Any endeavor, regardless of how successful or popular it is, will still have its faults….it’s “weak spots”, if you will. Even the mighty PlayStation 4, which has given us so much in a relatively short space of time where gaming is concerned, has generated its fair share of disappointments. The point of this article isn’t to dwell on these letdowns or shame their developers into stepping up their game (pun intended), but to perhaps help consumers who are budget conscious to make more informed decisions. Also, perhaps this will provide a bit of a release for those who have had…

With Christmas incoming fast, it’s time to turn your GTA V experience into a Christmas themed one. Rockstar have plenty of awesome new additions with their new DLC. The update includes new vehicles, weapons, clothing, accessories and of course, snow! Certain bugs are also fixed in this update, which include: • Owning a third property is now possible, which allows you total ownership of up to 30 cars and 9 bicycles. • Deadzone and Acceleration have new control setting options. • First Person Mode camera settings updated. • Fixed various online multiplayer issues. You’ll find that the weather starts to…

For the most part, Dragon Age: Inquisition is yet another romping good BioWare offering that features the same sort of iconic RPG action we all already adore. Yes, the good folks who brought us the revolutionary Mass Effect series have this new installation from their “other” successful franchise to be proud of, well, for a number of reasons. First of all, it continues the epic feel established by its predecessors, adding new gameplay features in a collective fashion. Of course there’s also been an attempt to add new, more “open” elements as well, which greatly increases the overall scope of…

Whether or not you’re a fan of the James Bond franchise (and let’s admit it, since you’re reading this you probably are) you cannot deny that the series’ gaming franchise really needs a bit of a boost. Believe it or not, various developers have been making 007 video games since the early 1980’s, of course the first real “hit” wasn’t scored until Rare released “Goldeneye: 007” for the Nintendo 64, but that’s another story altogether. With 23 James Bond 007 movie releases, the James Bond movies series has offered action packed movie entertainment since 1953.  GoldenEye 007 was arguably the…

Just a few years ago the notion of Sony releasing another console that might become popular enough to overtake the fabled PS2 seemed like just another pipe dream, little more than wishful thinking. After all, we’re talking about a true phenomenon here and no one can really pinpoint the why or how of video gaming success. If it were that easy to roll out a new winning console then every sizable company out there with any technological know-how would be doing it and making money hand over fist. Of course, actually creating a console that ignites the imagination of the…

Let’s cut straight to the chase here… You most likely purchased a shiny new PlayStation 4 console for one reason – to load up the absolute best games available for it, right? In anticipation of this, we’ve put together a list of our top 10 PS4 games of 2014. Anyway, without further ado, let’s jump right in. The Last of Us Remastered This PlayStation exclusive is first on our list for a number of reasons. Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us is a survival horror experience which tells the tale of two seemingly disparate sidekicks who end up becoming ensnared…

XBOX One users were able to access this for sometime, however, Sky customers can now stream live TV and video on demand directly through their PS4 console. The app allows customers to stream all Sky channels that are included within their package, including the likes of Sky Movies and Sky Sports. You can get the Sky app at the PlayStation Store – it’s approx. 60MB in size. However, you’ll require a Sky Go Extra subscription or Sky Multiscreen subscription. If you don’t have either then you’ll need to subscribe which will cost you an additional £5 per month. This long…

Click here to see the white PS4 console special offers. Click here to see the black PS4 console special offers.

For a long time the major game console manufacturers have tried to move into other markets. Perhaps the “holy grail” as it were is the ability to completely cover base television and streaming services, all in one package.   While there are still some doubts as to whether or not Sony’s PlayStation TV will be able to ultimately fulfill this role, it certainly has all the required pieces needed to do so. It’s basically a PS Vita, stripped down to the bare essentials and repackaged as sleeker unit that’s meant to rest near your television. You might call it a “streaming…

What started off as a seemingly endless barrage of Lego-themed titles has now blossomed into an institution of sorts. We’re now on the third Batman iteration, which as you would expect, improves on all the little mechanics which make the games so much fun to play. Naturally, the fun and lovable style, art and visuals remain as great as ever, even looking better due to the fact that it’s on advancing consoles like the PS4. This isn’t just devoted to Batman though, there’s a generous helping of other comic book characters to keep you company as well. Yes, you can…

If you were to rewind a few years, many people in the UK wouldn’t have even knew what ‘Black Friday’ actually was. In 2013, a number of stores decided to take part in the event, due to its success, this year has seen the majority of high-street retailers use ‘Black Friday’ as a marketing tool to get people rushing to the stores. Black Friday originally started as a US tradition, the day following Thanks Giving; generally branded as the start of the Christmas shopping season. It has recently caught on in a number of countries, probably thanks to the recession…

If you’re really in the market for a new video game console this Christmas, why not make it a PlayStation 4? After all, we are talking about what is now the most popular system out there, with over 10 million units sold in a really short amount of time. In fact, Sony’s PS4 sales have effectively doubled that of Microsoft’s Xbox One (which is also a great machine in its own right) – many gamers are opting for the PS4 vs. the XBOX One for a variety of reasons. The bottom line is that you KNOW it has to be…

In this day and age, when the average gamer is getting older and older, one has to carefully choose which games to buy for their kids. Let’s face it, you can’t really afford to just purchase a console for them and hope that they make the best decisions. No, to really do the right thing you need to do some research. In all likelihood, that’s probably exactly what brought you here in the first place. So, without further ado, we present the best PS4 games (circa 2014) for younger (or sensitive) children … Knack “Knack” caught a lot of flak…

If it’s been a while since you’ve loaded up a good racing game, buckle your seat belt and get ready to blast off in a whole new direction because we’re about to take a look at the best titles in the genre, for the PlayStation 4 that is. Whilst the PS4 is yet to find its Forza, and many would argue that it was a lacklustre year for PS4 racing games, there’s some big ones coming in the not so distant future – Grand Turismo 7 to name one. Let think that this year was a little taster of much…

You know what they say, “you can never have too much of a good thing” and certainly this sentiment rings truer than ever if we’re talking about the Grand Theft Auto V. Leading up to its initial release there was definitely an air of excitement abounding, people weren’t sure what to expect. The pessimists were quick to jump on board the “it’ll pale in comparison to the mighty GTA IV” boat while the optimists were ready to go full-on “kool-aid swilling cult member” in their intense support of the title. The point is – expectations were running high and Rockstar…

Some games benefit from having a close association with more visible entertainment franchises. In the case of the Walking Dead video game series though, there is definitely a special connection, partly because of the way it formulizes a connection with various characters, carrying them over a series of terrains and situations.   However, perhaps the most striking thing about this seasonal, installment-based video game cycle is that it simultaneously introduces a very slick type of gameplay in the midst of a horror premise that feel extremely visceral. The way the action is delivered is part graphic novel, part quicktime event sequence…

Telltale Games’ episodic video game series named after the popular AMC tv show (and graphic novels) has become a rather hot commodity. Not only does it do an admirable job of portraying the drama inherent in the plot / concept of the rural zombie apocalypse, but it also delivers some great gameplay as well. Stylistically speaking, the action is all over the map with elements of point and click adventures as well as the more traditional 3D games. The selling point of course is that it basically puts the storytelling on autopilot, placing you at the helm as the main…

Much has been said about the Far Cry series and untold multitudes of gamers have done even more inside of its fictional open world sandboxes, with the previous installment “Far Cry 3” definitely hitting a high water mark. Naturally, expectations are high for Far Cry 4, not only because it is the next in line for release, but also due to the fact that developer Ubisoft Montreal (known for turning out blockbuster hits) has promised us the moon this time around. In short, FC4 maintains the same basic open world system and mechanics as its predecessor, neatly upgrading where possible,…

Blasting around dirt tracks, flying through the air with the greatest of ease, tons of true to life options at your fingertips…MXGP 14 really is worthy of its “official” title.   Whereas many other similar titles might just smash together generic riders and/or give you a swath of tracks which might sort of resemble real world locales this game grants you the real deal. In other words, yes there are real racers as well as real tracks featured in game from various places around the world, which is perhaps one of the best reasons to check out what MXGP 14 has…

Often overlooked is the fact that the PlayStation 4 has (to its credit) a number of really great sports titles.   One would expect this of course, as the token athletic game here and there is certainly not without precedent, but 2014 saw the release of some really great titles. Whether you’re a fan of basketball, soccer (football), golfing, cycling, hockey or American football, there’s a game out there for you on Sony’s new platform. So, instead of wasting time, let’s dive in and take a detailed look at the best PS4 sports games of 2014… NBA 2K15 You’re going to…
