Now, it’s not the giants that are winning… it’s the outliers. We’re watching the rise of a quiet rebellion, where smaller studios and even solo devs are outselling and outsh

To casual gamers, it might look like business as usual — but to those paying attention, thi

There used to be a time when leaks were accidents — a dev build misplaced, a test image slipped online, a rumor whispered in a forum that spiraled into chaos. Leaks are part of the ecosystem. The PlayStation Plus  lineup for November allegedly leaked early this week, and before Sony even said a word, Twitter, Reddit, and YouTube had already broken down every frame, debated every title, and built anticipation without a

The Gamerhood HQ | Knux456 There’s something poetic about seeing an old fighter step back into the arena. In the early PlayStation days, Battle Arena Toshinden  was one of those titles that made you stop and realize, “Wait… games can look like this now?” It wasn’t just about fighting — it was about evolution. 3D graphics were still young, and every punch or sword swing felt like a step into the future.

The Gamerhood HQ | Knux456 When Code Starts Competing for Clout We used to laugh at the idea of an AI streamer — now they’re pulling sponsorships, hosting live chats, and never missing a single post.
