August: A Goldmine of Game Announcements
August is shaping up to be a landmark month for game chatter thanks to the raging frenzy of Gamescom. However, releases remain sparse until the very end when two tantalizing titles drop:
- Metal Gear Solid: Delta – an action‑adventure that promises to pull you into the Gekko world once again.
- Lost Soul Aside – a PlayStation 5 exclusive that we’re only getting a taste of until the final weeks of August.
PlayStation Plus: A Treasure Trove Waiting to Be Explored
On August 5th, a fresh line‑up of PlayStation Plus games will arrive. Yet, the weekend preceding this date remains a playground for “another amazing month of games.” While navigating the sprawling backlog of PS Plus titles can be downright cumbersome, those menus hide an abundance of top‑tier games that many users may not know exist.
A Call to Action: Let’s Celebrate These Hidden Gems

Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition
Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition – The Definitive Action Experience

World War Z: Aftermath
New PS Plus Highlights: DayZ & a Fast‑Paced Alternative
DayZ is set to debut next month on PS Plus. The title began as a mod for Arma 2 before evolving into a standalone, sprawling zombie‑survival saga. It delivers a grueling, punishing experience, but its old, clunky mechanics can feel sluggish, and mastering the game demands a significant time investment.
Looking for a lighter, more frantic option?
- World War Z: Aftermath offers a hybrid arcade‑style shooter that echoes Left 4 Dead while unleashing hundreds of zombies at once.
- Developed by the same team that created Space Marine 2, the game promises chaotic mayhem that keeps players on their toes.
- Gather a group of friends and experience the pleasure of shredding thousands of undead creatures together.
