Open the door. Get on the floor. Everybody walk the dinosaur

News If We Have to See Struggling, a Grotesque Co-Op Platformer Coming to PS4, Then So Do You
Suffer with us

The above trailer might look like a regular competitive run n' gunner, but there's more to its gameplay that isn't obvious in the video. Each match contains five rounds, and each of those rounds...
Hands On Planet Coaster Is a Fun PS4 Ride with Bumps Along the Way
Sickener
We were going to bring you a Planet Coaster: Console Edition review today, but we’ve had to settle for the PlayStation 4 version and, frankly, we’re so close to the PlayStation 5’s launch now that we didn’t want to blow our cotton candy early.
