Call of Duty: Black Ops III – Enough is Enough
With the release of yet another installment of the Call of Duty series on the near (November 26, 2015) horizon, one can’t help but wonder, when will it be over? Will they just keep releasing these things until the end of days? Will people finally just stop buying them, forcing the franchise into t
PlanetSide 2 Review
I’m not a big fan of competitive online shooters, and even less so of the free-to-play business model – largely due to the ways in which this model is so frequently and grotesquely abused by greedy companies looking to fleece players – so the free-to-play massively multiplayer online first-person sh
Ether One Review
Originally released on PC in early 2014, developer White Paper Games’ first-person exploration / puzzle game Ether One was recently ported to the PlayStation 4. Not only that but Ether One launched as an Instant Game Collection title, making it easily available to a number of players who might have
Partners In Crime: In Praise of Grand Theft Auto Online
Over the years, I’ve played and really enjoyed the majority of games in the Grand Theft Auto series, but even so, with the release of Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V, I had no intention of picking up the latest title on day-one, partly due to an existing backlog of games and partly due to the

Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed Review
I’ve long been fascinated by Japan, by its general culture and history alongside specific areas such as the country’s mythology and feudal era, not to mention more contemporary elements such as Japanese cinema and videogames. The Japan-set, cloying, inane, unpolished mess that is Akiba’s Trip: Undea
Hallway To Hell: In Praise of P.T.
I’ve always been a big fan of horror fiction in any medium and videogames are no exception, my love of horror games going back to the days of the original Resident Evil on PlayStation, not to mention some horror-themed games that preceded it, such as the Splatterhouse series. And although I’ve playe
Sony Sells Sony Online Entertainment; What Does This Mean for the PlayStation 4?
In a shocking turn of events, Sony Online Entertainment has been acquired by the investment firm Colombus Nova. SOE, which rose to fame as the publisher of EverQuest, one of the first successful MMORPGs, will now be known as the Daybreak Game Company, and will go forward as an independent game studi
February's Free PlayStation Plus Games Cover All the Bases
With a new month comes a new round of games for Sony’s Instant Game Collection, the free game service for PlayStation Plus subscribers. While January’s offerings were dominated by big-name downloadable titles, February’s free game selection is a little more diverse, with a handful
