Persona 3 Portable isn't only a great JRPG, but a history lesson too

Looking back, was I naive? And was I wrong? I’m delighted to report that I was catastrophically wrong. The most surprising thing about Persona 3, to me at least, is its parallels with Persona 5. The Shadows seem to reside in this mega-structure called Tartarus. And it’s fun calling on your different personas and landing those oh-so satisfying critical hits. Yep, Igor and his Velvet Room are also there to splice different personas together too....

The Last Of Us show teases the rest of the first season with its Weeks Ahead trailer

What else is to come for the Mushroom Kingdom? It has plenty of cordyceps-infected baddies, gritty human drama, and Pedro Pascal being Pedro Pascal. Just with live-action, rather than lots of crouching behind objects and sneaking. Critics seem to be lapping up Naughty Dogs sci-fi survival story now that its not interactive, though. I havent watched The Last Of Us yet, as Ive still not finished the first game. I think thats probably the right way round to experience them game first, then TV show....

Lost Ark’s latest effort to tackle its bot problem ended up banning lapsed players

They claimed theyd received bans that appeared on their Steam profile without actually logging into the game recently. They will literally ban you for nothing and leave a stain on your profile. Haven’t played since Feb and now I have this forever, said one reviewer. Got banned on a game that I’ve played once, said another Steam user. Just because I didn’t like it, doesn’t give developers the right to ban my account....

Shang-Chi is apparently the most overrated card in Marvel Snap

He feels great to play, and miserable to play against. I suppose I can stop agonising over whether he has a place in my latest Patriot deck. It’s surprising, but not outrageously so. It’s also worth noting the statistics don’t take into account how dramatically locations can impact a match. That makes me especially suspicious of Brode pointing to the Human Torch as the most underrated card, i.e. the one that “appears the most infrequently but wins the most often when he does”....
