Update: GameStop has now admitted it was incorrect about the release date. Nooooooooo, Snaaaaaaakkkkkeeee!

Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater has to be one of my most anticipated game releases of the year (or ever) – I grew up up playing these games, my X (Twitter) profile pic is a classic image of Snake, and, more importantly, GameStop might have just leaked the release date!!! A new trailer for the game debuted at the epic Xbox Game Showcase over the weekend – it looks incredible – and a new video featuring the game landed on the Konami YouTube channel today announcing the pre-orders (now live on Amazon on PS5 and Xbox, if you’re quick), and it looks like it might be releasing on November 17th!

Okay folks, here we go, it’s time to kick off this year’s major summer gaming showcases with Summer Game Fest, as promised.

Sony promised PC support for PlayStation VR2, and it looks to have made an adapter for just that

Apps GamesBest PC Gaming DealsNewsSony

Okay, thanks for knocking $100 off for a limited time Sony, but where’s the PS VR2 PC support you promised? One thing, just about everyone, feels is holding the PS VR2 platform back is its required connection to a PS5. This arguably makes for a more stable experience for all users, but it needs to get PC support and, if you ask me, it needs it soon. It has been out in the wild for well over a year now, the game library still feels a bit stunted (although it is showing off new titles tomorrow), and, at least in some ways, sales are too because of it. Sony has indeed said it would take its latest virtual reality gaming platform off the leash at some point this year, and some new evidence has surfaced that it is indeed what is still happening. Check it out below.

Brand new $200

Just about everyone who both uses a desktop computing system, be it an all-in-one iMac or otherwise, and appreciates good audio also leverages some kind of tabletop speaker system (or gigantic studio speakers on stands like I do). Likely the same number of folks also implement some kind of sound system on their smart TV home theater or gaming rig, but what about a sound bar for the desktop? That’s where the seasoned audio vets at BlueAnt and the brand’s new Soundblade desktop sound bar come into play. Featuring a (Red Dot award-winning) design made to rest beneath your computer monitor, iMac, or otherwise, the new audio device presents an arguably more elegant audio solution for the desktop that saves space, looks super clean, and, hopefully (probably) sounds great. Head below for a closer look.
