While the PS4’s library is still quite sparse as of right now (Feb. 2014) some might want to consider tapping into what the PSN’s gaming selection has to offer in the mean time, of course.  The great news of course is that the Sony PlayStation brand has a very rich and varied back-catalog of games which is definitely worth exploring, especially if you’ve missed certain titles or are new to gaming in general. Looking at what’s currently available on the PSN the immediate answer might be to simply make all previous titles available on the PS4, of course this might…

These days anything brandishing the LEGO namesake is extremely popular. For example, fairly recently, the LEGO movie took the mythos surrounding the building block-based alternate reality and intermingled it with a nicely plotted out hero story.  In short, the events of that movie are more or less played out in sequence inside the LEGO Movie videogame which bears its namesake.  Some might feel as though it’s a warranted title, something which extends the universe of the film, however, others might see it as a missed opportunity or as one big long rehash.  At any rate, be sure that you don’t…

For a lot of gamers, role-playing games are where it’s at.  Given the PS4’s dominance in our era, it’s only natural for the world’s best game developers to gravitate toward it.  Companies like Bethesda and Bungie, for instance are launching new RPG’s this year in addition to many others, including some newcomers.  However, the genre itself of course is largely split into three main categories: Traditional, MMO, and Action / Adventure.  In this article we’re going to take a look at a few of them right now… Final Fantasy XV Certainly the Final Fantasy franchise needs no introduction, especially to…

A lot of the more seasoned gamers (and perhaps newbies as well) will certainly remember how much fun the TimeSplitters series was.  The same people behind such iconic first-person shooters as the Nintendo 64’s “Goldeneye” and “Perfect Dark” also created it, after all.  For many, they really pushed their winning formula even further, reaching a sweet spot where the action and content propelled things to an entirely new level.  For instance, the sheer number of challenges and additional activities (outside of the main story) found in TimeSplitters 2 was reason enough to keep on exploring what the game had to…

The infamous Call of Duty franchise has become nothing short of a video game institution, essentially crafting its own niche within the video game world.  Prior to the emergence of the series (and its subsequent refinement via the “Modern Warfare” and “Black Ops” installments) first-person shooters simply didn’t have the drive, spark or features required to propel them to new heights of mass appeal.  One could say that the Call of Duty phenomenon has actually forever altered the video game marketing landscape (for better or worse, depending on your perspective, we assume a positive view, obviously). Given the fact that…

Hold on to your sword, shield, bow, club, axe or wizard staff…The Elder Scrolls Online is nearly here and it looks amazing.  Breaking from their open world, single player format and substituting the concept of MMO integration, legendary game developer Bethesda Studios is bringing the next installment of the Elder Scrolls series to us in April and June (2014, PC and Next-gen consoles, respectively).  Simply put, The Elder Scrolls Online is pretty much the game that fans have been lusting after for years – think of it as a merger between Skyrim and World of Warcraft, an MMORPG that will…

Hands down, Grand Theft Auto V has (and continues to be) an overwhelming success for developer, Rockstar Studios, which of course means that a follow-up title is pretty much a given.  Gamers simply cannot get enough of the open world, vehicle-centric gameplay which (now) incorporates everything from zaniness and drama to lonely treks across beautiful terrains and multiplayer madness.  Naturally, when it was announced that GTA V wouldn’t be coming to either the PS4 or Xbox ONE the entire video gaming community let out a collective sigh of sorrow.  Of course now there’s rumors and talk of overturning that decision…

We serious, hard-core gamers like our sound to be loud, dynamic and absolutely clear.  Of course, at the same time, very few of us have the cash to go out and drop down on a fancy new surround sound system, so we often make a sacrifice and opt to buy nice headphones instead.  Naturally, headphones have one large benefit over almost any other option available – they don’t disturb others, which (believe it or not) is a feature that can actually save relationships.  Among most of the newer models out there which have been created for gamers, Sony’s new Official…

There’s nothing more annoying to a gamer than popping a disk in your console only to discover that there’s some reading error preventing it from loading or installing.  Well, there is something that’s actually worse than that, of course – a scratched disk.  If your PS4 is randomly freezing and switching itself off when playing a particular game, the chances are you simply need to clean the disc. In either scenario the faulty variable is dirty media, which when taken to the extreme results in physical damage thus rendering it unusable.  With the costs of games riding high and the…

The Lara Croft / Tomb Raider mythos is certainly deep, engaging and fascinating.   If you were to mix together Indiana Jones, an attractive model, and perhaps the power exhibited by a Marvel superhero, well, you’d be approaching Lara’s brilliance.  The point is, this woman’s not just an heiress turned successful archeologist – she’s like a force of nature which swoops in to clean up history’s curses and supernatural mistakes.  With the latest entry in the series, the entire franchise is given a much-needed reboot, this time incorporating an ultra-gritty feel.  This epic Tomb Raider title will place you directly in…
