There are many that are surprised that Driveclub is nothing more than a mediocre, run of the mill racing game. Dark Sniper isn't. With multiple delays, Sony's poor selection in first party investments, and the fact that this was an IP that nobody asked for, Driveclub is another waste of money for Sony. The funding this game recieved could have been used for Gran Turismo 7.

Decisions like this is exactly why Sony is in the financial crisis they are in now. Because of ...

It looks as if Turn 10 has really turned the corner(pun very much intended) by providing another next generation racing game with pristine visuals and top of the line gameplay. Dark Sniper would like to give credit where credit is due. Kudos to Microsoft and Turn 10 for bringing TWO excellent next generation racing games while the competition struggles to barely release one, with mediocre review scores at best.

Dark Sniper is glad he weighed his options carefully and made th...

This is the perfect moment for Sony Computer Entertainment to strike the killing blow early in this 8th generation console war. By acquiring Capcom, all of their major franchises will return exclusively to the PlayStation®4 Home Entertainment Portal. Which would bring a full return to the way PlayStation gaming was during the years PS1 and PS2 dominance.

The significance of Capcom cannot be underestimated. If Sony manages to acquire them, other 3rd party developers ...

With technology pacing forward at a rapid pace, the common gamer is always on the go. Making an internet connection required for all next generation Xbox consoles would be an idiotic, boneheaded yet expected tact from Microsoft. This wouldn't be the first. Decisions like this has haunted them in the past and is a core reason why they are in third place this current generation.

If you wanted to bring your new Xbox to a friends house, or you're directing a competitive,...

Finally. After 7 GLORIOUS years of console dominance, next gen has finally begun. As most of you already know, Dark Sniper has vehemently supported the best that interactive electronics has to offer. Closing in on the 20th anniversary of PlayStation, we are now at the beginning of a new era in technology and in our daily lives.

Sony has been instrumental every step of the way in providing Dark Sniper memories from his childhood up to this very day. The reason being is b...

Nintendo has historically been in the game for decades. Therefore it can be stated with confidence that they are veterans in the industry. For the sake of politics, Dark Sniper will withhold his personal opinion of the Wii U for now. But he wishes Nintendo well, because they will need it.

However, Sony Computer Entertainment will continue to do what they have always done, which is innovate beyond the human imagination and push the envelope to broaden the gaming industry to ...

Nintendo has made their landmark in gaming history in many different aspects.

Nintendo Power holds a strong nostalgic memory to Dark Sniper's magazine collection. Especially during the years 1985-1994 B.P., when Super NES and NES released titles that all audiences could enjoy. 1995 was the beginning of Nintendo Power's demise.

To witness the news of Nintendo Power's untimely ending reassures Dark Sniper that all good things must come to an end fo...

Dark Sniper couldn't have said it any better himself. Well said.

PlayStation is the worldwide leader in consumer electronics. With over 300 million consoles sold since 1994, PlayStation is the brand synonymous with video games. Making it a household name across all families and friends across the globe.

PlayStation®3 is enjoying the stretch run of being the sole strength and support of this current generation. Ken Kutaragi chose stability and longe...

There is absolutely no question as to who won. When it comes to quality exclusive content, online interactivity, reliability, and brand recognition PlayStation®3 is the undisputed champ this generation.

What we have witnessed is the first three-peat in gaming history. Since the mid 90's Sony Computer Entertainment have dominated the industry by providing the consumers the richest content that has never been duplicated.

This generation, Sony Computer...

The future of PlayStation is definitely a bright one ahead. However, this has been well planned and was thoroughly discussed at the beginning of the PS3's tenure in the market. What this shows is Sony Computer Entertainment's dedication to quality over quantity and substance over gimmicks. This is why PlayStation has been the leading brand in interactive gaming since 1995.

From the very beginning, Sony has committed themselves to a 10 year product lifecycle which e...

This is pretentious and false news from the writer of this article. While he is subject to his own opinion, Dark Sniper fails to understand how one can have such a jaded and one sided view with the Sony E3 Extravaganza looming above Nintendo's head.

What we do know is that Sony will come out swinging with the best exclusives known to man across both PlayStation®3 and PlayStation®Vita platforms. Not to mention that Sony holds host to the true next generation title...

It looks as if Blizzard has done the right thing by expanding the Diablo series to new heights and proportions. Dark Sniper is ecstatic to see the multi-million selling PC franchise find a new home on the PlayStation®3 Home Entertainment Terminal.

Out of all the other competing platforms, it makes complete sense why this critically acclaimed title is exclusive to PlayStation®3. With it's ease of integration from PC to console, PS3 has held home to many diffe...

Based on the facts known, Nintendo has their next generation system releasing this year. Microsoft has a relationship with Epic Games due to their Gears Of War franchise. We also know that Microsoft is obviously working on a next-gen console as well.

What this means is that Epic Games can and probably will reach out to Sony. With the combination of Epic Games and PlayStation®4, Dark Sniper is reassured that Epic will finally be able to realize their true vision towards...

What this shows is that Solid Snake is going to appear in a fighting game that features actual fighting characters. Meaning he will be up against the likes of many characters that can give him his fair run for his money in a brawl.

Nathan Drake, Cole McGrath, Kazuya Mishima, Sephiroth are just a few characters within the PlayStation's deep roster of characters that can bring the fight in more ways than the other game can.

Shenmue III should be and is the number one most requested sequel and its for good reason. Anyone who has played the original two games on Sega Dreamcast know that Shenmue is an unfinished tale of epic proportions.

If newcomers are confused as to why Shenmue III is such a highly demanded title, all one would have to do is watch the ending of Shenmue II. For those who have played the original two games can attest to Shenmue II's ending to being one of the biggest WTF mome...
