If you have any video game coffee table books, they’re probably about concept art, or maybe even cosplay. But Every Day is Play is a little different. It’s just about games, and nice art, and how that art (and our enjoyment of it) is just a really cool way to celebrate video games. Originally a…

I really like Sony’s DualShock 4 controller. I use it a lot, both for playing games on PS4 and also, lately, for PC games. But there is one aspect I’m not wild about: Those slippery thumbsticks.

One Of EA’s Best Games Is Old, But Also Free
Maybe because it’s never got a modern remake, maybe it’s because you wore a silly red helmet, but EA’s Crusader: No Remorse has never got the love and respect it deserves from a 21st century world.
