Enlarge (credit: Getty) [/url] PlayStation 5 owners are reporting advertisements on the device’s home screen. Frustratingly, the ads seem to be rather difficult to disable, and some are also outdated ads and/or confusing content. The ads, visible on users' home screens when they hover over a game title, can only be removed if you disconnect from the Internet, IGN reported today. However, that would block a lot of the console’s functionality. The PS5 dashboard previously had ads but not on the home screen. Before this recent development, people would see game art if they hovered over a game icon on the PS5’s home screen. Now, doing so reportedly brings up dated advertisements. For example, IGN reported seeing an ad for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse “coming soon exclusively in cinemas” when hovering over the Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales game. Webheads will of course recall that the Spider-Verse movie came out in June 2023. Read 11 remaining paragraphs | Comments View the full article
First-person shooters come in many packages. Whether you want something team-based or endless action in tight spaces, there’s an FPS game for everyone. Let’s look back over the years and show you our top 30 best FPS games of all time. Look, this list is bound to have you shaking your head at some point, but let us explain ourselves. The order of this list has been under a microscope from the moment it was pitched. I’ve rocked back and forth, curled up in a corner for days straight, trying to come up with the perfect list. This list wasn’t written with bias (aside from my love for TimeSplitters), so we have been as objective as possible in our ranking. View the full article
The Football Manager 25 system requirements have been revealed, and they're a complete shock to the system, especially when compared to previous years. Having played these football management games for close to two decades, I can confidently say that this is the most demanding installment yet. Lofty demands are expected from triple-A releases, but simulation games like Football Manager 25 often have super basic specs, with only a minimum tier released. This has been the case in years gone by, but now one of the best soccer games on PC comes with a brand new engine and loftier hardware demands. Read the rest of the story...

Stardew Valley might've opened up the floodgates of relaxing farming games, but 2023's Moonstone Island has always been different. An eclectic mix of alchemy, farming, creature collecting, and deckbuilding, the typical life sim cornerstones that dominate Steam today are just the surface of what Studio Supersoft has to offer. There are so many genres blended here that, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure what to even call Moonstone Island. Luckily though, you can make that distinction for yourself with a big new update dropping for free. Read the rest of the story...

Rumors of a Final Fantasy IX remake have been echoing around RPG circles for at least year now, with series fans hopeful that they may soon get to revisit one of the most beloved entries in the series. But if a Final Fantasy IX remake does materialize, it may face some big challenges. Speaking with the website Video Games, Final Fantasy XIV producer Naoki Yoshida talked a bit about what a remake might look like. He warns that it may not all fit in one game. "Of course, I do know there are requests for Final Fantasy IX to be made, but when you think about Final Fantasy IX, it’s a game with huge volume," Yoshida says. "When you think about all of that volume, I wonder if it’s possible to remake that as a single title. It’s a difficult one. It is a tough question." Yoshida seems to be suggesting that a potential remake could go the direction of Final Fantasy VII Remake, which is in the middle of a planned trilogy. Fans have long had mixed feelings about splitting it into multiple parts, which offers the opportunity to add plenty of new elements, but also slows the pacing. As it stands, the third part of the trilogy doesn't figure to be out until 2026 at the earliest. Yoshida is right about Final Fantasy IX being a big game. It's absolutely loaded with sidequests, minigames, and other content, and it's set in a very large world. Reproducing all of that material won't be easy for any development team that takes on a remake. As for Yoshida himself, he's interested in remaking a different game in the series. "The one that I would like to make myself would be Final Fantasy III, I think." For longtime fans of the series, Yoshida is referring to the version released on the Famicom, not the Americanized Final Fantasy VI. It's a deep cut as Final Fantasy releases go, but very much in keeping with Yoshida's attitude as Final Fantasy XIV's producer. Yoshida touches on a handful of other details in the interview, including his favorite Final Fantasy VII minigame (snowboarding), an Xbox release of Final Fantasy XVI ("we do want to release it on Xbox"), and more. In the meantime, the wait for a Final Fantasy IX remake continues. Kat Bailey is IGN's News Director as well as co-host of Nintendo Voice Chat. Have a tip? Send her a DM at @the_katbot.

You can find multiple modifiers and particular keywords while playing Balatro, a difficult card game with roguelike elements that make it highly repayable with increasingly challenging goals. A keyword you may encounter but not quite understand is called the Double Tag. The Double Tag is a keyword that has a chance to appear during your run of Balatro, but when you hover over the item, it doesn’t detail how it works. You might not know what you’re doing with it and why it might be worth your time to go out of the way to grab it. When you do learn about it, the Double Tag could change how you think about using your deck. Here’s what you need to know about how the Double Tag works, and what it does for you in Balatro.

You really need to play Sea of Stars. What Yacht Club Games did to revitalize 8-bit platformers with Shovel Knight, Sabotage Studio did for retro-style RPGs with its 2023 hit. Taking cues from genre greats like Earthbound, old-school Final Fantasy, and Chrono Trigger, it's a sublime turn-based adventure. It's so good in fact, that it's turned more people than I can name around on the genre of turn-based RPGs.

The packaging for the new AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D has just been leaked, and if it's genuine, it shows that both AMD and Intel are donning their goth outfits for the next generation of gaming CPU launches. The new 9800X3D is expected to be released imminently, and will pick up from where the acclaimed Ryzen 7 7800X3D left off, possibly with a higher clock speed. The latter is currently the best gaming CPU you can buy, thanks to its use of AMD 3D V-cache, which we've found can significantly boost frame rates in games. However, with reported Ryzen 7 7800X3D stock shortages, a replacement is already sorely needed. Read the rest of the story...
