While computer games and games consoles have been around since the 1970s, it was in the 1990s when they really began to take off, and become such a well-established part of both society and the average home. They slowly became more affordable, just as the technology was catching up with the game designers’ ambitions. These two factors were perfectly encapsulated by the original PlayStation console. Released in 1994, the original console from Sony was incredibly popular, being the first computer entertainment platform to sell over 100 million units. It sounds impressive but was nothing compared to the numbers shifted by…
If you’re anything like me, watching live sport, either on television or in person, always makes me want to change into the correct kit, run out onto the field of play, and get stuck in with the action. Then I realize that I am not an internationally capable sportsman and that I don’t think the team, manager, or fans would appreciate me getting involved. That doesn’t leave me with many options. Of course, playing with friends or in a local team is one choice, but unfortunately, both me and the people I know can barely run for five minutes without…
Much is often made of games that feature moral choices and ask you to think about the consequences of your actions. For the most part, these games turn out to be mostly smoke and mirrors; while they offer choices that matter on the surface, those choices are ultimately revealed to be hollow, changing very little about the overall narrative or direction of the game. Disciples: Liberation is a new RPG in the Disciples series that purports to offer serious, weighted moral choices amid a deep turn-based strategy combat system, but can it succeed? Disciples: Liberation tells the story of Avyanna,…
The PS4 has many merits as a console, even if it is losing ground to the next generation PS5. In terms of GPU capacity, it is 50% more powerful than the Xbox One.

The PS4 also offers great gaming exclusives, including smash-hit franchises such as The Last of Us, Uncharted, and Yakuza. One other underrated plus of the PS4 is its capacity for cross-platform play, with the console allowing you to play a variety…

The PS4 has a staggering range of fantastic games, and among these are movie-themed entries. Of course, amazing films don’t necessarily translate to a fun game (yes, Avengers, this is a reference to you). Here are three of the finest movie-themed PS4 games that you should seriously consider checking out. Alien: Isolation There are few monsters from the world of cinema as horrific, iconic, and terrifying as the xenomorphs that debuted in Alien and have since starred in multiple movies (sometimes alongside the Predators and often thwarted by the excellent Ripley). More than a third of a century after their…
Few video game franchises manage to attract as much attention as Grand Theft Auto. During the early days, Rockstar sought out provocative and controversial coverage in the press, operating under the premise of “there’s no such thing as bad press”. Although the first couple of releases for the original PlayStation were considered good games but nothing revolutionary, Rockstar made waves with GTA III in 2001. Since then, every Grand Theft Auto game has enjoyed huge success, though none more so than GTA V. It was originally released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in late 2013, but it was…

There was a time when the humble first-person shooter was so uncommon that gamers called them “Doom clones”. It’s hard to imagine such a world today; the first-person shooter isn’t quite the default mode for a game, but it’s still one of the most popular genres you’ll encounter in the gaming world. If you’ve got a PS4 – or if you’re lucky enough to have a PS5 and can take advantage of backwards compatibility – then you’re in for a treat, because Sony’s ecosystem is the best place to play the greatest FPS games around. Here, in no particular order,…
Throughout the annals of time, there have been video games that have changed the course of the industry forever. Pong and Tetris opened the eyes of developers as to what was possible in this exciting new world, while Mario Kart was a shining example of the demand for – and love of – multiplayer gaming. Resident Evil proved that you could replicate cinema screen scares in gaming, while Metal Gear Solid was an iconic release that redefined first-person shooter titles… for the better. As far as sports games are concerned, designers found it very difficult to reimagine the high-octane world…
The PS4 is, without a doubt, a console which defined a generation of gaming, and it’s not difficult to see why either. Stunning visuals, easy control schemes, and a breadth of gaming titles made the PS4 insanely popular, to the point that it was one of the best selling consoles for quite some time. However, what really made the PS4 stand out from the crowd was the sheer variety of remakes that it churned out. With a powerful system and processing power to spare, many gaming legends were given recreations that they lovingly deserved. These titles inflicted both console and…

Here are the top 10 things you should do with your new console…

The console wars have notoriously been brutal throughout history. Ever since “Genesis does what Nintendon’t”, competing console companies have worked hard to ensure that they’re staying on top of their rivals. Since the sixth generation of console gaming, the two biggest competitors in their field have been Sony and Microsoft; although Nintendo has remained relevant throughout, the Japanese giant isn’t really competing on the same level as the two titans mentioned above. Even though Sony and Microsoft have been competing for many years (despite Microsoft’s recent moves away from direct competition), that same sense of eternal battle doesn’t necessarily apply…

With the online casino industry’s trajectory not seeming as if it will slow down anytime soon, lots of fans and experts have been predicting whether consoles will blink first and capitalise on the genre’s popularity. Two of the sector’s three major developers have done so in Sony and Microsoft, with the latter taking all the plaudits thanks to its cloud-computing app that lets players pick up from where they left off on their mobile devices. However, it appears as if PlayStation is the platform that is leading the charge in terms of accepting the latest online casino releases, and this is why.…
