Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 PS5

Does it play offline? No

Does it require a download? Yes

In "good" old tradition, there is absolutely nothing you can do with this disc gaming-wise. Only 72 MB of data on here. Even after downloading, there is nothing you can do offline.

Silent Hill, Yakuza, Metal Gear Solid, Sonic! Some absolute giants are on sale now at Video Games Plus. Truly feels like this year's Black Friday offers are on another level. Check 'em out here (ref link): videogamesplus.ca/do...

A few minor visual issues and minor framedrops in the most excessive battle situations. Plays very solid overall.

Akupara Collection Switch

Does it play offline? Yes

There is an annoying issue in Kardboard Kings. It can be worked around, but will cost you progress when it happens. All games play fine otherwise. Review copy provided by @superraregames.bsky.social.

Lost Odyssey from 2008 is currently talk of the town following comments from the director of GOTY Clair Obscur Expedition 33. Best example for why games should be preserved. The masterpieces of today are shaped by what came before. It's fascinating to explore these origins!

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Switch 2

Does it play offline? Yes

Does it require a download? No

The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition comes with both the Switch 1 and Switch 2 version on card. Tested the Switch 2 version and didn't discover any noteworthy issues.

Correction on the Turok post. Confused our info with a different report. Turok 2 has indeed no split-screen multiplayer in this bundle. No permanent online requirements. A patch is still recommended for the other issues.

Several crashes and occasionally glitched collision detection prevent a better rating. Story can be played start to finish, though.
