Yes, there's a third part of the news. Thankfully, this one is short:

PlayStation's showcase ended with a bang today as Insomniac shared a lengthy 11-minute gameplay demo of Spider-Man 2, which is coming this year to PS5 and eventually to PC.

Destiny 2: The Final Shape will finally end its current, long-running story arc, but will also see the return of a friendly face. Cayde-6 lives.
Or, at least, Cayde-6 appears in the expansion—technical aliveness to be determined. Bungie killed off the fan-favorite robot in 2018 expansion Forsaken, but a teaser shown during today's PlayStation Showcase (embedded above) sees Cayde catching up on current events from "wherever the hell here is"—inside the Traveler, our resident Destinyhead informs me. Bungie also confirmed in a blog post that actor Nathan Fillion is reprising the role for The Final Saga.

OK, I'll play this open world settlement builder that's got sky whales, ridable mice, and Link's glider

There's a lot going on in the announcement trailer for Towers of Aghasba. Like, a lot. A tribe has returned to their homeland to find it a wasteland, which is a huge bummer, but for a ruined world it sure looks like an interesting one.
There are so many different things happening in the trailer it's hard to put Towers of Aghasba into a single category. There's open world exploration, including using a glider to soar through the sky to swimming deep underwater to riding what looks like a giant mouse. There's settlement building. Combat. Farming. Crafting. And there's even co-op play, based on the description from the official site.

Take-Two CEO says GTA 6 'needs to be something you've never seen before' a year after leaks where it looked like something we've seen before

With rumours percolating that we might see GTA 6 as soon as next year, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has been out and about, chatting about Rockstar's game design philosophy and the approach the studio is taking to its next open-world crime caper. Turns out the goal is just to "seek perfection" and turn out "something you've never seen before". Well, that's easy then.

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum reviews round-up: lots of folk are saying they hates it
https://www.pcgamer.com/the-lord-of-the-rings-gollum-reviews-round-up-lots-of-folk-are-saying-they-hates-it/
Lord of the Rings: Gollum launches this week, and here's the PCG review. Plenty of other outlets have published theirs, however, and wow: This game is taking an utter, utter beating. Gollum's PC version currently stands at 43% on Metacritic, while the PlayStation version's on an even-more abysmal 37%. The Guardian's Nick Reuben goes straight in with both feet, awarding the game one star (out of five) and leading with the strapline: "boil it, mash it, stick it in the bin".

WoW Classic players furious at addition of controversial item, Blizzard says it's a necessary evil in the 'unwinnable war' against bots, scammers, and RMT workshops

Blizzard has announced it's adding the World of Warcraft Token to WoW Classic, an item that can be bought with real money and used for either 30 days of game time or sold in the auction house for gold. This is an item that has always been somewhat controversial among WoW players and, when we're talking Classic, it is exactly the kind of thing some players hoped never to see. Essentially the WoW Token allows players to swap real money for gold, without going through some shady third party dealer, and some folk think this just shouldn't be in the game.
