  10. Football really could learn from video games, if it bothered to understand them

    Opinion | Football really could learn from video games, if it bothered to understand them

    The Super League creators worry young people care more about games than football - they're right, but for the wrong reasons.

    It's Wednesday afternoon, and someone's decided to blame video games. It's easy to get frustrated but, actually, these days are often some of the most fun. Usually what follows is a circus: wagon-circling on Twitter, misinformed headlines in the mainstream press, maybe someone from a trade body going on This Morning to explain how much money video games make, and how many studies there are about them being unanimously good for your kids, your mental health, and your chances of winning the lottery, probably. It is silly, and inconsequential enough for us to quietly enjoy, but it regularly happens, and it usually comes from ignorance.

  22. PlayStation 5: the best external SSD upgrade options tested

    Digital Foundry | PlayStation 5: the best external SSD upgrade options tested

    Can SATA and NVMe SSDs match the internal drive for back-compat PS4 gaming?

    For a console that pushes technology to the next level in so many respects, there is one defining limitation to the PlayStation 5 hardware - its restrictive 667GB of useable storage. This week's system software update finally allows users to archive PS5 titles to external hard drives and SSDs, and of course, PS4 titles can be run from plug-in storage too - but what's the best PS5 hard drive option? We decided to put things to the test, stacking up the internal solid-state solution against three alternatives: a passport-style external hard drive, a SATA SSD and an NVMe alternative, housed within an appropriate enclosure.

  28. Why Nier matters

    Feature | Why Nier matters

    Exploring why Yoko Taro's series is so special ahead of this week's re-release.

    I don't think anyone at Square Enix saw Nier Automata as a multi-million-selling, genre-defying hit. The action-RPG sort of stumbled into the spotlight in 2017, tasked with amassing attention in the months following the Nintendo Switch's incredible debut with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
