With media devices becoming ever more versatile, it seems silly to own an AppleTV box and Amazon’s Fire TV.  Why subscribe to cable when you can get most of your shows on Hulu?  Then there is your game console.  The PS4 now does a lot more than just play games.  You can browse the web, use social media and even watch movies. At first, we wondered if there were streaming sites that would be a good pairing with the PS4’s web browser.  Unfortunately, that rabbit hole leads to some sketchy sites with NSFW popups and misleading links.  What we did…

Do you find your PlayStation 4 randomly ejecting discs? Before calling Sony support or perhaps a priest know this is a common occurrence with the launch version of the PS4.   The good news is there are several things you can try before sending your console in for repairs.  Check out the quick and easy tips below to fix your phantom disc eject woes. The Power Cycle Akin to the British sitcom, The IT Crowd, Sony will give you the classic ‘Hello IT.  Have you tried turning it off then on again’?  This solution often works, though fails to address the…

WHY UPGRADE First you need to know what you want from your upgrade.  Most people will be looking to get one of 3 things: More Storage Space Faster Load and Boot Times All Around Upgrade Second, determine your budget for a new hard drive.  Expect to spend anywhere…

Everyone hates it when a game crashes.  Not only does it interrupt whatever you were doing but chances are good that unless autosave just kicked in that you lost a good chunk of time (and maybe even some epic loot.) One of the most common errors on the PS4 is CE-34878-0 (also called CE-36329-3.) The error mostly occurs with buggy games that haven’t been properly optimized.  In other words, it is more likely to happen with indie games than AAA titles. That said, it can happen to anyone with any game. The error is mainly due to corrupt data but…

If you’re up for the strangest, wildest, most colorful time of your life, Yooka-Laylee might just be the game to beat. It’s magical landscape and absurdly fun characters are available on multiple gaming platforms – PS4, Xbox One, Wii U, PC, Mac and Linux – and is due for release on the PS4 on April 11. Another in Playtonic Games’ plethora of cross platform successful titles, Yooka-Laylee has been a long awaited hat-tip to the beloved 3D platformer games of the 90s. From the same creators of Banjo-Kazooie, this is the perfect team to bring the latest platformer game to…

As with most rouge-like games you will find yourself pitted against dungeon towers filled with various monsters, loot, and levels.   Not to mention it is…

Battle Brothers! Space Marines – today the enemy is at our door! It’s difficult not to be excited that a new Dawn of War is coming, and Blood Ravens dutifully come with it. After their spectacularly bad luck between Dawn of War 2 and DoW2: Retribution they managed to bounce back and build their numbers up again. What await them this time? What new threat draws their ire and what new relic is deemed worthy of their attention? Let’s gaze into the Warp to get a glimpse into the grim darkness of the far future of April 2017. Universe at…

From Spiral House, developers of Little Big Planet, comes Troll and I. A story driven action adventure game with RPG elements currently available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam and to be released on Nintendo Switch later this spring. Troll and I is the story of Otto and his unlikely companion, each having their own unique abilities and weaknesses. Both can be controlled by a single player or you can jump into split screen co-op to adventure with a buddy. Borrowing from games like Uncharted with its climbing puzzles to Zelda: Breath of the Wild and its crafting Troll and…

Toukiden 2 is a gory, terrifying, fantastical mess of opportunity and active gameplay. The action role-play adventure, a sequel to the demon-hunting game Toukiden: The Age of Demons, has fully embraced its Japanese mythological references. It’s even thrown in a few European mythological elements to boot. Just released in Europe on the PS4, Vita and PC, Toukiden 2’s release comes just off the back of similarly themed and inspired Nioh, which received largely positive reviews. This overlap with the European release could be its demise or it could boost the game into the potential it has already shown. Toukiden 2…

To a lot of people in the whole PC vs Console debate, there is no question: PC reigns supreme, after the PS4, of course. They say it has better hardware, more customization, more games, and things like that. And to be frank, for as much in the console camp as I am, they’re right to a certain degree. A good gaming rig is superior to just about anything we’ve ever seen from consoles within certain areas, and even when a new console does a great job and is super powerful, such as the PS4 Pro, the PC ends up pulling…

I remember the first time I heard about the Mass Effect series. I was hanging out with a buddy of mine after church and we were headed to the local Walmart (apparently, my memory is vivid of all those years back) to get some food and such, so we could hang out and play games and such. I had just gotten a Xbox 360 not too long ago at that time and was just randomly talking about good games for the console I should try out. He asked me if I had heard of Mass Effect. I said no, that…

The PS4 has finally caught up with their Xbox rival and introduced the update 4.50 also known as Sasuke to the Playstation 4, which amongst a few other features also supports an external hard drive, so gamers can store even more games than the console’s limit. Using a 3.0 USB cable, you can now connect a hard drive as small as 250GB and as large as 8TB. It is a long awaited addition to Sony’s feature list and is allowing people to access and store even more games with ease. But the big questions is, what are the best external…

Finally Sony’s PS4 have picked up on the long awaited chance to connect an external hard drive to the device, allowing players to install and access games directly on the hard drive. This is a great addition to the PS4 because you can now store much more than the meagre 500 GB of PS4 space and no longer need to switch in and out of games accordingly. You can connect a USB that ranges anywhere between 250GB and 8TB, which gives you the chance to play pretty much anything without worry anymore. Xbox have had this feature for a long…

Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Genesis. Super Mario on the SNES. Crash Bandicoot on the Sony PlayStation. All of these games (and consoles) are the ones that meant the most to me growing up in my love for gaming. Sonic started it all, Mario (and Donkey Kong too honestly) came in right after Sonic and lived alongside him and the Genesis. Then after a few years Crash Bandicoot came in with the PlayStation. All great platform games, all a lot of fun, and all game changers (hehe) to me growing up. But something changed in the last few years…

A post-apocalyptic hunter-gatherer game most likely has people thinking of The Walking Dead or some such similar show or game on today’s market. But Horizon: Zero Dawn steps above and beyond the common expectation for such a theme. It shows incredible uniqueness, spectacular scenery and keeps the player constantly moving in their quest for the truth. The game follows Aloy, a female hunter/archer who must navigate a post-apocalyptic world overrun by monster robots. She leaves her protected nest of an area, where she is raised and trained to hunt and survive by a man named Rost, in order to explore…

Internet hackers are one of the worst, most annoying things to have ever happened to technology. They can access your data, bank account information and so much more. Over the years, hackers have been targeting PlayStation users to take control of your profile, even using your email address or changing the primary user to avoid detection in order to steal and use your PlayStation accounts. Mostly the stories are the same. Someone accessed their account, changed the email and/or password and proceeded to shop using the victim’s credit card information. So if this is your issue – step one would…

In 2013, the world was introduced to the PS4, the latest PlayStation console and 2014’s Gadget of the Year at the T3 Awards. We grew up watching the PlayStation adapt through the ages, seeing diehard fans queue through the night just to buy the latest console. We saw them introduce PlayStation TV, the DualShock 4, a motion censor Camera and we even saw them launching games at a whopping 1080p HD, bringing video gaming to the next level. When it comes to puzzle games, we are often used to seeing mobile or computer games such as Snake, Tetris, Mario Vs.…
