For the serious modern gamer who knows what they want and what’s hot, even asking a silly question like “is GTA V worth buying for the PS4” seems like blasphemy. Let’s face it, Rockstar’s new Grand Theft outing is as big and magnificent as we’d hoped it would be. To make things even more pee-in-your-pants awesome, they’re upping the ante with this next-gen release. That’s right, if you’ve been craving even more goodies to enhance the experience, look no further. Aside from all the obvious stuff, like fresh components or new activities, there’s the giant pink elephant in the room…
Some games are simply “destined” to be polarizing (if you’ll pardon the pun), such seems to be the case with Bungie’s new epic, “Destiny”. There are denizens of gamers lined up on both sides of this fight already, with quite a few in the LOVE camp as well as more than a few on the HATE side. Simply put, this really isn’t the sort of title that you can easily pigeonhole and segregate, largely because it seeks to do mix things up in the gameplay department. Nevertheless, one can’t really argue (honestly and logically, anyway) that Destiny is a “bad”…

Ah, Halloween…what dedicated, self-respecting gamer doesn’t love this holiday, eh? Why not check our 2015 PS4 Halloween themed games guide? While you might think that the PlayStation 4 is still too young to have any decent (and bone-chillingly scary) games available for it, the exact opposite is actually true. Yes, there are a number of terrifying titles currently out which would make for great Halloween entertainment; some will likely leave an indelible mark on you. Anyway, you’ve been warned, here they are, presented in no particular order… The Evil Within Currently (as of the time that this was written –…
Just put these four things together: an Open world RPG, intricate combat / parkour controls, a touch of Dark Souls II and a Lord of the Rings backdrop… Doesn’t that sound nice, like something you’d really like to test drive? Well, it’s certainly the sort of concept that LOTR and role-playing sandbox fans have been eagerly asking to see for the last decade or so. Yeah, I’m hinting at the fact this could very well in fact be THAT game. Ok, well, I’ll just be blunt – that IS this game indeed. There are so many neat little elements which…

If your favourite colour is white, or perhaps you want a change from black, we have some great news: two new white PS4 bundles will be coming soon. The Destiny Glacier White PS4 bundle was recently released by Sony. Due to its success, Sony has decided to unveil two new ones for Driveclub and Far Cry 4. These two bundles are currently only confirmed for a European launch. Both bundles will come in Glacier white and include a 500GB HDD, a copy of the game and a white DualShock 4 controller. Both bundles are expected to cost €439.99 / £349.…
If you’ve ever played the macbre, yet adorable PC game “Lemmings” before you already roughly understand the basic setup of Team 17’s “Flockers”. You essentially seek to solve puzzles by guiding your flock around the 2D map, diverting them to and fro as if they were a stream of water and not wooly-haired mammals. This game of course comes to us courtesy of the minds that created the mega-successful and charming “Worms” franchise (which you should also check out if you haven’t done so already). Is it ultimately a winner or a loser, read on to find out… For starters,…
Quite unexpectedly, developer From Software pulled a few major hits with titles like Demon’s Souls, and of course, Dark Souls I and II. All three of these titles perfectly capture a certain atmosphere and concept that’s been inherent in video gaming since the very beginning, that being dark fantasy with monsters. One could argue that they’re really just fully realized 3D renderings of forerunner games like “Ghosts ‘n Goblins”, but they’re obviously so much more. Well, keeping in line with the tradition (yet also pleasantly deviating in various ways) From Software is bringing us “Bloodborne”, which is a title that…
The primary aim of the virtual world is to let us escape our own reality and so far, we have found apt ways of doing so, with both console and pc gaming providing hours synthetic enjoyment. As successful as this part of the industry is there seemed to be a craving for something more, something that would take gaming to the next level, to quote Tron, something that would put us in the game grid. Although the Tron concept stands a little farfetched, if it were possible, it would sell and sell big. What I’m referring to is virtual gaming.…
Having already muscled its way onto the PC via the steam service, Tropico 5 provides exactly the sort of oft-hilarious dictator simulator experience that the series is renowned for. Of course, at the heart of the title is a simulation system allowing for building and construction management like no other, replete with metered updates which allow you to gauge the effectiveness of your leadership and decision-making in real-time. However, this is a slightly different affair this time, with multiplayer possibilities being added, thus allowing people to build societies on the same island where they can either work together or directly…
Top 10 PS4 Compatible Keyboards
Let’s face it, even though we’d like to think of 8th generation consoles as being some type of magical box, they’re really just supped-up gaming PC’s, aren’t they? Sure, using a keyboard with a console is certainly nothing new; many still like to do so with their PS3 or Xbox 360, but such implements really feel much more at home on a PlayStation 4. Even better, you can simply connect any USB keyboard or mouse (including Bluetooth models, wirelessly) and you’re all set. In the spirit of the ongoing merger between console and PC gaming, we thought it best to…
Having trouble staying alive or progressing through Bungie’s latest epic Sci-fi MMO masterpiece? Never fear, we’re here to provide you with a generous helping of pointed tips that will lend an edge in both combat as well as exploration. Anyway, without further ado, let’s get going… Become a collector It should go without saying that any type of game that involves loot-grabbing and/or storage necessitates that you become something of a “collector”, right? In this regard Destiny is no different, even going as far as providing you with a vault to store your goodies in. However, what many might not…
Recently the UK has been abuzz due to the ongoing vote which is supposed to decide whether or not Scotland should become a fully independent country. While there are certainly plenty of good reasons why residents there should perhaps consider a YES vote on the referendum, there’s one area where voting NO is a no-brainer, and that’s video games. Yes, that’s right, according to the lobbying body which represents gaming interests, Tiga: “…has proposed that the British government set up a new Creative Content Fund for video games, investing £3 million ($4.9 million) in game developers each year.” (source) This…
Destiny Review
Boiling down a game like Destiny to a simple review is not an easy affair. Sure, you can point out the various aspects from graphics to gameplay and on to its multiplayer features, but that still doesn’t really capture the essence of what it has to offer. No, in order to really get what Destiny is all about you have to spend hours exploring its worlds. This is the type of game that rewards those with a love of exploration; even better, it manages to do what virtually no other MMO has been able to do well up to this…
Here’s a detailed list of some of the games coming next year (early 2015) that you should definitely be excited about. There’s basically a bit of something for everyone featured here. Enjoy. Saints Row IV: Re-Elected + Gat Out of Hell Ok, yeah…this is basically a new and improved version of Saints Row IV which is being imported onto the 8th generation consoles. In order to further sweeten the deal, the devs have added a slick new expansion, “Gat out of hell”, which sees regularly recurring character Johnny Gat facing off against none other than Beelzebub himself (and you actually…

Dynamighty’s “CounterSpy” has arrived on the PS4 scene delivering exactly the sort of stylish stealth-based side-scrolling action that a lot of gamers crave. Not surprisingly, it’s also a title which is able to generate a great sense of 3D, which again is what makes its design so appealing. Combine that with the way it references cold war attitudes and loose military-themed tropes and you have a game that generates its own mystique. You assume the role of C.O.U.N.T.E.R., which is (as its name implies) is an organization which seeks to counter the plots of competing superpowers, both of which are…
Counterspy Review
There’s an old quote which everyone should know – “War is a racket”. Running the risk of sounding too overtly philosophical, this is exactly the sentiment that’s echoed throughout the game “Counterspy”. In essence you assume the role of a spy that is tasked (by some neutral organization) to sabotage the nuclear programs of two superpowers. Quite obviously this game is a take on cold war era politics between the US and Russia (which seems to be creeping up again these days), where the most logical choice (as portrayed by the title itself) is to subvert nuclear aggression and build…
Chances are you’ve already used one or more nifty accessories from HORI USA, a company that specializes in aftermarket goodies to plug into gaming consoles. Some of their previous products have been fairly popular with PS3 as well as Xbox 360 users, for example. Whereas a lot of other manufacturers might concentrate on standardized gaming pad knock-offs (the sort that you would use for regular gaming), HORI tends to produce very specialized pieces. Their Fighting EDGE pads are a great example of this, offering a more “traditional-looking” arcade-style layout which many gamers feel enhances their abilities and overall gaming experience.…
Most people are likely coming into Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare as either a fan of the series or as someone who really likes multiplayer action. To be perfectly honest, the whole concept will probably seem a bit strange at first…the idea of plants and zombies doing battle in the context of tower defense scenarios. It’s the sort of charming title that sucks you in and swaddles you in color and zaniness. However, upon closer inspection, we find that it also contains a number of humorous references to popular FPS franchises, such as Call of Duty and Battlefield. It is…
There’s nothing out there that’s able to really deliver a truly epic sense of adventure like a great role-playing game. Since you’re reading this it’s safe to assume that you’re one of the many gamers who were immediately drawn to the incredible opportunities for exploring the unknown offered by RPG”S, right? Also, there’s the diversity and myriad methods you can often interact with the world in an RPG, offering up the kind of experience that a FPS simply cannot deliver. Regardless, with a number of good games under its belt, the PS4 is long overdue for some really great role-playing…

According to developer Crunching Koalas, “MouseCraft” is a game that looks and feels a bit like a cross between Tetris and Lemmings, which is by all accounts, pretty much spot on. Obviously, in the former title the goal is to progress by fitting all sorts of strangely shaped blocks into place, while the latter deals with guiding furry little creatures around various maps, the goal being to save as many as possible. Needless to say, MouseCraft is indeed a very charming game with its own unique personality, but the question is – will you ultimately enjoy it? Just looking at…
While many might be inclined to think that Reaper of Souls, as well as the main game, Diablo III is just another hack ‘em up extravaganza, devoid of any real challenge, the truth couldn’t be any different. Actually, this add-on from Blizzard will indeed push your buttons in various ways while doing its best to prevent you from progressing forward. Of course, with some solid strategies and a bit of insight you can easily topple your foes and perhaps even have more fun with the game in general. Anyway, here are some handy Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls game tips…
When Bossa Studios’ somewhat bizarre “Surgeon Simulator” originally burst onto the gaming scene it seemed to be a rather oddball offering and in many ways, it still is. After all, how many games are out there which allow you to perform medical procedures with elements of dark humor thrown in? Certainly this is a one-of-a-kind game, of that there can be no question. Needless to say, for whatever reason, be it great design or just the “novelty factor”, this game has garnered a very strong cult following and has achieved success in one or more ways, commercially speaking. So, to…
On its face, Abe’s Oddysee: New ‘n’ Tasty! is a complete rebuild of the 1997 bearing the same basic name, which (at the time) wowed original PlayStation gamers and added some additional creative flair in the platforming genre. As one might expect, this new edition has improved upon its predecessor in every way imaginable be it visuals, engine (unity), cinematics or gameplay. For those unaware, the game details the exploits and adventures of a Mudokon called “Abe” who, disgusted with uncovering the beginnings of a nefarious plot, seeks out to free his fellow slaves. Without ruining too much of the…
