Over the weekend, Spider-Man: Homecoming became Sony's second-largest opening ever, pulling in an impressive $US117 million ($153.2 million) and being on track to ultimately make $US300 million ($392.9 million) at the domestic box office alone. With that financial win in its pocket, Sony finally has to feel confident again about Spidey's cinematic future.

That's You is the first game released for Sony's new PlayLink platform for the PlayStation 4. Out now, it's a party game for two to six players, using your phone and a dedicated app for a "social quiz" that asks you to guess which of your friends or family everyone else thinks would be the answer to any of over 1000 questions.

The new consoles have finally been announced, the dust is beginning to settle, and now there are a lot of choices for anyone wanting to make their way back into gaming or starting from scratch. Maybe you don't know one PS4 SKU from another or have any idea who Nathan Drake is — and that's ok. Not everyone has the time or the motivation to be a gaming enthusiast, and so this guide is for the rest of you: explaining the consoles, the games, and the technologies you need to know about to hold up a reasonably detailed conversation about video gaming in 2017.

It's that time of year when manufacturers are cycling out old TVs for their latest ones. And that means you can get some pretty solid deals on end-of-life models, like this 65" 4K Sony TV with HDR support.

Sony today pulled a game from the PlayStation Network that claimed to be the "easiest PS4 Platinum trophy," allowing a player to earn one of the prized achievements by playing for just a few minutes. The game, called 1000 Top Rated, was online for two days before Sony yanked it.

Every couple of Fridays, we have Jackbox games on the chill-out TV in the middle of our office. Anyone that wants to play brings their phone to tap answers in Quiplash and maybe draw one or two things in Bidiots. It's simple and fun, for an hour or maybe two. It brings people together.

Sony's PlayLink does exactly that, but with more depth — like serious, long games like Hidden Agenda (from the team that made Until Dawn) as well as party games like Knowledge is Power and That's You! If you've got a PS4 and some friends or family or maybe strangers to play with, it's a tempting proposition.

Sony may have shown more of the new God Of War at their press conference Tuesday, but there's still a lot they haven't explained about the game. A few things are clear: Kratos is a dad, and the focus had shifted from Greek mythology to Norse myth. I sat down with the game's director Cory Barlog today at E3 to to get a better sense of what's in store for our angry Spartan.

As of 11 June 2017, Sony has sold 60.4 million PlayStation 4 consoles globally.

The major E3 press conferences are over, and the rain of game announcements has abated. EA, Microsoft, Bethesda, Ubisoft, Sony, and Nintendo all did their thing. It's up to us to sort through the rubble.

"Oh crap that's a lot of zombies" game Days Gone caused a stir last year, but made like days and became gone shortly after. Today's Sony E3 press conference showed off its quieter side.

A new original game from Until Dawn developer Supermassive Games was quietly dropped at the beginning of Sony's pre-show. It's called Hidden Agenda, and it's described as "a gritty crime thriller" supporting one to five players. The best part is, the devs looked at how people were playing Until Dawn and, with their next game, worked those trends into the gameplay of the new title.

Kratos is back (again), and yes, he's still half-god, half-beard, all-dad.

Sony just wrapped their E3 2017 press conference, where Insomniac's Spider-Man almost managed to distract from the fact that they didn't announce Bloodborne 2.

Naughty Dog gave us a closer look at Chloe and Nadine's standalone adventure during today's PlayStation conference, which gives us another chance to see these ladies kick a lot of arse.

The Sony conference kicks off here at 11AM, you should watch it.

Also we're liveblogging here!

We're a few days out from E3, but that doesn't mean we can't get some discussion going on the Sony front. Sure, there's no PS5 in the wings and Death Stranding will be just as befuddling as it always was. It's the wild speculation and unbridled anticipation that counts, right?

Backward compatibility is a big draw for console gamers nostalgic for older titles, but new data shows that Xbox One players don't spend much time revisiting backward-compatible Xbox 360 games.

How much effort should today's console makers put into keeping the classics in print and playable on modern hardware? There's a lot of room for debate, but one PlayStation exec just weighed in with what has to be the Worst Possible Take.

Game Freak is best known for one thing: Pokemon. But while they created the iconic franchise, Game Freak isn't afraid to let its developers get their sea legs making non-Pocket Monster games on non-Nintendo hardware. That's why, in the past few years, Game Freak has released a number of totally original titles on platforms you might not expect.
