Suspend/Resume Arrives for PS4 Just in Time for MLB 15
Sony today released System Update 2.50 for the PlayStation 4. The update includes a feature that was announced for the console at its initial reveal - Suspend/Resume.

Supported by nearly all of your PS4 games, you can jump in and out of your games with just the press of the PS button. Quickly switch from Rest Mode t...

Poll Results Demonstrate the Challenge for an Unlicensed Football Game
Given that anticipation for a new football game has been especially high in recent months, with Joe Montana Football 16 expected later this year and Mutant Football League coming at some point down the line, it's interesting to evaluate the market for such games.

MLB 15: The Show Dynamic Themes Now Available on PS4
Sony has released the 30 team-specific Dynamic Themes for MLB 15: The Show on PlayStation 4. There's also a theme offered for the game in general. They're being sold for $3.49 each.

Overdog Matchmaking Launched on Xbox One
Some of you may remember coverage on a startup called Overdog in 2013. The service was originally envisioned as a way to play online games against professional athletes with a community to be built around that interest. Since then Overdog has evolved more towards the latter part of that mission though there is still an element of having an opportunity to play online with "influencers". Primarily it has become a general matchmaking service which brings together gamers with simi...
