Sony has revealed some games that PlayStation Plus members can claim in December, to help keep them busy throughout the long winter. This is a pretty good drop, and one pick is a bona-fide GOTY-winner. First up, the co-op delight It Takes Two. We enjoyed this split-screen co-op adventure, even if we found the story to be a bit on the cheesy side. Simply put, the game is a strictly two-player affair and each person controls one half of a married couple as they navigate areas inspired by Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and other movies in which people shrink down for some reason. It was a legitimate hit upon release back in 2021, eventually winning Game of the Year at The Game Awards. Temtem is monster-taming RPG, also known as a Pokémon clone. Pikachu-heads will find plenty to like here, including familiar turn-based battles and a whole bunch of cute (and deadly) creatures to collect. This game has a more robust online feature set than any Pokémon title, however, with an open world filled with actual people and their fighting pets. Players can chat and challenge these other tamers to battles. The entire game can also be played cooperatively with a friend. Finally, theres Aliens: Dark Descent, a real-time strategy game in which players command a squad of marines as they try to stop a Xenomorph outbreak. As indicated by the title, its set in the universe of the Alien franchise, complete with sinister agents of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. The large open levels are fun to navigate and the vibes are stellar. Incidentally, this game also hit Xbox Game Pass today. All three games will be available to PlayStation Plus members on December 3 until January 6. Also, PlayStation Plus members only have until December 2 to add last months games, which included Hot Wheels Unleashed 2, Ghostwire: Tokyo and Death Note Killer.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/playstation/decembers-ps-plus-monthly-games-include-it-takes-two-and-temtem-181039449.html?src=rss

As of January 15, 2025, PlayStations Shuhei Yoshida will leave Sony but not retire from the industry entirely. Yoshida made the announcement while on the PlayStation Podcast Tuesday (a condensed transcription of the interview appears on the official PlayStation blog.) He hasnt provided a reason why hes leaving. Many know Yoshida as Sony Interactives Head of Indies Initiative, a position he got in 2019. In other words, hes in charge of getting indie games onto PlayStation consoles by networking with indie developers and promoting the games they made. Before this, he was part of the original team behind the first PlayStation console, meaning hes been working on these consoles since the very beginning. We interviewed him back in 2013 to talk about Sonys commitment to (and his particular affinity for) indie developers. Yoshida believes that since PlayStation has been in good hands and has been thriving since its release, its time he moved on. His love for the console series remains, and hes still highly optimistic about its future. You may have seen his powerful roast of Microsofts previous plan to prevent Xbox One owners from easily sharing physical games back in 2013. It only took Yoshida 21 seconds to make his point that the PS4 wouldnt have such restrictions and how bad of an idea Microsoft dreamed up. His horror when playtesting an early build of 2018s God of War is also somewhat known. As noted by Kotaku, Yoshidas announcement is almost a week away from the PlayStations 30th anniversary, December 3.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/playstation/shuhei-yoshida-is-leaving-playstation-in-january-after-three-decades-172042338.html?src=rss

While its not Black Friday just yet, this GoPro Hero13 Black bundle just received a substantial price cut on Amazon. The bundle is also available on the official GoPro website at the same discount of $349, a $100 difference from its typical price the lowest we've ever seen. The bundle contains a grip called The Handler, two Enduro batteries, two curved adhesive mounts, a 64GB SanDisk microSD card and a case to hold everything while on the go. Of course, the GoPro Hero13 Black is included. Weve tested the GoPro Hero13 Black before, and its quite the improvement over its predecessor, the Hero12 Black. Its maximum resolution of 5.3K at 120fps coupled with Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) makes it a compelling choice for power users. It also runs longer in both hot and cold environments, even when 10-bit video mode is active. For those who want to capture more footage, the Hero13 Black is rated for 1.5 hours of 4K at 30fps. The Hero13 Black is compatible with several GoPro add-ons like the Macro Lens Mod, Smart Motion Blur ND Filter 4-Pack and Anamorphic Lens Mod, all sold separately. The camera knows when youve attached one to it and automatically adjusts its settings to match. This function helps reduce the required setup time, allowing you to spend more time filming. Check out all of the latest Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals here.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/deals/this-gopro-hero13-black-bundle-is-100-off-for-black-friday-144338402.html?src=rss
