Persona 4: Dancing All Night theme eases the wait for Persona 5 news

Okay,no bigPersona 5reveal yet. I am still completely, sincerely excited for thePersona 4rhythm game and this amazing track, whichwe covered earlier today, is why.

If Atlus issticking to the script, much of the following hours will be rebroadcasts of yesterday’s content.

Quick and easy WoW mount collecting: Temperamental Skyclaw

Mount collecting inWorld of Warcraftis essentially me channeling my inner Marge Simpson with the idea of “I just think they’re neat!” Will I ever use 98% of these mounts?Absolutely not. Am I still compelled to add them to my stable of exotic pets like some out-of-touch oligarch?Of course. No mount embodies that as much as the Temperamental Skyclaw. Is it technically pay-to-win if I just use the Auction House? The Temperamental Skyclaw is purely a transactional mount....

Sonic Frontiers has a demo now on Switch, if you’re curious about it

It is a step up from many other 3DSonicgames (low bar, I know) Sonic Frontiersseems to be doing well for a 3DSonicgame, both in terms of the critical and commercial reception. Many folks (myself included) agree that while there are technical issues that still need to be squashed, it does have a lot of good qualities, and is a great bar for the next iteration of an open worldSonicformula. For many, that’s not going to be worth a sight unseen full MSRP price tag: but both of those deals have been altered a bit, in a good way!...
