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…

Graphics and gaming capabilities are significantly improved, with the result that games are bigger and more beautiful than ever before, and that’s not even touching on all of the capabilities of the PS4 beyond gaming. But for old-school gamers, there’s one drawback of the constant advancement and improvement of console play: the risk that arcade-style games will fall by the wayside. This isn’t to say that there aren’t popular arcade-style games on major consoles. Arcade classics like “Street Fighter” and “Mortal Kombat” have released…

Charm, style, and a winning gameplay formula – that’s essentially what makes Klei Entertainment’s “Don’t Starve” an absolutely smashing game.  Melding survival horror aspects with an open world platform, this game pull you in with its overhead perspective 3rd person design.  People who enjoy titles like Minecraft will likely find this game to be highly entertaining as a lot what you’re doing is essentially the same – foraging for things to help protect you from the forces of darkness (you know the drill).  However, as the title suggests, the point here isn’t to build up elaborate fortresses or castles, but…

Moreover, since this is a (partially) free-to-play game via the PSN, PS4 owners can bask in the glory of this title’s incredible gameplay without spending anything.  Forgoing any additional expenditures…

As an annualized event, Las Vegas’ Consumer Electronics Show event routinely helps to introduce a cavalcade of contraptions from many of the world’s top companies.  This year, Sony and the PS4 had some serious competition to contend with, namely from Valve’s upcoming “Steam Machine” (a streaming console which connects directly with the online “Steam” service).  Moreover, there was no push back from Microsoft (via the Xbox ONE) as they decided to opt out of this year’s CES event. For all intents and purposes, the main focus of Sony’s efforts was on the emergence of the all-new “PlayStation Now” service.  This…

Recently, some rumors have surfaced which claim, or indicate that the next Getaway game (part III) will indeed be on the PlayStation 4.  Initially, it was said that the third installment would be making its way to the PS3, until it was put on hold indefinitely.  You can either see this as a good or bad thing (i.e. – if developer SCE London Studio actually takes the time to do it right, it could be absolutely brilliant).  Whether or not there’s any validity to these assertions, you have to admit – it would be sort of nice to see a…
