Star Wars Outlaws Review – “A New Hope” or “Holiday Special”?

Video Leave a comment

Star Wars Outlaws is like that moment when Han Solo realizes he owes Jabba the Hutt way too many credits—but stretched out into an entire video game. Set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, it introduces us to Kay Vess, who is basically the galaxy’s coolest new smuggler since, well, the original smuggler. She’s got a knack for getting into trouble, but luckily, she’s got a loyal companion, Nix—a little creature that’s part dog, part ferret, and all adorable. Think of Nix as the Chewbacca to Kay’s Han, only furrier and with fewer growls.

The game lets you explore the underbelly of the Star Wars universe like never before. You’ll be flying around in your own ship, pulling off heists, and making morally questionable decisions—because what’s a good outlaw without a little ethical flexibility? Imagine all the stuff Luke, Leia, and the rest were too busy with the whole “saving the galaxy” thing to do, and that’s what Kay’s up to. It’s like they took the Mos Eisley cantina and made it a lifestyle.

This is ACG’s review of the game and performance.

I was WRONG about the PlayStation Portal…

Video Leave a comment

The PlayStation Portal is like a gaming Swiss Army knife that forgot its blades at home but still insists on being the life of the party. Imagine taking a PlayStation 5, shrinking it down to tablet size, and then realizing, “Oh wait, this thing can’t run games on its own.” It’s essentially the gaming world’s equivalent of a long-distance relationship—you’re technically together, but you need a strong Wi-Fi connection, or things get frustrating fast. The Portal is perfect if you’ve ever wanted to game on your couch without hogging the TV, but still need your PS5 to do all the heavy lifting. The PlayStation Portal is a lovable paradox: advanced yet oddly limited, freeing yet tethered, and definitely a conversation starter.

PlayStation VR2 PC adapter Review – Play your PC VR games with it!

Video Leave a comment

Thanks to PlayStation for sending me the PS VR2 PC adapter to review! Originally locked to only the PS5, the PS VR2 had a decent start to a shakier following year as people have waited for more and more games to release on it. Now though, with the right PC in hand this new adapter can open up a whole new library of games giving the headset a new chance to shine. How well does it work? Is it easy to setup? Is it worth buying a PS VR2 just to be able to use this with PC? Let’s go over all these questions and more.

The PlayStation VR2 headset is like strapping a futuristic toaster to your face—but in the best possible way. Imagine if your favorite ski goggles and a spaceship had a baby, and that baby grew up to be really into video games. That’s the PS VR2.

With a design that makes you look like you’re auditioning for the next *Tron* movie, the headset covers your entire field of vision, transporting you into the gaming world. The fit is snug—like it’s giving your head a gentle hug, whispering, “Don’t worry, I’ve got you.”

The controllers look like they’ve been plucked straight from a sci-fi movie. They’re sleek, glowing with an otherworldly aura, and somehow know what your fingers are up to at all times. It’s like holding the future in your hands—if the future was obsessed with flinging you into virtual reality.

In short, the PS VR2 is the ultimate accessory for anyone who’s ever looked at their gaming console and thought, “This is great, but what if I could *literally* lose myself in it?” Just don’t forget where your coffee table is—you might end up having a real-life boss battle with it!
