It’s no secret that Scott Pilgrim is underrated. A comic series that has never quite got the appreciation it deserves from a lot of hardcore comic fans, its movie was a box office failure despite being exceptionally good. Scott Pilgrim is different from any other comic on this list because it’s purely a comedy, a touching one but a comedy nonetheless and it is a very funny one at that.

Scott Pilgrim revolves around a loser 23 year old in a mediocre rock band who meets a girl and has to fight her seven evil exes to win her love. It’s a very energetic and lively comic book that has its own unique style. It has a mix of high school drama reminiscent of the 90s and early 2000s but largely looks video game inspired as well as taking its structure from Japanese manga, publishing its story in six larger volumes as opposed to a weekly issue.

Scott Pilgrim presents its characters with a surprising amount of depth despite being seemingly a comedy. This is best shown in Knives Chao, Scott’s on again/off again girlfriend who is still in high school, and too young to appreciate that her older boyfriend is in fact a loser. Scott seems to hang around with younger girls because they view him as cool and hip whereas girls his own age are more mocking towards him. This also leads to some funny dialogue.

It tells a legitimately fun story with fleshed out characters and at the very least I found it funnier than any other comedy book I’ve read short of Douglas Adams. It’s a slight investment with 7 volumes but it’s certainly worth it and a lot cheaper than most other comics in collected series so take a look. It’s not like anything you’ve read before, but that’s part of the fun.

Even though trophy support for older games on PS Plus Premium isn’t always great, you can always count on Sony’s first-party games to have it.If you like collecting these digital trinkets, you’re in luck, because today’s big PlayStation Plus update includes two classic games that can now be used to earn Trophies.

Each trophy list for Ape Academy 2 and Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror includes the platinum cherry on top. You can look at their respective listings here and here if you’re interested.

The list for Dark Mirror appears to be quite simple—you can basically earn them all by finishing the game. The trophies in Ape Academy 2 appear to be a little more complicated, requiring you to complete particular objectives in card battles and advance to specified rankings. Nonetheless, it doesn’t seem too difficult, so we’re looking at a couple of quite simple platinums.

Ridge Racer: Type 4 is this month’s other premium classic game; sadly, it does not offer trophies. But it makes up for it by being a complete banger.

However, will you be obtaining some of these trophies with a nostalgic flavor?

This year, Sony produced some truly outstanding work, releasing four high-profile games on the PS5 and PS4 (not to mention the numerous PC ports). The earliest of these, Horizon Forbidden West, arrived in February of 2022 and got the year off to a strong start. One of Aloy’s sophomore journey’s greatest strengths, among the many other things we like about it, is its excellent art direction. The Art of Horizon Forbidden West allows you to now delve deeply into the game’s visuals.

This coffee table book, which was published by Dark Horse Books, contains 200 pages of concept art and developer commentary. It provides an inside look at the process used to develop engaging characters and settings, and Forbidden West is certainly not lacking in either.

Bloody hell, it took a while, but The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s long-awaited PS5 release date has been announced. The updated role-playing game will go on sale on December 14th, and CD Projekt Red reiterates that PS4 owners can get a free PS5 upgrade.

The “next-gen” game will have a physical edition at a later, as of yet unspecified time.

Though we still lack specific information about what the current-gen version will offer, don’t worry; it appears that all of our most pressing questions will be resolved soon. Next week, the developer says, will feature a livestream that will feature gameplay and more details. Hence, something to anticipate.

But in all honesty, we’re just relieved that this PS5 edition won’t be delayed any further. Will you play through The Witcher 3 again right before Christmas? Post your thoughts in the section below.
