Sony Introduces PlayStation Stars Loyalty Program For Gamers

Lyon could have added a second goal in the first half but Toulouse goalkeeper Maxime Dupe denied Karl Toko Ekambi in the 12th, saved Lacazette´s chip in the 23rd, and pushed Corentin Tolisso´s header behind in the 41st.

One day after ending an eight-game postseason losing streak, the Cleveland Guardians will look to record another milestone when they face the visiting Tampa Bay Rays in Game 2 of the best-of-three American League wild-card series on Saturday.
Incredible footage has emerged showing the moment the chess prodigy accused of cheating with vibrating anal beads was subjected to an all-over body scan with a handheld detector before a US championship game. 

Sony on Thursday introduced its PlayStation Stars loyalty program for PS5 and PS4 gamers. It'll be free to join, and players will be able to earn loyalty points by completing a variety of campaigns and activities. Players can choose from a catalog of options to redeem points, including PlayStation Network wallet funds and select PlayStation Store products.

Tampa Bay will look to bounce back behind right-hander Tyler Glasnow (0-0, 1.35 ERA in the regular season), who rejoined the team's rotation last week after missing nearly 14 months because of Tommy John surgery.

Because Tunic doesn't simply copy the Zelda formula — it complicates it. There are items you pick up, berries and little effigies, that you've never encountered before, in this game or any other. And you're not told what to do with them. Nor, in fact, are you really told much else.

The teams entered the postseason heading in opposite directions, and that trend continued in Game 1. Tampa Bay has lost six straight games while the American League Central champion Guardians have won 25 of their last 31 games.

The PlayStation Stars program will launch later this year, though an exact time frame hasn't been provided yet. CNET reached out to PlayStation, but the gaming giant didn't immediately respond for comment.

Digital collectibles are also on their way to the PS5 via the Stars program. Collectibles could be figurines of iconic characters -- think Solid Snake or Ratchet & Clank -- or they could be representations of famous Sony devices throughout history. 

Campaigns will include PlayStation's "Monthly Check-In" campaign, where you can earn points just for playing any game on your console. Other activities will require you to win tournaments or unlock trophies to earn points -- or even be the first player in your local time zone to make it to platinum for a blockbuster title (which indicates that a player has achieved 100% completion in that game).

Figure things out. Perhaps you'll need to consult one of Tunic's most delightful features — an in-game manual, half of it written in cryptic runes, that you literally piece together page by page — or perhaps you won't. However you go about it, the feeling of sheer discovery is tremendous.

Come to think of it, maybe 'complications' isn't the word.
'Embellishments' might be better. Tunic's world is so beautiful in both its sun-dappled, well, beauty and its clockwork design that it deserves to be described in softer terms. It's like holding a Fabergé egg in your hands.
