Roku Photo Streams will allow you to use your own photos (or someone else’s photos, presumably) to replace the somewhat cartoonish themes the Roku screensavers have had over the years. It’s not that they were bad, but they definitely lacked the sophistication and photorealism that Apple, Google and Amazon have brought to the game, which very much turned your idle TV into a digital art piece....

We are mere days away from the next mainline entry in the Like a Dragon series – and coming after Like a Dragon: Gaiden leaves LAD: Infinite Wealth in an interesting position. With Gaiden, players had an experience that was very much akin to the first six mainline games (and the Yakuza Zero prequel) with fast action and beat-em-up gameplay elements.
