There are a lot of different headsets out there, but not as many as you’d think which are compatible (straight out of the box) with current generation consoles (in term of design). Yes, clearly engineers at Sony and Microsoft have made their machines much more universal, utilizing more standardized PC components, for instance, but you don’t want to just plug any old piece of hardware in now do you? The HC4 amplified stereo headset made by Gioteck is a great example of an aftermarket product which responds like an OEM offering would.   Not only that but it remains fully-featured, easy…

If you have any basic understanding of how commerce and business functions in modern society and have (at least) a passing interest in video games then when we say “18.5 Million PS4s Sold” you should be amazed. Basically, this recent console venture made by Sony has completely exceeded their wildest dreams and has turned into an unmitigated, unrivaled success story. The question of course is – what does this really say about the PlayStation 4 though? From an outward perspective it would be all too easy to simply say that video game consoles are a novelty, something that is only…

We’ve pretty much heard it all at this point… In the ongoing console war, every week we have pundits, analysts, critics and gamers alike attempting to crown a new winner, with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One at the center of this struggle. However, if you really peer past all the hype and hoopla, taking a close look at the actual sales figures and cross-reference that with other news about releases and ongoing developments, a clear trend emerges which puts Sony’s console out ahead of the rest. Now, let’s get one thing straight here – this isn’t an attempt to…

If there’s one thing that has been shown to significantly boost both user loyalty and sales for any specific console it is EXCLUSIVES. Naturally, Sony is no stranger to focusing on select special titles that can’t be found on other platforms either, which is yet another reason why 2015 is shaping up to be a landmark year. The following games should be enough to get your juices flowing and here they are, presented in chronological order of anticipated release… Bloodborne Bloodborne is a new IP that’s being developed by From Software (the minds behind the runaway hits Dark Souls I…

Grand Theft Auto V was and is a major achievement in gaming. Aside from the technical know-how, art / design, and expertise that it took to produce this behemoth title, a lot of other factors have all been lined up to ensure that it was as hugely successful as it was. Of course, with any game of its size, where there’s a clear story with side missions, you’ll eventually kind of run out of conventional things to do. In short, this article is for those players who have pretty much conquered most aspects of the game already and are looking…

Lots of Sony and Microsoft gamers were treated to an incredibly disrespectful and misguided “hack” recently which left them unable to connect to their favorite streaming services. To make matters worse, this took place on Christmas day no less, meaning that untold numbers of people, many of whom probably just unwrapped their new console, were left digitally stranded. Now, as the pain stretches into the second day, we find a hacking collective known as “Lizard Squad” taking credit for the attack. For those who aren’t readily aware of what all of this means, you really only need to know that…

It basically cleaned house in 2014 and many industry analysts and devout gamers see more of the same in store for 2015. Yes, Sony’s PlayStation 4 is certainly an obvious winner in the ongoing “console wars”, but all signs point toward this upcoming year as being an even better one for the company and brand. In light of this, we thought it only prudent to provide you with some specific reasons why the PS4 will indeed dominate in 2015, here they are… Momentum There’s no denying that the PS4 has done quite well for itself since its release. Selling millions…

Any endeavor, regardless of how successful or popular it is, will still have its faults….it’s “weak spots”, if you will. Even the mighty PlayStation 4, which has given us so much in a relatively short space of time where gaming is concerned, has generated its fair share of disappointments. The point of this article isn’t to dwell on these letdowns or shame their developers into stepping up their game (pun intended), but to perhaps help consumers who are budget conscious to make more informed decisions. Also, perhaps this will provide a bit of a release for those who have had…

With Christmas incoming fast, it’s time to turn your GTA V experience into a Christmas themed one. Rockstar have plenty of awesome new additions with their new DLC.

For the most part, Dragon Age: Inquisition is yet another romping good BioWare offering that features the same sort of iconic RPG action we all already adore. Yes, the good folks who brought us the revolutionary Mass Effect series have this new installation from their “other” successful franchise to be proud of, well, for a number of reasons. First of all, it continues the epic feel established by its predecessors, adding new gameplay features in a collective fashion. Of course there’s also been an attempt to add new, more “open” elements as well, which greatly increases the overall scope of…

Whether or not you’re a fan of the James Bond franchise (and let’s admit it, since you’re reading this you probably are) you cannot deny that the series’ gaming franchise really needs a bit of a boost. Believe it or not, various developers have been making 007 video games since the early 1980’s, of course the first real “hit” wasn’t scored until Rare released “Goldeneye: 007” for the Nintendo 64, but that’s another story altogether. With 23 James Bond 007 movie releases, the James Bond movies series has offered action packed movie entertainment since 1953.  GoldenEye 007 was arguably the…

Just a few years ago the notion of Sony releasing another console that might become popular enough to overtake the fabled PS2 seemed like just another pipe dream, little more than wishful thinking. After all, we’re talking about a true phenomenon here and no one can really pinpoint the why or how of video gaming success. If it were that easy to roll out a new winning console then every sizable company out there with any technological know-how would be doing it and making money hand over fist. Of course, actually creating a console that ignites the imagination of the…

XBOX One users were able to access this for sometime, however, Sky customers can now stream live TV and video on demand directly through their PS4 console. The app allows customers to stream all Sky channels that are included within their package, including the likes of Sky Movies and Sky Sports. You can get the Sky app at the PlayStation Store – it’s approx. 60MB in size. However, you’ll require a Sky Go Extra subscription or Sky Multiscreen subscription. If you don’t have either then you’ll need to subscribe which will cost you an additional £5 per month. This long…

For a long time the major game console manufacturers have tried to move into other markets. Perhaps the “holy grail” as it were is the ability to completely cover base television and streaming services, all in one package.   While there are still some doubts as to whether or not Sony’s PlayStation TV will be able to ultimately fulfill this role, it certainly has all the required pieces needed to do so. It’s basically a PS Vita, stripped down to the bare essentials and repackaged as sleeker unit that’s meant to rest near your television. You might call it a “streaming…

What started off as a seemingly endless barrage of Lego-themed titles has now blossomed into an institution of sorts. We’re now on the third Batman iteration, which as you would expect, improves on all the little mechanics which make the games so much fun to play. Naturally, the fun and lovable style, art and visuals remain as great as ever, even looking better due to the fact that it’s on advancing consoles like the PS4. This isn’t just devoted to Batman though, there’s a generous helping of other comic book characters to keep you company as well. Yes, you can…

If you were to rewind a few years, many people in the UK wouldn’t have even knew what ‘Black Friday’ actually was. In 2013, a number of stores decided to take part in the event, due to its success, this year has seen the majority of high-street retailers use ‘Black Friday’ as a marketing tool to get people rushing to the stores. Black Friday originally started as a US tradition, the day following Thanks Giving; generally branded as the start of the Christmas shopping season. It has recently caught on in a number of countries, probably thanks to the recession…

If you’re really in the market for a new video game console this Christmas, why not make it a PlayStation 4? After all, we are talking about what is now the most popular system out there, with over 10 million units sold in a really short amount of time. In fact, Sony’s PS4 sales have effectively doubled that of Microsoft’s Xbox One (which is also a great machine in its own right) – many gamers are opting for the PS4 vs. the XBOX One for a variety of reasons. The bottom line is that you KNOW it has to be…

In this day and age, when the average gamer is getting older and older, one has to carefully choose which games to buy for their kids. Let’s face it, you can’t really afford to just purchase a console for them and hope that they make the best decisions. No, to really do the right thing you need to do some research. In all likelihood, that’s probably exactly what brought you here in the first place. So, without further ado, we present the best PS4 games (circa 2014) for younger (or sensitive) children … Knack “Knack” caught a lot of flak…

If it’s been a while since you’ve loaded up a good racing game, buckle your seat belt and get ready to blast off in a whole new direction because we’re about to take a look at the best titles in the genre, for the PlayStation 4 that is. Whilst the PS4 is yet to find its Forza, and many would argue that it was a lacklustre year for PS4 racing games, there’s some big ones coming in the not so distant future – Grand Turismo 7 to name one. Let think that this year was a little taster of much…

You know what they say, “you can never have too much of a good thing” and certainly this sentiment rings truer than ever if we’re talking about the Grand Theft Auto V. Leading up to its initial release there was definitely an air of excitement abounding, people weren’t sure what to expect. The pessimists were quick to jump on board the “it’ll pale in comparison to the mighty GTA IV” boat while the optimists were ready to go full-on “kool-aid swilling cult member” in their intense support of the title. The point is – expectations were running high and Rockstar…

Some games benefit from having a close association with more visible entertainment franchises. In the case of the Walking Dead video game series though, there is definitely a special connection, partly because of the way it formulizes a connection with various characters, carrying them over a series of terrains and situations.   However, perhaps the most striking thing about this seasonal, installment-based video game cycle is that it simultaneously introduces a very slick type of gameplay in the midst of a horror premise that feel extremely visceral. The way the action is delivered is part graphic novel, part quicktime event sequence…
