And you thought that after E3 there wouldn’t be any new video game news, did you? Well, fortunately for you, we still have Gamescom. Hosted in Cologne, Germany, this has been called Europe’s answer to E3 and, not surprisingly, it deserves the title; with a huge list of presenters including Activision, Nintendo, and Square Enix all bringing out their best,…

Even thought E3‘s visions of new games are still dancing in our heads, it’s important for gamers to focus on the now as well; fortunately, just this past week, we got treated to some of the best now that now had to offer. We’re talking, of course, about the latest installment in the award-winning Batman franchise and Batman: Arkham Knight.…

After a wait that seems to drag on between the giddy highs of the holiday season and the doldrums of the summer lull, gamers finally have a reason to get excited again. We’re talking, of course, about E3; for those of you who have been living under a rock for a while, E3, or the Electronic Entertainment Expo, is the…

In what was probably the most obvious reveal since Superman’s secret identity (we were pretty dumb kids in the 80‘s, apparently), we got a countdown from Bethesda. It was a simple timer, done up in a 50s style, with the words “Please Stand By” in the background; to most people, it’s pretty unassuming, but to fans of Bethesda’s work, it…

It’s an unfortunate fact of gaming that even AAA titles can miss the mark from time to time. Sometimes it’s a weird concept, sometimes it’s bad controls and a limited story, and sometimes it’s really all of the above, but even games coming out of incredible studios aren’t always successful. With the kind of release schedule we as gamers expect…

Now that it’s finally summer and your responsibilities have relaxed a bit, it’s time to play with other people. We don’t mean outside, either; with the extra free time you’ve got in the summer, it’s time to break out the pizza, call some friends over, and play some multiplayer games on your PS4 as late into the night as possible.…

With only a matter of hours to go until The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is available, it’s time to take a look what’s expected. After numerous delays and teasers, the wait is finally over, and the sword-and-sorcery genre of RPGs is getting a boost that fans have been wanting for a long time. We’re, of course, talking about The Witcher…

With E3 less than a month away, we’ve still got a nice run of games coming out before the summer lull, and while there are a lot of new titles coming out, we thought it’d be worthwhile to check out some of the most anticipated new additions to popular franchises. In honor of E3 (as well as the fact that…

By itself, the PS4 is a pretty solid platform for gaming, media, and most anything else; however, like any good piece of technology, it can be improved upon. With the right accessories or modifications, you can put in the missing pieces to do incredible things with your PS4 that would have been difficult or, in some cases, impossible without them.…

It’s no secret that Sony’s goal is to have the Playstation 4 become the centerpiece of your entertainment system. In addition to running games, Sony wants to give you the option to stream all your media right through the console, giving you the ability to take your entire entertainment system wherever you go. Even since its inception, Sony’s hit the…

Once again, Sony is moving the game market out of the realm of physical media and into purely digital gaming in a new way. Back in 2014, Sony introduced the PlayStation Now, an online service that streams video games over active Internet connections. Emulating the success of streaming video services like Netflix and Hulu, PS Now lets you purchase a…

A few months ago, we brought you guys the Morpheus headset, Sony’s personal virtual reality system designed to be the next step in gaming. Since then, it’s come to rave reviews for both its design and performance, and, according to IGN, it’s slated for a 2016 release. We’re all excited about it; just seeing the demos, we know that VR…

Just last week, the PS4 got an exclusive that it’s wanted for a long time. Straight from the folks behind Dark Souls comes Bloodborne, the story of an unnamed protagonist’s journey into the Gothic town of Yharnam, a town plagued by creatures and beasts. Combining a rich atmosphere of terror with intricate gameplay mechanics, Bloodborne has already come to rave…

We all may wait anxiously for the big AAA titles every E3 season, but what you may not be aware of are the many, many other games that, while successes in their own right, never really make it to center stage. Just looking at the big-name titles is just the tip of the iceberg, and if you’re a Sony fan,…

The way video games across all platforms are going, there’s a pretty clear divide between big studios with big names, big budgets, and big press coverage, and the smaller indie game marketplace. Let’s not kid ourselves into thinking one is outright superior to the other, especially when games like Minecraft and Counter-Strike have already proven bigger successes than a lot…

Earlier this week, we were treated to an unfortunate surprise. According to directors Bruce Straley and Neil Druckmann, the next (possibly last) installment of the Uncharted series, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, was pushed back from this year to spring 2016. While this does really put us in a bind for exclusives, was have to take it on faith that…

With the competition for the next generation console in full swing between Microsoft’s Xbox One and Sony’s Playstation 4, both consoles are certainly delivering on their promises. Of course, now that the initial novelty has worn off, it’s time for some real work to begin if one side wants to dominate the North American market. Fortunately, fans of the PS4…

Yes, it’s that magical time of year again. After the Christmas rush of new games and before the summer drought, we’ve got E3 to keep us excited about what’s to come for the next year. Of course, like every year, we don’t really know what’s going to get announced until, well, it gets announced, so we’re left to our own…

Ever since the world witnessed the dozens of Oculus Rift demos spring up on YouTube a few years ago, players have wanted more. Virtual reality (VR) has been nothing more than a fever dream for players for decades, reserved only for science fiction. That isn’t the case any longer; VR is here, and it’s going to be commonplace very soon.…

Creating a list of the top PS1 games that need to be on PS Now was hard enough, but when I begin crafting the list for PS2 games that need to be on PS Now? It was even more difficult! I sincerely believe that the PlayStation 2 is the greatest console to ever be released: yes, even better than the…

It has been nearly two years since Sony unveiled its PlayStation Now (PS Now) service. Since then, speculation has run rampant: What could this mean for the PlayStation 4? How will this affect Sony going forward? Does this mean players will have access to an ever-growing backlog of PlayStation games? It is still too early to accurately predict the ramifications…
