Barring some of the problems suffering at launch, Battlefield 4 is a truly great FPS that somehow finds a way to pack an amazing amount of content into a one-time purchase.  The concept of serialized game development isn’t really anything particularly new to the hardcore gaming crowd (as a concept) though, many other franchises have benefited from meticulously developing their formulas over lengthier stretches of time.  For instance, they might seek to improve on signature gameplay elements, the engine, visuals, or all of the above.  At any rate, EA Digital Illusions CE has certainly learned their lessons, which is clearly…

If you’ve previously played (or rather, experienced) Thatgamestudio’s popular title “Flower”, then you really owe it to yourself to give their title, “flOw” a spin.  For those that are unaware, Flower was actually considered by its developers to be something of a “spiritual successor“ to this game, which is quite a notable distinction.  The truth is, flOw is a game that provides players with yet another very open, more or less enigmatic experience to behold. The essence of the game is relatively simple – you assume the role of various forms of seemingly aquatic life, each of which consumes other…

First off, if you’ve never played an Angry Birds game before, you should start with this one.  Utilizing themes / settings ripped straight out of the original star wars series (pretty much comprising Episode IV: A New Hope and Ep. V: The Empire Strikes Back), this unique mini-game-turned-fully-fledged-strategy title is infinitely enjoyable.  In essence you assume control over a squadron of somewhat flightless fowls which you hurl into enemy fortifications via a large slingshot.  In each stage the goal remains the same – to eliminate rival targets, of course.  However, as you advance from the start to finish of each…

If you’re ready for some DLC for Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag, then you’ll be pleased to learn that today Ubisoft announced Freedom Cry, the first DLC for Assasin’s Creed IV Black Flag, would be available on December 18th via PSN for PS4 and PS3. See the Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag Freedom Cry screenshots.

Inspired 2D platformers which take advantage of stunning 3D backdrops seem to be rather popular these days, especially when they’re extremely dynamic.  With “Trine 2: Complete Story” we have a game that’s at once fun and exhilarating as well as rooted in puzzle-solving mechanics.  Developer Frozenbyte has probably had more success with their Trine series than any of their other projects to date, and this “Complete Story” edition of T2 is perhaps among their best offerings.  This particular version includes all the extra content, including the Goblin Menace expansion as well as exclusive Dwarven Caverns level (included in the Director’s…

With another holiday season rolling around, it’s time to dust off the old search engine and start looking for interesting PlayStation goodies to stock up on.  This year of course, the hottest item around is the PlayStation 4 console, which many readers might already own at this point.  Of course if you’ve yet to claim your own you might not need to worry – according to industry sources there won’t be any shortages, although there are currently shortages, so there’s probably no need to take drastic action to locate a PS4 prior to Christmas Eve. Naturally, when selecting a new…

If you’re ready for something completely different, “Flower” is the game for you.  Of course (and perhaps even more amazingly), this newer version of the game (for the PS4) is in fact a refinement of the original which was created for the PS3.  Note* – not to worry though, if you already purchased it for your PS3, you can upgrade to a PS4 version for free via PSN.  Anyway, the game – in short, if you’ve ever stared at a lush green field and wondered, while daydreaming, what it might be like to assume the form of a wisp of…

Sony has announced on their Twitter page that a new update will be coming to PS4 soon. The main updates include better software capability. You can see the post below: PS4 system update 1.52 coming soon, improves system software stability. Protip: Enable Auto Downloads and leave your PS4 in standby mode! — PlayStation (@PlayStation) December 11, 2013

Say what you will about “Contrast”, but it’s certainly one of the more interesting and inspired games available on the PS4.  The fact that it’s also been offered as a free-to-play title is also certainly a nice gesture to Sony fans.  As far as the game itself is concerned, you assume control of Dawn, who is the imaginary friend of a young girl named Didi.  However, what makes this game so unique is that (as Dawn) you can easily jump between a fully-realized 3D world and a 2D one that’s based around shadows.  While this might not sound like an…

“Knack” is a rather charming platformer which is delightful in its story, visuals and its rather straightforward gameplay.  Visually speaking, the game is enchanting – pulling you inside its colorful environments and coaxing you with its detail and level design.  At first glance most people assume it’s a rather simplistic children’s title that can be easily surmounted in an afternoon by a rank amateur gamer.  Needles to say, that’s not the case at all.  Some people appear to be experiencing problems with the game’s overall level of difficulty, and this might even include some rather experienced gamers.  Not to worry…

The ability to utilize a controller from a major console on a PC is something that many of the more astute gamers have long been interested in. Of course Xbox 360 owners with their USB wired controllers have things the easiest, and PS3 holders having to connect via Bluetooth falling behind directly them in terms of ease of connectivity. However, with the release of the PS4, it’s been promised that connecting the DualShock 4 to a PC has never been simpler or more direct. Well, we don’t want to step on their toes, but it’s not necessarily as simple as…

With its inspired, politically complex story, amazing graphics and new direction, “Killzone: Shadow Fall” has essentially arisen from the ashes of its last major outing and taking a bold new direction.  Not to worry though, everything still falls within the familiar boundaries of various first-person shooter tropes, but now we’re being treated to new features and what is perhaps an even more stunning setting. As far as the single player story is concerned, it’s one of poignancy and intrigue.  Quite simply, Helgast survivors are given the go ahead to colonize half of the planet Vekta, much to the chagrin of…

To put it bluntly, “Knack” is receiving quite a lot of criticism with regards to its gameplay and overall art style.   For all intents and purposes it would seem that many people have built this title up in their minds as something that will completely revolutionize the gaming world, only to be left disappointed when they actually came face to face with it.   Needless to say, Knack is something of a throwback platformer – the sort of game that really isn’t meant to challenge your hand-eye coordination or puzzle-solving abilities.   In all honesty it would seem as though this title…

Developer Housemarque is known in the industry for their cool side-scrolling games, the “Super Stardust” series being among their previous efforts.  With “Resogun” however, they’ve really outdone themselves it would seem.  Moreover, if you’re a PlayStation Plus member (and you probably are, right?) the game is offered as a free download. As far as its story is concerned, Resogun doesn’t really offer much if you’re after intellectual exhibition.  No, the focus of this game is its action, which is relatively straight-forward, yet extremely satisfying nonetheless.  You start off by choosing between one of three different ships and then immediately spring…

Not one to disappoint, Sony has already taken to offering PS4 owners some free goodies, like Digital Extremes’ third-person shooter, “Warframe”.  In short, this free-to-play title is a blast.  While it might not possess some of the expected refinements that you’d find in a multi-million game development project being run by a top-tier studio, it’s still quite good.  Even if you’re not really drawn into Warframe’s story, you have to admit that the team who put this game together certainly deserves some major recognition for their efforts. The game itself is centered mostly around co-op play, where 4 players (online)…
