What a ‘feature!’ Bethesda, hilariously, has had a hell of a time dealing with Sony policies over the years. Sony infamously blocked Bethesda when it came to console mods, and now here the publisher is dealing with another issue in 2018.

The warrior of Troy Remember with Koei Tecmo made that really awfulWarriorsgame based on The Iliad? I don’t blame you if you don’t, because it’s probably one of the company’s worst games.

He was previously inWarriors Orochi 3, but this newest update/expansion isbringing guest characters backinto the fold....

Just imagine the Chocobo racing theme We here at Destructoid sometimes get a bit distracted by the crasser things in life. When we’re not making sweet love withfictional wrestlers,we’re wanking off cars, but we’ve got to have a bit moreclassandcultureevery once in a while. Appreciate the fine arts a bit more: Mozart, Monet, drinking Sauvignon Blanc and owning a bajillion horses.
