Perhaps one of the coolest features of the PlayStation 4 (aside from its amazing performance capabilities) is its ability to quickly capture streaming video directly from your gameplay. Needless to say, for people who like to broadcast things like “Let’s play” sessions, this addition is something of a revelation. However, it doesn’t end there, the way the PSN is set up with the “Twitch” service, you can also play the part of spectator, watching other people’s gameplay in real-time if you want. For many, this is probably one of the most interesting features of Sony’s new console and no doubt…

Like cleaners in an office, PS4 accessories are undoubtedly the unsung heroes of that piece of kit in the corner of your living room you affectionately refer to as a PS4. Here’s a look at over 20 accessories for PS4 currently available. This list isn’t based on cost and so there is a wide range of prices across these items – there’s always the January sales if needs be… Oh, and you may find some products are easier to find depending on which country you’re from, but who doesn’t like a challenge? Squid Grips The simple ideas are the best,…

With PS VR ready for take-off, it’s time to take a look at some of the titles that will be coming this new technology sometime soon. Hopefully there’s not too much insanity here, just a good guide to 25 upcoming PlayStation Virtual Reality titles to consider getting yourself hyped about. As if there isn’t enough to get hyped about at this time of year… Reader beware, however – the very essence of VR means that it will literally get inside your head, so maybe you should be on the lookout for that insanity I’ve now mentioned three times. The Deep…

In late October, the thirteenth title in the Gran Turismo racing game franchise was announced. Called Gran Turismo Sport (or GT Sport), it’s the first GT game on current-gen consoles (not to mention a PlayStation exclusive), and it looks really good. With both online and offline play available and plans for long term content updates, it feels like the developers at SCE are really revving up to deliver the best Gran Turismo experience ever. There are plenty of reasons to get excited about this promising-looking game. Here are the top ten (in no particular order). A Reason to Dust Off…

As the weather turns ever bleaker, colder and, well, wintry, let’s cheer ourselves up by looking ahead to 25 of the most exciting upcoming releases of the next year and beyond. It no specific order, let’s delve into some upcoming titles that will quickly increase your PS4 games catalogue. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End The action-adventure genre doesn’t get much better than what the Uncharted series delivers, and that’s why we should be receiving yet another award winning experience from this stellar franchise. Expected to be the best in the series, Drake will bring more drama, thrills and action within a new and exciting…

It wasn’t a matter of if, but rather, when, Sony would begin to re-release PlayStation 2 classics. After all, who doesn’t want a trip down nostalgia lane in 1080p? The line-up is expected to expand, but right now Sony has announced that 8 games will be available to start things off. And… Here they are: Dark Cloud — $14.99 Grand Theft Auto III — $14.99 Grand Theft Auto: Vice City — $14.99 Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas — $14.99 Rogue Galaxy — $14.99 The Mark of Kri — $14.99 Twisted Metal: Black — $9.99 War of the Monsters — $9.99…

From New Years Day to New Years Eve, gamers all over the world speculate about what the “Game of the Year” will be. The PS4 saw so many good titles drop in 2015, though, that all of them really deserve a mention. Whether you’re getting a PS4 for Christmas or simply haven’t had the time to keep up with the PlayStation 4’s newest releases, this guide should fill you in about what you’ve been missing this year (in no particular order). Until Dawn Horror fans were treated to a brand new franchise with the release of Until Dawn. The unique…

The Rainbow Six games have always held a special place in my heart thanks to their unique blend of simulation and arcade-like gameplay, and Siege once again balances those styles perfectly. This is a multiplayer FPS where you are not able to respawn or regenerate health, so it encourages you to not simply out-shoot your opponent, but to out-think them as well. Each gunfight that you engage in is therefore incredibly tense, and when you manage to win, it’s ultimately very rewarding. Siege features only three modes, one of which is instantly forgettable (basically a single player tutorial), another which…

The current generation of video game consoles has been around for awhile now, but this Christmas is the best time to finally put down that PS3 or 360 controller and finally get a PlayStation 4. Whether you’re looking to buy a new console for yourself or a loved one, you can’t go wrong with the PS4 thanks to its lower price tag (compared with its main rival, the Xbox One) a variety of exclusive games and accessories, and a more mature gaming experience (when compared with its other rival, the Wii U). Let’s explore why the PlayStation 4 is the…

When I first sat down with the long-hyped Star Wars: Battlefront, I was very excited. The last two Battlefront games were a ton of fun back in the day, and this new version was developed by DICE (who also developed the most recent Battlefield games)… so how could anything go wrong when combining the awesome graphics, audio and gameplay that DICE is known for with the incredible lore, environments, characters, and vehicles that make Star Wars so iconic? I’m still trying to figure it out, because it definitely did go wrong. Let’s start with a quick overview of what Battlefront…

2015 was a huge year for the PS4, and Sony appears to be committed to keeping that momentum going in 2016. While there haven’t been a ton of hardware announcements (aside from one very important peripheral being released early next year), there are quite a few games which have players excited as well as various rumors circulating about future announcements. So if you’re wondering why you should be excited for 2016 as a PS4 gamer, here’s a short list to get that hype train rolling. PlayStation VR Arguably one of the biggest things to happen to the PS4 and a…

The DualShock 4 controller has many advantages, from wireless playability to a great design. However, for those who admire Microsoft’s new Elite controller, you’ll be pleased to read that you can, in fact, use it with the PS4. The XBOX One elite controller is rather pricey at $150 and it still uses those pesky annoying AA batteries. But it does look impressive and has many features. In order to use it with the PlayStation 4 you’ll require a device called the CronusMAX PLUS. You’ll also be able to use a variety of other controllers too – giving you many possibilities.…

For newcomers to the world of Fallout, 4 is a great place to start. Developed by Bethesda (The Elder Scrolls series), the Fallout games are action RPGs set many years after the world has been ravaged by nuclear war. The stories in the games aren’t connected, but the themes and settings are all very similar. In 4, you’ll be traversing a post-apocalyptic version of Boston filled to the brim with robots, mutants, mercenaries, and raiders (some dangerous, others not) as you attempt to find out who murdered your wife and kidnapped your son. They payoff isn’t great, but as with…

Thanks to a number of fantastic releases and a plethora of exciting announcements, it was a good year for the PlayStation 4. As 2015 draws to a close, though, what’s left? December is going to be a bit sparse as far as new releases go, but what is being offered should definitely get you excited. From the highly anticipated Just Cause 3 to a promising first look at Uncharted 4 multiplayer, this year is definitely closing with a bang thanks to a handful of games that will no doubt keep you occupied well into 2016. Just Cause 3- Dec 1…

Within the grueling sound of engines rumbling and tires screeching, comes out the latest edition of Need for Speed for PlayStation 4. The legacy that has been created by the gaming series goes back more than two decades, when the first Need for Speed installment was released by Road & Track. Over the 90s and throughout early 2000s, the game became perhaps the most popular racing game series across all platforms. The latest edition of the edition brings back much of the environment that became the success of the series in the NFS: Underground editions. With the tuner culture coming…

If you’re looking for a great party game for the PS4 to play with your friends and family, you can’t really go wrong with The Jackbox Party Pack. For half the price of your typical AAA game, you get five classic board games in one package, but without any pieces to lose or mess to clean up. You don’t even need to worry about purchasing additional DualShock controllers for your console- the game is controlled by your tablet or smartphone, and up to 100 people can play! While it’s incredibly unlikely that you can fit 100 people around your TV,…

If you own a PS4 and you get a kick out of karaoke, there’s a fantastic newly released party game on the market just for you. Now That’s What I Call Sing is a ton of fun whether you’ve never hit a note in your life or are getting ready for an American Idol audition. There’s a surprising amount of depth in the game thanks to a variety of modes and multiple unique difficulty levels, and while all of the songs except one are from 2013 or later, there’s a fairly good mix of genres and songs for you to…

It’s arguably the best party game on the PS4 right now, perfect for gamers with kids or significant others who can’t (or won’t) play FIFA or Call of Duty with them. Incredibly easy to learn and have a good time with, Just Dance 2016 is a huge step up from its predecessors in many ways. So, if you haven’t played a Just Dance title yet, you’re probably wondering what the game is all about. Inspired by games like DDR and Guitar Hero, Just Dance displays a series of dance moves on screen and uses either the PlayStation Camera or (new…

With Just Dance 2016 now available, we thought it was only right to also review last year’s offering too. So let’s get started. It’s arguably the best party game on the PS4 right now, perfect for gamers with kids or significant others who can’t (or won’t) play FIFA or Call of Duty with them. Incredibly easy to learn and have a good time with, Just Dance only requires that you have the PlayStation Camera to get started. So, if you haven’t played a Just Dance title yet, you’re probably wondering what the game is all about. Inspired by games like…

We know that there are a plethora of good games coming to the PS4 during the rest of 2015 and all through 2016, but what’s next for PlayStation gamers? Will we see new titles be announced a few months before release like Fallout 4, or will we have to wait years to actually get to play them, like games in the GTA series? There’s no telling, but the following 8 games are my best guesses for what could be coming next. The Last of Us 2 Developer Naughty Dog is putting the finishing touches on Uncharted 4 right now, but…

Assassin’s Creed: Unity was widely regarded as one of the worst games in the franchise, which was disappointing since it came directly after Black Flag, which is considered by many to be the one of the best. Syndicate, the latest Assassin’s Creed game, is Ubisoft’s apology, bringing the series back to a better place and adding a lot of new content and features that are sure to please fans. Still, control issues and virtually no difficulty are once again a problem that will be sure to turn off those who had problems with many of these titles in the past.…

This collection provides you with three things: the single player packages for Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. If you’re familiar with them from your PS3 playing days then you should know that all three games have been upgraded to run at 1080p and 60fps and there’s better all-round lighting and textures. There is now also a Photo Mode together with new trophies. Apart from that, however, there’s nothing particularly new here so if you’re familiar with the series you may feel that you’re simply going to wait until next year for the next…

It’s easy to sum up this game: if you remember that the Decepticons are baddies, the Autobots are the goodies and you need to smash up anything bad that comes your way you should be well on your way. The Decepticons want to turn Earth into Cybertron 2, the brutes. This is Transformers in its simplest, most popular format – Generation 1 and so is likely to appeal most to those who still consider themselves 80s kids-at-heart. Easy to sum up, then, but can it offer anything of any interest to any but the die-hardest of Transformers fans? Did Platinum…

Picture a time way back when: Stock, Aitken and Waterman were bigger than Simon Cowell is today – I know, imagine! Perms were cool whether you were male or female and the biggest concerns regarding privacy still involved neighbours and heights of hedges. Yes, 1988 was in many ways a different world altogether. Still, although it was the year Rick Astley unleased Never Gonna Give You Up, it was also the year in which we were gifted Rainman, Die Hard, and, on the gaming front, the original Wasteland. Thank heavens for small mercies, eh? What a long time it has…
