This week saw the hammer fall down on WWE 2K20 for it's huge graphical issues in a AAA release in 2019. The story mode features graphics that are close to on par with PS2, and writing and motion capture just as behind the times.

PlayStation has been a little less prevalent in the news cycle this past year than the rest of the generation and while late in the generation with PS5 about a year away, it still feels more quiet than the PS3 leading into the PS4. Is this a sign of Sony slowing down too much, being silent on the remaining games for the PS4, or moving their resources to the PS5 when many feel the PS4 could use jus...

As we get older, we value the time we have to do things like gaming even more and often are more critical when we feel games waste that time, or yearn for more of a certain experience.
