No one wants to get stuck with the wrong gaming accessories. While it may be fun for some gamers to see how far they can go by ditching their controllers and playing with a Guitar Hero controller or something even more inane, most of us will have a better time playing with good and proper gear. So, if you're left-handed, you shouldn't have to settle for all the right-handed gaming mice out there.
Fortunately, there are some options. There are more than a few ambidextrous mice that offer just as much capability for southpaw gaming as they do for righties. Some don't mirror all the buttons, but some do, so you can get the benefits from thumb buttons, which can really make a difference for popping abilities in games.

After plunking down $400-$500 on a PlayStation 5 console, you might find your coffers draining oh so quickly after you realize that PS5 video game can cost upwards of $69.99 each. Fortunately, like all video games, PS5 games eventually go down in price, irregardless of how good the games are. The games listed here are very good and right now they also happen to be the cheapest PS5 games out there.
The games listed below are PlayStation exclusive video games. Aside from Horizon Forbidden West, they're also PS5 exclusive titles, meaning they were built from the ground up to take advantage of the PS5's graphical power, with no concessions made to make it backwards compatible with legacy consoles.

After 25 years of hanging out with Luffy and friends, Bandai Namco aims to show the One Piece series still has a few tricks up its stretchy sleeves by converting the beloved pirate crew into a proper JRPG. But the challenge in taking one of the most popular names in anime and making it fit the mold of one of the most beloved game genres is not a small one, and so developer I Love Computer Art has switched up many of the fundamentals to make it better suited for the iconic pirate adventure. In my time with it, I was pleasantly surprised how many of these changes felt like improvements over the standard JRPG recipe, and more importantly, made things feel much more in line with what one might expect from One Piece. After three hours...
The original Dead Space is a video games classic, and a horror story fondly remembered by many. The tale of one engineer fighting to survive within the gloomy, corpse-filled corridors of a dead mining ship left a lasting impression, and so when it came to the remake developer EA Motive has been careful in how it approached the narrative.
But there are some changes. Just like the remake looks different, it’s also scripted differently. That’s because all teams working on Dead Space had the same goal.
“Overall it was to give the narrative the same kind of glow-up that everything else had,” says Jo Berry, senior writer on Dead Space. “As a player, generally what you want is to have the same feeling again, feel like you're playing it for...
Xbox boss Phil Spencer has claimed that PlayStation’s move to block Microsoft's Activision Blizzard acquisition is rooted in its desire to “protect their dominance on console” by “making Xbox smaller”.
As reported by Eurogamer, Spencer told the Second Request podcast that Sony is just looking to retain its own dominance in the console market by opposing Xbox's acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
"There’s really only been one major opposer to the deal and it's Sony, and Sony’s trying to protect their dominance on console, and the way they grow is by making Xbox smaller," Spencer said.
"They have a very different view of the industry than we do. They don’t ship their games day and date on PC, [and] they don’t put their games in the...

From the end of one world to the end of another, FromSoftware has a penchant for the apocalypse.
In an interview with IGN, Armored Core 6 concept creator Hidetaka Miyazaki and director Masaru Yamamura (who was previously lead designer on Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice) talked about the big Game Awards reveal and why FromSoftware seems drawn to the apocalypse setting for their games.
“I would say there are two main reasons why we tend towards these apocalyptic settings,” Miyazaki says. “One is purely direct to taste, and the preference of the game director and game developers.”
Miyazaki cites FromSoftware’s previous CEO Naotoshi Zin who directed King’s Field and the older Armored Core games. “My tastes happen to be similar, so I think...
In 2019, Payday 2 publisher Starbreeze Studios was on the brink of going under. The studio was facing a lack of cash on-hand to keep the company running, causing leadership to sell off assets to various companies to help save Starbreeze Studios.
Fast-forward to the present day, and Starbreeze Studios is in a much better place, introducing a brand new studio in the UK while continuing work on Payday 3. In an interview with IGN, Starbreeze CEO Tobias Sjögren spoke about the new UK studio, and shared an update on the upcoming sequel.
"[Payday 3]'s coming along really well. I'm super excited about telling more about it, but we can't at this point in time," Sjögren said. "We haven't released any other information [other] than we are...
Across my roughly three hours of time spent hands-on with Forspoken, I arrived in a fantastical new world, battled a dragon, and took part in a prison break. This all sounds like it should be very exciting, but in truth, so far Forspoken feels like a game getting in its own way. The latest action RPG from Square Enix definitely does display some potential thanks to a promising combat system that could become excitingly nuanced over time, but its opening sections sadly often feel uninspired.
I was able to play through chapters two, three, and five, which allowed me to gain a pretty good grasp of Forspoken’s rhythm. The open world of Athia is littered with things to do including side missions, dungeons, and battles aplenty, its variety...
When FromSoftware announced Armored Core VI at last week's Game Awards, the top comment in the dedicated subreddit's announcement thread read simply, "May this subreddit rightfully grow from obscurity."
Always a cult series at best, Armored Core was further overshadowed by the rise of the so-called Soulsborne genre, which propelled FromSoftware from obscurity to one of the top studios in the world. But Armored Core has been a around a long time — far longer than Demon's Souls or Dark Souls. During its heyday on the PlayStation and PlayStation 2, it earned a cult audience with its strong designs; deep array of parts, and intense split-screen combat. The last Armored Core — an ambitious online game that pit squads of players against one...
Hearthstone has been around for a long time now - almost nine years - and in that time the game has evolved a great deal. That’s part and parcel for any live service game, of course, but it’s also a reflection of the development team learning from all those years of designing cards, mechanics, classes, events, modes and more. And as Hearthstone has grown, so too has its development team, even hiring some really well-known pro players and personalities to bring their own expertise and passion to bear on the game.
Back in mid-October during my trip to Blizzard HQ to see the new Death Knight class, I caught up with one such well-known Hearthstone personality turned developer, Cora Georgiou. A prominent commentator and host for several...
In November 2022, alongside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II becoming the best-selling game of the year so far, the greater availability of PlayStation 5 consoles has led to 45% growth in video game hardware dollar sales when compared to November 2021.
As detailed by The NPD Group's Mat Piscatella, U.S. consumer spending as a whole in the world of video games reached $6.3 billion in November 2022, which itself was a 3% increase from the same time last year.
The PS5 was the best-selling console in the U.S. in both unit and dollar sales in the month and it remains the best-selling console of 2022 in dollar sales. Nintendo Switch, for now, is holding on as the best-selling console in units sold.
As for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II...
Welcome to the 12th of the 12th, a day of numerically pleasing things. I do, of course, mean slashed RRPs, And what better case in point than the heavily reduced Atari VCS All In One.

As the end of the year approaches, it's time to tally up the votes and see which games were the best in 2022. There is no shortage of exciting games we got to experience this year. We had amazing entries in acclaimed franchises and a bunch of great indie titles that flourished.
Early in the year, we got one of the most anticipated games of the year with Elden Ring. Its masterful design, art, and new approachability garnered praise from veterans of previous soulslike games and newcomers who had previously avoided the genre. Meanwhile, PlayStation released sequels for two of their biggest franchises, Horizon Forbidden West and God of War: Ragnarok. It was a fantastic treat for Playstation fans to mark the beginning and end of the year...
By their very competitive, dog-eat-dog nature, battle royale games don’t tend to be about making friends with the people you meet. But with its big 2.0 revamp, Call of Duty: Warzone has made some admirable efforts toward inspiring us to work together, communicate, and socialize even as we fight to be the last ones standing. Some of its other new ideas don’t pay off quite as well, such as the relatively bland new map and its ill-advised backpack system. But even if you put all of that aside, the introduction of an excellent new PvPvE mode is more than reason enough to round up a squad and drop back into Warzone for a few matches. After all, the real victory screen might just be the friends we made along the way.
The first...
The food truck but for guns, Xûr, is now live in Destiny 2 for the weekend until next week's reset. If you're looking to get your some shiny new Exotic armor or weapons for your Guardian, look no further.

It's a bad sign when there were more Muppets at The Game Awards than Xbox world premieres. As someone who's been playing and covering Xbox for 20 years, I’m not sure I’ve ever been more baffled by the console-maker’s decision-making. I tweeted my frustration as soon as the industry's glitziest event of the year came to its awkward end, and if the hundreds of responses to that tweet told me anything, it's that this was no hot take. How could it be? Microsoft literally showed nothing for the year to come, despite promising us a huge 2023 at last summer's Xbox Showcase.
In June last year I foolishly declared the years-long exclusives drought over ahead of Microsoft’s fantastic Fall 2021. In hindsight, that period has been an exception...
To say the COVID-19 pandemic affected Hideo Kojima's writing of Death Stranding 2 would be an understatement.
The Kojima Productions founder officially unveiled the sequel at tonight's Game Awards, and after showing the first look, stayed on stage for a while to answer some questions from host Geoff Keighley.
“I had the story written before the pandemic, but after experiencing the pandemic, I rewrote the whole thing from scratch," he told Keighley after being asked how the pandemic affected the game. "I also didn’t want to predict any more future, so I rewrote it.”
It's true that Kojima has earned a somewhat infamous reputation for predicting the future with his games; Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty was far ahead of its time...
It’s rare that a pistol gets to be the star of the show in a video game, but that’s exactly what happened in Dead Space. The 2008 survival horror classic made the Plasma Cutter, a handgun-like tool that shoots vertical or horizontal projectiles, the most essential tool for dismembering your necromorph enemies. When it came to remaking Dead Space, developer EA Motive knew that it had to do right by this iconic weapon. And so it’s exactly as you remember.
“Who wants to change the Plasma Cutter? It's perfect as it is,” says Roman Campos-Oriola, creative director on Dead Space at EA Motive. “I'm joking a bit, but it's exactly the way we approached that weapon during the development.
“Anybody [who] played any Dead Space before remembers...
I have an affinity for the absurd, silly, and downright stupid (look no further than Goat Simulator 3 review as evidence), so when I heard about a game where you’re being stalked by the demonic equivalent of Thomas the Tank Engine, I was suitably excited. But while Choo-Choo Charles’ premise brings me no end of joy, the janky and barebones adventure itself is way more dull than I thought possible. Unfortunately, this comedy game disguised as a horror game manages to be devoid of humor and terror in equal measure, and even though the runtime is only about 90 minutes, I found myself looking for a way off this crazy train much sooner.
Choo-Choo Charles may present itself as nightmare fuel on the outside, but this whole game is actually...
Last night, we got our first proper gameplay trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor at The Game Awards, along with a March 17, 2023 release date. With that came a proper long look at Jedi hero Cal Kestis, a young man who’s clearly undergone some pretty massive changes since the ending of Fallen Order.
For one, he’s got a new look - Cal’s ditched the poncho from Fallen Order and now has a more adventuresome, almost Han Solo look to him. He’s grown some facial hair, and his lightsabers are evolving as well as he grows more powerful and resourceful.
But the changes are far from just skin-deep. IGN spoke to Cal’s actor Cameron Monaghan ahead of the trailer release about how his character has been impacted in the five year time gap between...
Valorant developer Riot Games is suing NetEase over its game, Hyper Front.
According to Polygon, a filing at a UK court claims that Hyper Front is a “copy of substantial parts of Valorant”. Riot claims there are a number of similarities, including characters, maps, weapons, weapon skins, weapons stats, and charms.
“All of our creative choices are mirrored in NetEase’s game,” said Riot Games’ lawyer, Dan Nabel. “We don’t think that changing the color of a character ability or slightly modifying the visual appearance changes the fact that it’s copyright infringement. It’s like that old saying, ‘You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.’”
Valorant is a free-to-play first-person shooter that pits two teams of five against...
No other racing game released this year looks quite like Need for Speed Unbound, and that can be a difficult thing to achieve in such an established genre so steeped in convention. Criterion has gone all-in with wild, animated visual flair that often appears as though it’s been lifted from the pages of a comic book, even as the actual driving and split day/night structure of its races are immediately familiar to those of us who appreciated 2019’s Need for Speed Heat. The result is a uniquely styled racer that regularly looks quite fabulous in motion, though its grating story mode goes over like a banana in the tailpipe and the online mode simply feels stripped down and unfinished.
While Heat hardly revolutionised arcade racing, it was...

If your heart containers overflow for somebody, never assume that it's simply understood. What’s obvious info on your HUD may not be clearly painted on someone else’s. The solution: lock-on to the object of your affection and fire something lovely their way. Let there be zero doubts.
Collected below are gaming (and gaming adjacent) gifts that unmistakably deliver a short, sharp area-of-effect burst of adoration. Most of these are simple, perfectly platonic options. Others could emit a subtle hint of hoping to level up your relations to something more... cooperative multiplayer.
I’ll leave you to figure out which item is needed for your main objective. Better yet, I’ve also provided a fantastic, safe way to pay for it all…

We’re still waiting for Tekken 8, but fighting game fans got a little something to tide them over until the next King of Iron Fist Tournament at this year’s Game Awards: a brand-new trailer, complete with a look at the game’s story mode, a bunch of returning favorites (and one we haven’t seen in the Tekken canon since the original PlayStation), a glimpse of Tekken 8’s Heat system, which encourages aggressive play, more on what might be the final showdown between protagonist/anti-hero Jin Kazama and Father-of-the-Year nominee Kazuya Mishima, and a glimpse at the new tech powering all of it.
It's quite a bit to take in. Luckily, IGN got to sit down with Tekken 8 executive producer Katsuhiro Harada to break everything down.

During his acceptance speech for Game of the Year, Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki promised more Elden Ring content could be on the way.
FromSoftware's massive RPG, Elden Ring, won Game of the Year at this year's Game Awards. Director Miyazaki accepted the award on stage and promised, "As for Elden Ring, we have several more things we want to do."
Elden Ring was released earlier this year, and FromSoftware has already released a new content expansion called Colosseum, where players can battle each other in PvP combat. However, many fans are expecting some form of story DLC given every FromSoftware SouldBorne game received some kind of narrative expansion.
This includes the Dark Souls trilogy, as well as Bloodborne.

Cyberpunk 2077's major 2023 expansion, Phantom Liberty, will see Idris Elba join the cast. Elba's role in the upcoming DLC was revealed in a new trailer showcased during The Game Awards this evening.
Developer CD Projekt Red has since confirmed Elba will be playing a character called Solomon Reed, a veteran New United States of America agent who the studio has teased is "apparently the only person players can trust to help them fulfill an impossible mission of espionage and survival."
CD Projekt Red recently confirmed Phantom Liberty will be paid DLC when it's released in 2023, however the studio has not confirmed a price or specific release date for the update.
Little else is known about Phantom Liberty at this stage, though it is...
