If you are tempted to use the web browser that comes with your PS4, and I do realise that many of you probably are not, then perhaps one of the first things to note about it is that it does not support the Flash plug-in. This inevitably means that some websites which require Flash might not display properly or function…

If, like me, you felt the urge to look up what the initials PES actually stood for before reading any further, then I’ll quickly put you out of your misery – it’s Pro Evolution Soccer. I know you knew that, I just had to explain, just in case. ‘Realistic’, ‘atmosphere’, and ‘overall feel’ are all words which I’ve seen used…

For some, the combination of zombies and Vikings in one game will be sufficient proof of the high quality of a game. For others, the fact that the makers were also responsible for the surprise hit of last year ‘Stick It To The Man’ will be enough to sway them to the Nordic adventure. For those more discerning amongst you,…

Ah, the Open, don’t ya just love it? I don’t, but my dad does so that surely qualifies me to write this little piece. EA Sports (it’s in the game…) love it so much they’ve timed the release of their new game in time for its opening, pardon the pun. Oh, and what’s the new game all about? Well, golf…

Fancy donning the yellow jersey without the hassle of cycling 3360 ever so slightly arduous kilometres? Then perhaps playing the PS4 version of Le Tour De France 2015 may just be for you. Although it will probably involve less sweat and saddle-related problems (that is, a sore bum), it will not necessarily take you any less time. This is a…

For the first time in the history of the hugely successful Elder Scrolls franchise, the action has moved from PC and Mac to consoles and it also goes online. The story is set around 1000 years ago, before the events of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and prior to the rise of Tiber Septim, the first Emperor of Tamriel. It…

Jurassic Park seems to be everywhere at the moment, except of course this incarnation is known as Jurassic World, so perhaps I’m showing my age when I refer to Jurassic Park. Not that you’ll be interested, but I watched it on a family holiday to Florida in 1993 at the age of 13, and those velociraptors scared me shitless. So,…

If the 500GB internal hard drive space simply isn’t enough for your needs, and let’s face it, with some games weighing in at around 40GB each, who isn’t, then how do you go about improving on this? It need neither be expensive or complicated, you’ll be glad to hear – read on. Prior to starting, decide which HDD you are…

The astute amongst you will notice that this is the 3rd game in this franchise. So, where does it pitch up, and how does it compare? Well, it was released in the middle of last month, and it has seemingly topped software sales for May (according to the NPD Group). It’s clearly been hotly anticipated and initial impressions are good.…

Now I could just start and end this article by saying, keep it away from naughty websites. Some of us would chuckle, some of us would groan and we could all get on with our days. It wouldn’t be terribly helpful, though, would it? So, if you decide that it’s important to you to keep ickle particles of dust off…

There are simulator games for just about every imaginable scenario, the most likely to spring mind being taking control of an aeroplane in a flight simulator, or taking the wheel of a racing car. This new game, however, has a slightly different focus, and involves plenty of (simulated) fresh air and, if you fancy it, corn-chewing. Released on 19 May…

Gaming in July? With all that beautiful sunshine to enjoy? Shame on you! Although, having said that, whether or not the beautiful sun will appear does depend a lot on where in the world you live. Okay, enough, let’s just assume that you all live in Basingstoke, and will need to know which games are going to be released in…

Only having been released in the past few days (12 May 2015), Lost Orbit is sparklingly new and shiny, and comes from Canadian developers PixelNAUTS.  The game requires you to take on Harrison, a lowly maintenance worker who becomes stranded in space after his spacecraft is destroyed – he was ‘lucky’ enough to have been spacewalking outside of the craft…

PS4 trophies aren’t always easy to achieve, especially those of which are ultra-rare. What exactly are they? Essentially they’re in-game goals which somehow give you an added incentive to keep playing. There are 4 different ranks of Trophy: bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. If you successfully achieve all bronze, silver and gold Trophies, well first of all well done, but…

It’s only just been released, but if you’re raring to make progress and can’t wait to get into fifth gear, then here are some tips and tricks to help you reach pole position in Project CARS for PS4. I’m sorry, those puns were terrible, but I’m keeping them in, so there. If you want the tips, put up with the…

The Wolfenstein action-adventure shooter games are set in World War II, and were originally developed by Muse Software (the last two releases came from MachineGames). The latest in the series, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, was released at the beginning of this month, and is played from a first-person perspective. It’s set in 1946 and follows war veteran William BJ Blazkowicz…

Mortal Kombat X is the tenth in the long-running series, which began the same year the Conservatives last won an outright majority… 1992, for those who have been avidly avoiding any news stories containing the words politics, Nicola or opinion poll. It is perhaps hard to imagine now the outcry which greeted the release of the first in the series…

Graphics, design, technology, platforms and consoles all change – but the desire for gaming never fades, and similarly the interest in new releases continues unabated. There are many reasons as to why the PS4 is branded as the best console, however, one main reason is the vast amount of quality exclusives. Let’s look ahead to some of the exclusive PS4…

Be afraid, be very afraid – or not? Looking ahead to some upcoming releases in the horror genre for PS4, which ones will have you quaking with horrific glee and which will leave you bone-chillingly cold?
