You really have to hand it to Sony – they know what the fans want and they give it to them. Rather than trying to play the role of an evil “Bond Villain” who toys with the desires and emotions of their constituency, Sony adopts a plan which allows them to effectively undercut the competition. Moreover, they’ve done this while not sacrificing anything in terms of performance or features. Say what you want, but the PS4’s recent sales figures suggest poetic justice. So, the question is, what is it about the PS4 (specifically) that’s made it into the darling of…

Let’s face it – in the world of consumer electronics, where there are two or more competing entities, the one who pulls out on top usually dominates (for the length of that particular “generation”). Looking at the video game console market, this appears to be patently obvious, with one specific company like Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo more or less capturing the hearts and minds of gamers over the others. This isn’t to say that each organization doesn’t have its own staunch following, or even that they’re still not selling millions of units, only that at the end of the day…

For die-hard sports gamers, particularly those with a love for football (or “Soccer”), this latest FIFA release is nothing short of spectacular, especially if you own a next generation console. Yes, while the PS3 / Xbox 360 versions are certainly nothing to scoff at, it is the Xbox ONE and PlayStation 4 editions which offer the most tantalizing experience. This is of course due to the fact that the more up-to-date adaptation actually features an entirely new engine (it’s called “Ignite”, btw). So, just how good is it then, you’re probably wondering? In short, it’s bloody fantastic! Of course before…
Once upon a time, video games based on (American) football were incredibly popular. Sports games were resigned to a rather limited set of genres and you could count on the fact that there would be at least one NFL-flavored game out there among packs of new releases. Of the many franchises which have brought gamers the sort of football action they crave, the Madden series is perhaps the most widely known and respected. Needless to say, Madden NFL 25 is certainly good enough to win the admiration of gamers – perhaps even those who don’t even care for football, per…
Sony fans generally aren’t surprised when it comes to being granted access to some new technology or service. After all, we are talking about an empire here which has built its house upon the steppes of incremental progress – with each new console (and game in a series) offering some sort of improvement in terms of capabilities, etc… Well, we might be on the cusp of a truly brave new world here with the recently announced “PlayStation Now” service. It would seem that even Sony fans will soon be shocked to find many of their favorite PS3 titles available for…

Since the very earliest home console video game systems were brought to market, it’s been the dream of manufacturers and consumers alike to tap into the possibilities which virtual reality might bring. Of course, we’ve had to wait a while for the graphics technology to catch up with our imaginations so that we actually have something to work with, but it would seem that truly immersive gaming is just around the corner. The top contender in this area is the Oculus Rift, a project which was largely started via Kickstarter but has since grown into something much larger and more…

With 2013 now in the rear view mirror and 2014 directly in front of us, we thought it only sensible to look back at some of Sony’s biggest hits and misses. For all intents and purposes, 2013 was a stellar year for Sony and their gaming operation. Most obviously, we saw the release of the marvelous and somewhat magnanimous PS4, replete with a number of highly exciting titles to delve into. However, everything wasn’t exactly smooth sailing either, but has that ever really been the case? As with any other year in the video game industry, there were setbacks, disappointments…
For whatever reason, it could be said that the essence of most video gaming boils down to placing some type of weapon in the hands of a hero so that they might exact violence and vengeance upon villains. In our current era, that tends to imply utilizing firearms within the context of fantastic environments, a genus which is often referred to as the “shooter” genre. While 2013 saw the PS4 receiving some really good action games utilizing FPS mechanics, it would appear that 2014 is really the year to expect great things. So, what qualifies as a “shooter” game, you…
This year is set to bring both excitement and shock announcements. While it’s most certainly always a good idea to focus on confirmed game releases and informational tidbits, it’s also sometimes fun to engage in speculation. Every year, certain rumors always seem to emerge surrounding certain specific game releases (on whatever console(s) happens to be in production at the time) and currently, the PS4 appears to be one of the main breeding grounds for gaming gossip. Perhaps this is due to the fact that we’ve yet to see any truly revolutionary titles released for it as of yet – you…
As we move in to 2014 it’s important that we reflect on all of last year’s video game news, after all, the best way to see where we’re going is to look at the trail behind us, right? Needless to say, the release of the PS4 is still weighing heavily on a lot of gamers’ minds, with many of them still waiting for some truly groundbreaking titles to be released for the new console. While there are some find games currently available for it, the fact remains that we’ve yet to see one or more “decidedly PlayStation 4” titles hit…

As a new console, the PS4 has already proven itself to be a major force in the world of video gaming courtesy of its fantastic launch line-up. However, as 2014 draws closer an entirely new slew of wonderful titles are slated to hit store shelves, many of them being potential trend-setters. Additionally, some of these upcoming games will actually push the PS4 much harder than anything currently available for it. In other words, you can also expect some of these truly ground-breaking 2014 titles to perhaps even generate a significant industry buzz. Here are some of our top picks… Infamous:…
The concept of the open-world racing title is relatively new, with the Need for Speed franchise being one of the best examples thereof. As with some of the other entries (most notably NfS: Hot Pursuit) the basic dynamic featured here is one where racers are pitted against cops. It’s a formula that works well and offers up distinct advantages (as well as pitfalls) for players on either side of the struggle. Of course what makes the game interesting is its massive map (over 100 miles of roads), upgradeable gadgets, and career progression architecture. In the midst of all this, some…
Developer Fun Bits Interactive has crafted a fun, and dare I say, “oft-humorous” puzzle-based title that’s equally as grisly as it is entertaining. In essence, you play as, or control, two characters throughout – lil and laarg (one being slight, hence “little”, the other more portly, or “large”). The short version of the story is that you are essentially being held captive by some type of evil mastermind; in order to escape (as luck would have it) you must circumvent a series of puzzles, which comprise the various levels, or screens, of the game. Originally released on the Vita, this…
Building upon some rather formulas which were well-explored with olden titles such as Metroid, Dig Dug, as well as many others, “Super Motherload” is both a forward-thinking and somewhat traditional 2D title. Don’t get the wrong idea though, this game is its own beast, as they say, and pretty much stands out as one of the more interesting lower tier PlayStation 4 titles. In essence, you are a miner on Mars, who was sent to the red planet to find valuable treasures and ores. Of course what makes the game work is its mechanics, which provide a uniquely deep level…
