DayZ is one of the biggest success stories in gaming. What started out as a humble Arma 2 mod became one of the world’s most popular zombie survival sandbox experiences, going on to influence a huge amount of other games and taking its rightful place as zombie gaming royalty.  You can pick up DayZ on PS4 right now if you’re…

Sometimes, it feels like the media can’t make its mind up whether gaming is for children or not. Many people unfairly dismiss the hobby as infantile (although the number of people doing so is dropping significantly as gaming becomes more mainstream), but occasionally, an overly violent or disturbing game will catch the attention of moral guardians who claim the game…

2023 is shaping up to be a great year for sports games. Since many of the most famous and beloved sporting franchises in gaming release yearly, you can, of course, look forward to the 2023 iterations of games like FIFA, Madden NFL, and NBA, but there are plenty of other surprises on the horizon as well, including some indie hopefuls…

We’re well into 2023 now, and Sony is showing no signs of discontinuing its phenomenally popular PS4. It’s much, much easier to get hold of a PS5 now, but many gamers are still clinging to their PS4 or PS4 Pro consoles, unwilling to make the jump to the current generation. That’s understandable; while the PS5 has a great library, the…

A lot of the most interesting and exciting things going on in the gaming industry tend to happen in independent circles. Progressive game concepts tend to be the premise of smaller studios with less to lose; while bigger studios spin their wheels in pursuit of proven strategies, indie studios are often trailblazers (not always, but more frequently).  As you can…

How well would you say you know the world we live in? Could you step up to the plate on a quiz show and confidently answer whatever questions were thrown at you? It’s a difficult skill to acquire; most of us have gaps in our knowledge, after all, and nobody can be expected to learn everything. With that said, trivia…

Ah, the Old West. While many of the tropes surrounding the Wild West are heavily romanticised, there’s still something undeniably attractive about the fantasy of the cowboy, the duster coat-wearing revolver-toting lone wolf who wanders the frontier and aids those in need. There are plenty of great PS4 games that cater to this fantasy, too; whether you want sandbox games…

Is there any fantasy more compelling than jumping into a giant robot and causing havoc? Properties like Transformers and Gundam prove that there’s just something undeniably awesome about giant mechs, and movies like Pacific Rim manage to inject some heart into the classic mecha tropes as well. If you’re looking to live out the mecha fantasy on PS4, you’ll be…

Have you ever heard of Quadrapong? It was one of the first ever 4-player games produced, and was, as you can probably imagine from the name, a version of the classic game Pong that supported 4 players. Now, of course, we have many games available that offer multiplayer modes for you and your friends to enjoy, but it could be…

Gaming is accelerating as an art form. Games like Undertale are showing that emotionally affecting stories can be told directly through gameplay, while AAA monsters like God of War Ragnarok use their incredible production values to arguably match the quality of Hollywood cinematic narrative.  Even still, sometimes you just want to gather a few friends and have some fun with…

There’s a famous quote that goes thus: “rugby is a game for hooligans played by gentlemen, and football is a game for gentlemen played by hooligans”. It’s often attributed to Oscar Wilde, but many quotes are, so it’s difficult to know whether he actually said it. There’s a grain of truth in the quote, though; rugby is often seen as…

If you’re a cricket fan, you’ve probably had relatives or friends tell you they don’t understand the appeal of the sport. “Isn’t it slow and boring?” they’ll ask you, and time and time again, you’ll sigh patiently as you explain that cricket is actually a deeply strategic and compelling game if you put in the work to understand and appreciate…

Once upon a time, the gaming landscape was absolutely chock-full of great boxing games to play. During the PS2 era, franchises like Fight Night and Ready 2 Rumble gave boxing fans lots of options when it came to their boxing game experiences; whether you wanted something more realistic or you were more on the arcade side of things, you’d find…

The PS4 continues to be an excellent place to find all the latest and greatest games. While it’s true that an increasing number of titles are PS5-only, that isn’t the case for many indie games or third-party offerings, so if you’re still rocking a PS4 even after two years of the PS5 being on release, more power to you. February…

Ah, the mighty dinosaur. Our giant lizard ancestors have inspired so many delightful media franchises, not least among them Jurassic Park, arguably Godzilla, and many, many others. Dinosaurs are also the stars of some of our most beloved and celebrated video games, and it’s easy to see why.  Getting to roam the land while dinosaurs stomp around is a fantasy…

Greetings, human, and welcome to the post-apocalyptic robot future. You want to know what happened to get us here? Humour circuits activated. Ha ha ha. I cannot believe you are unfamiliar with the history of our robot-ruled world. What is that you are saying with your human voice box? Do we at least still have the PS4 in this future?…

There are very few experiences that help couples to bond more effectively than gaming. Whether your partner is already an avid gamer or they’ve never held a controller in their life, gaming can be a great way to bridge the divide and cooperate on something that you can both truly enjoy (or, indeed, compete with one another in a healthy…

One of the most common problems that can affect the PS4 is overheating. The console has good circulation and heat sink technology, especially if you’re using the PS4 Pro or the newer Slim model, but they can still be prone to getting too hot, and this could cause serious damage to your components. If you’ve ever heard your PS4’s fans…

If you’re a horror gaming aficionado, then there’s a good chance you’ve heard of the horror game Poppy’s Playtime. It’s proven to be a genuine phenomenon, with streamers everywhere relishing the chance to stream it to their followers and show just how terrifying it can be. While the game certainly has its faults, with users pointing to bugs and gameplay…

The PS4 may be getting on a little in years, but it can still offer a great gaming experience. While availability for the PS5 is certainly improving, it’s still fairly difficult to get a new console right now, so if you’re falling back on your trusty PS4 to provide all of your gaming entertainment, rest assured that you’re far from…

Let it never be said that the PS4 is down and out. While Sony’s console may have been supplanted in technical terms by the PS5, that doesn’t mean PS4 owners are being left in the lurch. Plenty of great games are still coming out for what should now technically be known as “last-gen” consoles, with many modern games (including God…

The eerie and spooky times may be over for 2022, but it doesn’t hurt to look back at what happened in FFXIV’s All Saints’ Wake. Halloween is officially over, but that doesn’t mean we can’t look back at the spooky events in the gaming realm. For online games, celebrations for worldwide happenings such as Valentine’s Day, Christmas, and the like…

Form the best team in football by knowing the best FIFA 23 players in the game!  The release of the latest installation of the famous football simulation game is said to be the final collaboration between Electronic Arts and FIFA. Since it is clear what this would entail for future titles, gamers are trying to make the most out of…

One of the many benefits of gaming is that it can offer the chance to experience things you’d never get to do as part of your normal life. How many of us can say that we’ve been behind the controls of an aircraft, for example? Most gamers won’t ever get to fly an aeroplane or a helicopter into a dangerous…

Ever since the mid-80s, when skateboarding video games came to prominence, the genre has been incredibly popular. From the halcyon days of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater all the way to modern gaming, skateboarding has been a mainstay of the gaming landscape, and there have been great skateboarding games to play on every single platform. While that’s true of the PS4…

Gaming can be a great communal experience, but sometimes, there’s no substitute for firing up a single-player game and playing through a great story. There are plenty of excellent multiplayer games on PS4, but the console has no shortage of single-player experiences to play through either, so whether you’re into sci-fi, horror, or fantasy, you’ll find something to love. Here…

What exactly is a “sandbox game”? Some would define it simply as an open-world game in which you can go where you like and do as you please. Others would say a sandbox game has to be one where you can exercise creativity in some way, whether that be building things or messing with a physics engine. Either way, the…

The DualShock 4 controller is one of the PS4’s undeniable highlights. It’s an incredibly ergonomic and easy-to-use peripheral that always feels right in your hands, no matter what the shape or size of those hands might be. While we love the PS5’s DualSense controller and the additional features it has, we’ll always have a soft spot in our hearts for…

The PlayStation 4 was launched on November 15th, 2013. It has been roughly 9 years since that date, and the odds are that early adopters have had to do some minor maintenance on their Sony console or peripherals at some point.  For the PS4 controller, if you should have to take it apart, you should know that it is a…

Whether it’s games inspired by anime or games directly adapted from great anime shows, the PS4 has more than its fair share of excellent anime titles to check out. Fighting games, open-world RPGs, Soulslikes, and more can all be found on Sony’s console, so no matter what kind of genre you’re into, you’ll find something anime-related to love on your…
