Gaming is accelerating as an art form.

What exactly is a “sandbox game”? Some would define it simply as an open-world game in which you can go where you like and do as you please. Others would say a sandbox game has to be one where you can exercise creativity in some way, whether that be building things or messing with a physics engine. Either way, the…

The DualShock 4 controller is one of the PS4’s undeniable highlights. It’s an incredibly ergonomic and easy-to-use peripheral that always feels right in your hands, no matter what the shape or size of those hands might be. While we love the PS5’s DualSense controller and the additional features it has, we’ll always have a soft spot in our hearts for…

Do you prefer skulking in the shadows and picking your enemies off from a distance to engaging them in open combat?

Survival games have soared in popularity in recent years and I am not complaining. It’s a genre that has gotten a lot of attention lately because of some really good games and some really bad games. There doesn’t seem to be a middle ground for survival titles. Looking at the worst games might be funny but let’s be real, you…

Although the PS5 generation is well and truly underway, there are still many gamers who are contentedly playing games on their PS4. There could be a number of reasons for this; the consoles are much easier to find, for a start, and for gamers who don’t care too much about the technical side of things, the PS4 (especially the PS4…

The PS5 may still be fairly early on in its life cycle, but that’s not stopping gaming industry insiders and gamers alike from speculating about the PS6. What kind of specs will it have? Will the storage be expanded? What sort of games can we expect from the console? Of course, all of these questions are unanswered right now; after…

The PS4 is a wonderful little machine. Not only does it have one of the biggest and most comprehensive gaming libraries of any console ever released, but it’s also good for watching media. Your console has native apps for services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+, and you can also find more niche apps like Crunchyroll and DAZN if…

Your PS4 controller is one of the most important gaming peripherals you own. If you regularly game on your PS4 – and you should, given just how great a machine it is – then you’ll know that your controller is an extension of you. It’s how you interface with your favourite games, how you experience interactive stories that are completely…

Don’t count the PS4 out just yet. Sure, the PS5 is out and performing incredibly well, and many games are now exclusively next-gen propositions, but the PS4 is far from dead. Big-name games like Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarok are still launching on PS4, and while they may be the last first-party games we see arriving on…

The death of the “music game with fancy peripherals” genre is a sad one indeed. Games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band were staples of parties at which nobody wanted to talk to each other, but the undisputed royalty in this area was games like SingStar and Let’s Sing. Luckily, the latter is still going (relatively) strong, as Let’s Sing…

The PS4 is a wonderful console, but it can’t quite do everything. While the DualShock 4 is an excellent controller most people will have no trouble using at all, it’s certainly lacking when it comes to chat features; if you don’t use a headset for voice chat, you’re limited to the software keyboard (or a mobile device), which can be…

Even though the PS5 has hit the market, don’t count the PS4 out just yet. This amazing little console still has plenty of life left in it; although the first exclusively next-gen games have begun to hit the market, plenty of gamers still can’t get hold of a PS5, so the PS4 is still a great way to experience games…

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.

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…

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…

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…

Don’t count the PS4 out just yet. While 2021 likely represents the final year in which developers and manufacturers will fully support the PS4, games will likely still be made for the phenomenally popular console for many years to come. This, combined with the ongoing semiconductor shortage that’s making PS5 consoles hard to come by, means that many gamers will…

Let nobody say that Sony’s last-gen console is out for the count.

Sony’s PS4 turns 8 years old this year, which seems remarkable given just how full and rich a life it’s had.

The wait is over. The next-gen console has arrived and we’re already seeing improvements from the PS4. With a fresh look, higher resolutions, less lagging and way more storage, the PS5 is far superior to the PS4 in more ways than one. The next-gen console is something completely different which is both exciting and concerning. The PS4 was a great…

With the release of the PlayStation 5, the next-generation of consoles has officially started. It has seen a whole raft of new games than can take advantage of new features such as copious amounts of DDR6 memory and even faster processors.

Cyberpunk 2077 has finally launched after several delays, and the reaction has been somewhat mixed. Some reviewers have lavished praise on the game, claiming it’s one of the best RPGs of its generation.

Most people will tell you that dog is man’s best friend, but there is one loyal animal whose companionship is often underrated.
