More than a decade after Sony first debuted its PlayStation Network service for the PlayStation 3, it’s finally possible to change your PlayStation Network ID. For nearly two full console generations, PlayStation owners have been stuck with whatever ridiculous name they chose for their PSN account when they created it, but after announcing the long-awaited …

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was one of the five best-selling games of 2018 in the United States, and from a sheer value proposition, it’s easy to see why.

‘Borderlands 3’ is coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC on September 13th

Jacob Siegal

Long before Destiny, The Division, Warframe, and Anthem hit the scene, the biggest “loot shooter” on the market was Gearbox Software’s Borderlands series.
