'Ghost Of Tsushima' Has PS4's Highest Ever User Score On Metacritic
It's been a wild summer for PlayStation, as they've had two enormous releases in the form of The Last of Us Part 2 and Ghost of Tsushima. And the reaction and conversation around both could not be more different.

The Last of Us Part 2 found itself the center of gaming's latest culture war where the ammo being used was negative reviews of the game on Metacritic. The game has 130,000 user reviews on the site, probably 6x more than any other game I've ever seen, and it has been a constant war between those who loved the game, and those who hated it for various reasons.

Well, uh, Ghost of Tsushima is pretty much the exact opposite situation.

Ghost of Tsushima has the highest user scores of any PS4 game I've seen. And Xbox One game. And Switch game. Yeah.

Ghost of Tsushima is currently rocking a 9.3/10 as its Metacritic user score, the first game to test out the site's new "you must wait 36 hours before posting a user review" system that was implemented after thousands of negative reviews of TLOU2 came in after the first few hours.

Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War confirmed by a Doritos promotion
Back in May a leak suggested the next Call of Duty Black Ops would either be called Cold War, or at least be set during the cold war -- a term George Orwell used to describe the tension between Russia and the rest of their allies post-World War II. That's now been confirmed, thanks to a Doritos promotion.

The promotion bears the Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War name as well as a logo we haven't seen before, and it runs from October 5 to October 31. Whether that will coincide with the launch of the game is unknown. During the promotion packets of Doritos will give players codes for two xp in its multiplayer mode, and put them in a draw to win two xp for a year. The small print notes the game's ESRB rating is pending.
