayStation had mentioned that these themes will return at some point, there’s no original PlayStation startup screen to be found, which is a shame.
