My PlayStation 5 Pro has been balancing precariously without a stand for some time now, as I refused to pay for something that should have been included in the box.

Charging your controller via USB straight from the PlayStation 5 is a simple way to refill your batteries. The downside is that the standard DualSense charging wire isn’t that long and can take a good few hours to reach 100%. With Trust’s GXT 255 Quick Charge Stand, the aim is to get you back into the game sooner rather than later!The box contains the charger as well as a USB-A to C cable and is ready to go as soon as it’s connected to any active USB port.

Originally announced in 2003 (yes, really), Captain Blood has had a turbulent 22 years leading up to its release. After being passed from developer to developer and hit with numerous delays, the game was all but cancelled and sank to the bottom of Davy Jones’ Locker. That was until 2020, when developer General Arcade got to work reviving this long-dormant project.

Days Gone was one of my favourite games of the eighth generation of consoles. I feel like I’m very much alone in saying that, as it didn’t exactly garner universal acclaim upon its release. After a few updates and the ironing out of some bugs, however, public reception grew more positive. So, why was there no follow-up title, especially when the first game’s ending was such an obvious sequel setup? Well, developer Bend Studio itself said that it won’t be working on a Days Gone 2.

I couldn’t quite figure out what type of game Blades of Fire was when I first saw its debut trailer. Developer MercuryStream has some varied titles in its back catalogue, including Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Metroid Dread, with the former being what I initially thought Blades of Fire would resemble most. But, is this action-adventure like anything MercurySteam has created before? Well, it’s certainly an interesting one! So, let’s have a look at this intriguing title, shall we?

Released just over 19 years ago, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was nothing short of a masterpiece. Rumours of a remake had been seen around the internet for the past few months, but the recent announcement, followed by my favourite gaming tradition of “it’s available right now!” was a very happy surprise indeed. With The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered out now for all current-gen platforms, it was time for me to revisit Cyrodiil and once again close shut the jaws of Oblivion.
