This Manifest review contains spoilers. Manifest Season 2 Episode 4 Manifest is certainly making the most of its strong central conflict between the passengers with powers and those who would exploit it like the Major, who is proving to be a formidable opponent. Other potential conundrums are still in the set-up phase, such as Olive’s involvement with the Believers and Jared’s new bartender friend. But although the death date mystery and the bank robbery storyline do seem to be building towards something important as well, the string of coincidences harkens back to the more contrived callings of season 1, making this plot thread less effective in pushing things forward....

The PS2 version of the original Max Payne is coming to PS4 this Friday, April 22, judging by an update on PlayStation Blog. The post simply lists ‘Max Payne’ for release on the PS4 PlayStation Store this Friday, but doesn’t include any further details. As with other PS2 Classics, you should probably expect it to have been upscaled to run at 1080p and feature support for Trophies.

Fans of the Melty Blood franchise got a pleasant surprise not that long ago when a new entry in the series was announced. PC releases are always a tricky subject for fighting games, though. While most usually end up on PC, it is always a question of when. Some games have to wait a long time for an official PC release, and some still aren’t even that lucky. Thankfully this won’t be the case for fans, as Melty Blood: Type Lumina was confirmed for a PC release via a new trailer....

Key Points There is no difference at all between the Oculus Quest 2 and the Meta Quest 2.The only differences between both products are their logos and their names. Both products have the same technical specifications and remain suitable for VR gaming, spatial computing, remote work, and social media interactions. The answer to this question can be quickly summed up in a single word: No. In fact, there is only one difference between the Oculus Quest 2 and the Meta Quest 2, and it’s not the price, resolution, refresh rate, features, accessories, storage, battery life, comfort quality, or any other change in tech specs....

Would an app store by any other name smell as sweet or, in this case, download digital wares to your mobile device of choice just as well? According to Microsoft, the answer to that question is apparently “no.” In fact, Microsoft are in the midst of trying to persuade the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office not to allow Apple trademark the name “App Store.” Microsoft’s feeling is that the phrase is a basic and generic one, and therefore should be available for use by other companies....

The holiday season is almost upon us, and that means some big games are on the way. Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey are already here, and a new Super Smash Bros. will release before you know it. It’s enough to make one forget about the hits of early 2018 (remember God Of War?) let alone last year’s big games. But there is one 2017 game that is worth remembering, even if it’s a story EA won’t tell you....

With Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredders Revenge finally being out for everyone, a common question on everyone’s minds is whether Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is on Game Pass or PlayStation Plus or not. Game subscription services have come a long way from their early stages and are seeing some major titles get released on day one. This also saves users from the trouble of buying the game as chances are it might already be available on the service as part of the subscription....

Size may not be as unimportant as it is popularly believed, at least in the case of the Xbox Series X. The fact that it is much more powerful than its predecessors — eight times moreso than the Xbox One, to be precise — also means it uses more power than any other console, thus creating more heat. The massive console that’s double the size of Xbox One will most likely host more sophisticated cooling technology to evade the overheating problems that the 360 was infamous for....

Konami is working on new games, but it’s resulted in a 10% drop in operating profits in its third-quarter financial report.
