It’s become an argument that many gamers have voiced opinions to recently. Should the online and multiplayer landscape of consoles, namely the PS4 and Xbox One be combined? In principle, it seems like an awesome idea, in fact, exciting. However, when you digest the reality of the matter, the outcome is clear. Let’s explore. Sony’s PlayStation 4 isn’t shy of success, it’s taken the gaming world by storm, creating a prime destination for any console gamer. With that said, Microsoft’s ambitions have gradually faded for the brand they once claimed would reign supreme; Xbox One. With Xbox sales unimpressive, Microsoft…

Accessories enhance every good console, and the PS4 is no different. These accessories are not just items that add to the experience of a console, but once you start using them, you will never know how you survived without them.

When picking up a console for the first time, a substantial contributing factor in your choice is what exclusives that each system has. Exclusive games are games that you can only play on that specific console which is sold on no other consoles. This means, if there is a particular exclusive that you want to play, then you must own that console. The below exclusives, in no specific order, are what makes owning the PS4 worth every penny. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End  The Uncharted series takes you through the adventures of Nathan Drake, a modern-day Indiana Jones. Uncharted 4:…

With the holidays quickly approaching the question of buying a new console is bound to arise. To prepare you for your choice, here is a look at the available PS4 consoles on the market. I will not include the release day PS4 due to Sony discontinuing it and now referring to the PS4 Slim as the entry-level PS4. Besides, at the same price, the PS4 Slim is a slight upgrade from the original release date PS4 in a smaller shell. So, it’s PS4 Slim vs. PS4 Pro. Let’s continue. Design The most straightforward difference to see between these two consoles…

As a parent, I know the struggle of trying to buy the perfect gift for your children. This guide will explain everything that you need to know before you purchase a PS4.

It’s a game that many will remember playing on their PS1 and PS2 consoles. Those good memories will be re-playable on your PS4 will the upcoming release of Micro Machines World Series. Codemasters are currently working on the Micro Machines franchise with a new upcoming title named as Micro Machines World Series. The game will release on PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Those who consider themselves as a competitive gamer are sure to be attracted to Sony’s upcoming Pro controllers. Arriving later this year, Sony has announced two controllers; the Razer Raiju and Nacon Revolution. Both pads are chunkier than the DualShock 4 controller and resemble that of Microsoft’s Xbox Elite controller. It seems important to remember, however, that these are simply licenced by Sony and are actually made by Razer and Nacon. The official DualShock 4 controller is an all-round controller that serves fantastically well for all purposes, and this is why these pro controllers are designed for a specific gamer…

It was predicted many times in science fiction, but we now live in a world where virtual reality is becoming a mainstream option, of which Sony is expected to become the leader. Technology has reached a pivotal point to which VR can be ideally supported. Sony’s message was clear; they wanted to enter the race with a device that was affordable, high quality and would provide access to plenty of great content. This review takes a look over my personal views. Let’s get started. Firstly, as you begin to open the rather large box, you’ll find a variety of wires,…

Each year fans of football are treated to a fresh release of both EA’s FIFA and Konami’s Pro Evolution franchise.  The two juggernaut leaders continue to battle it out for glory on an annual basis, leaving fans the option to select their favourite. This review takes a look at what this year’s FIFA 17 has to offer. Let’s begin. Firstly, it seems important to state that the FIFA franchise has one key advantage over its rival, which is the full licensing. Each team, player and kit resemble the real-life counterparts, which seems to be a key element when considering EA’s…

Team 17’s recipe of Worm turn based strategy has continued to provide a funny yet addictive experience since the 1990s. The evolution of the game over the years could probably be described as subtle, yet the progress is continues to keep the series feeling fresh and updated. This time around vehicles are added to combat and becomes the main attraction. Let’s take a look at why Worms W.M.D is more than worthy of a download. You should probably note that I’m personally a big fan of turn-based strategy, and whilst it’s not a genre appreciated by the majority, it does…

We aren’t ready for a PS5 just yet, but the PS4 Pro is likely to extend and finalise Sony’s console’s 8th generational reign. This article takes a look over why the recent announcement of the PS4 Pro didn’t just make sense, but the clarity of such a decision will become clear in years to come. Let’s begin taking a look at where the PlayStation brand is possibly heading. As we enter an age where technology currently appears to be dictating consumer direction, things aren’t exactly obvious on many levels, and the old fashioned ‘tried and tested’ strategy often used by console manufactures isn’t so easily applied…

It’s obvious knowledge, the PS4 has continued to sell and impress since its release, becoming the console of choice. However, only a naïve company would fail to see and sense where future trends could take us. Sony is a company that loves to innovate, whether it be through content or the technology that powers it. As we begin to see the emergence of 4K gaming, it was somewhere Sony wanted to take the PS4. Just as consumers aren’t used to technology advancing at a pace that could challenge Usain Bolt, it’s also an area that console manufactures aren’t familiar with…

We speculated that the 7th of September would be the day that we learnt about Sony’s next step within the cycle of the PlayStation 4. As expected, held at an event in New York, Sony has unveiled two new editions of the console. Already heavily leaked online, the PS4 Slim was announced and will be sold at a cheaper cost, making it both lighter in weight and price. However, it was the news of the PS4 Pro which took the limelight. The PS4 Pro 4K gaming is a resolution that appears to be approaching very fast, and it was an…

It’s a conundrum that faces many PS4 owners; should I sit my PS4 down, or stand it upright? As with any decision, there are pros and cons that come with either option, but it ultimately comes down to which you prefer. For example, some might find it easier to store the PS4 flat based on the environment surrounding the console. Others prefer the striking appearance of having their console stand as a tower. If you decide to pick the standing option, here we provide you with some great options. Let’s begin. Sony Official PS4 Vertical Stand Developed specifically for the…

We’ve speculated for quite sometime that a PS4 Slim would be part of the Sony PS4 cycle, and it appears as though the PS4 Slim could be announced with the PS4 Neo this September. Sony has confirmed that they are holding an event on September 7th  in New York. A seller on the British classifieds ads website Gumtree has a listing that appears to be the PS4 Slim or PS4 Neo. It’s still too early to see whether this posted console is the PS4 Neo or PS4 Slim, or an alternative unknown mode, but it certainly appears legitimate. It’s unsure…

The media hype would have you believe that Sony is ready to announce a fancy new addition the PS4 console family, and whilst it could be true, the juggernaut Japanese company is certainly keeping quiet surrounding this very subject. Andrew House, CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, has already claimed that a high-end edition is expected to enter the market within the future. Obviously, 4K content is expected to grow within the coming years, and it’s an area that will fall within the PlayStation 4’s console life-span. It’s an area that Sony cannot afford to ignore. However, it seems important to…

Sony have announced that they’ll be holding an event on the 7th of September, whilst details are still sketchy, it’s expected that the PS4 Neo and PS4 Slim will be announced. The timing would seem accurate, too. After all, this year’s E3 event was highlighted by Sony’s game announcements, and it was always going to be at a later date when we were to learn about the extended console editions of the PS4. For those who aren’t already aware, the PS4 Neo is the code name for Sony’s 4K compatible console. The improved technology is designed to provide cutting edge…

It’s a subject that we’ve rumoured about for some time, after all, it would break the Sony tradition if we weren’t to see a slimmed down edition of their latest flagship console.

It has been confirmed by Sony that a more powerful PS4 console will release sometime in the future. Unveiled from an interview with the Financial Times, it was confirmed that this new console won’t be announced at this year’s E3 event.

This should be taken as good news for PS4 gamers, as Sony are waiting for the right time before unleashing their new beast. With VR technology incoming this October and 4K TVs beginning to fall into the more affordable price range,…

It’s no secret that Sony love to slim down their consoles, take one look at the PS2 and PS3, and you’ll find this to be a true formula. With Sony appealing to the majority of 8th-gen gamers, it’s never a good idea to become complacent. One of the reasons that Sony has achieved such a great following with the PlayStation brand, of course, is innovation. Fresh ideas, exciting new games, constant updates to online functionalities and considerations to hardware upgrades are just a few of the ingredients that Sony constantly consider. Take PlayStation VR as a prime example, it will…

It seems fair to say that some of the smaller titles don’t generate the attention that the larger franchises do. Yet, many of these smaller games end up providing plenty of entertainment value, sometimes more so than the heavy hitting releases. With that said, this article takes a look at four upcoming games that look interesting. Let’s begin. Dangerous Golf One of the more relaxing sports, golf doesn’t entertain the mass appeal that soccer, football and others do – and this is even more evident with gamers. Your typical gamer tends to gravitate towards action-packed titles that provides the adrenalin flight or…

For those who aren’t aware, from today you’ll be able to remote play your PS4 games using Windows and OS X. The feature is just one included with the 3.50 PS4 update. It’s a feature which will probably be for specific gamers. However, remote play will especially be seen as useful for those with families. Take for example, your child wants to watch the latest Disney movie, meaning you’re unable to progress on Bloodborne because the TV is in use. PS4 Remote play can turn into a useful tool for this type of scenario. Simply stream gameplay over to your…

Coined to be the next big advancement within the digital entertainment arena, virtual reality is expected to change the way many of us experience certain video games. With a few key players, Sony’s PlayStation VR will pair with the PlayStation 4, delivering a fresh way to jump into games. There were a few details that Sony hadn’t shared with consumers until today. So, let’s take a look at these details. With Facebook’s Oculus Rift coming with a price tag of $599 or £499, it was expected that Sony’s headset would undercut this by quite a margin. What’s more, the Oculus…

The weather is still, for many, a bitter reminder that we are still in winter season, but as spring is just around the corner, we should remember that the flood of upcoming and exciting PS4 releases aren’t too far away. We are about to exit the industry drought period and enter a month when things start to slowly speed up once more.
