Cyberpunk 2077 9 Other Ps4 Games That Were Too Buggy To Enjoy At Launch

It’s something that many take for granted these days, but there was a time not too long ago when consoles couldn’t connect to the internet. The idea of having no online gaming and no DLC may sound terrible to some, but there was actually one big benefit of consoles being offline.

Cyberpunk 2077 Every Cyberware Weapon Ranked

Choosing between the four cyberware weapons is a real task in Cyberpunk 2077. Each one has a function that they do better than the others, so it’s perfectly legitimate for a player to love even the “worst” weapon because that item happens to be the best be for their build.

Def Jam May Revive Rapper Fighting Game Franchise

While Def Jam is mostly associated with distributing hip hop, pop, and urban music from artists such as Big Sean, Kanye West, Nas, 2 Chainz, Teyana Taylor, and Pusha T, there was a time in the early 2002s when the company lent its name to a series of video games, including Def Jam Vendetta, Def Jam: Fight For NY and Def Jam Icon.
