Let's take a moment and think about this..

With games going digital, it allows the publishers to make more money because there is no need to press physical copies, ship them to retailers and have the retailers take their cut. Instead, they only have to pay a small fee to Microsoft or Sony, and they already pay that now with physical games. Not only is their profit margin higher, they may also sell more games.

Since it is more convenient, people may make i...

Forget discounts,If they want to compete with EA Access, they need to bump up the AAA Games that are on the PS Store and on PS Now. There weren't a lot of games on PS Now that interested me, especially for that price point.

Let's take a moment and think about this..

Sony, I love you, but take notes! EA Access has a lot of extras that sound great if you’re looking for a new loyalty program, that blanket 10% off digital video games will definitely save ...

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure this has been discussed at some point, but 90% of the themes are terrible on PS4. They just look really low quality. There are a few that are good: MLB, God of War, and Call of Duty AW. Asking for anything over $2 is a bit much for a theme. Hopefully we get better themes more reasonably priced or better yet custom avatars too.

I am excited for this game but I have a few problems with it. Let's take a moment and think about this...

First off, the gameplay showed in-engine (although that engine is barely formed), looked like it could have been totally automated (the "player" not being controlled by a human). I'm almost certain those animals scurrying around were put there by hand; not by algorithm. In fact, I'm pretty sure none of what was shown was actually auto-generated, but ...

As much as I love Uncharted, these articles are becoming redundant.

I love Uncharted 4 but here's my issues so far based on the latest gameplay videos:

Grass pop-in, texture pop-in, heavy cartoonish colors, repetitive dialogue (sometimes cheesy), low quality shadows, some clunky animations in parts, a lot of climbing areas his hands and feet aren't even touching what he's climbing on (looks very unrealistic), very low geometry (polygon) levels in the environments, volumetric lighting doesn't make sense in areas (especially wh...

As I said before, I love this series but the "Souls formula" is getting old and overdone. Isn't this the same website that gave Dark Souls 1 and 2 a 5/5? I love Souls games but it's time for a change. These are a few tweaks that need to happen in the future:

1. Open world
2.Stop limiting co op to boss battles and allow players to do full playthroughs with their friends.
2. Add 8v8 pvp
3. Add character development, more RPG elements an...

Street Fighter V will never be a finished product. And if you noticed, most games are being released half finished. I believe this is beneficial for the publisher and here's why:

1. This gives us more DLC
2. We are giving these companies more money which will help bring sequels faster. The gaming economy isn't what it once was. Companies can't spit out games as often because of the software development cost from today's technology.

Let's take a moment and think about this...

It’s arguable that video games breed some of the most passionate fans out of any type of media. With news, trailers, reviews, and everything else information-related in the video game world so readily available nowadays, it makes it very easy for gamers to keep up-to-date on everything about their favorite games. This is great for the consumer in many ways. It's great because it gives us an idea of our purchase before hand....

Well, according to my colleagues who've beaten the game ((Slight Spoiler Alert)):

The innovation regarding the amount of plot twists and special effects being accomplished with the game. There are also many gameplay mechanics they haven't shown in trailers mid-game that will blow you away.

I've been a PlayStation guy since day one. As a pro Sony guy, I'm very disappointed with the lackluster games we get each month. It's not worth the Ps Plus price tag. I feel Sony is getting lazy since they're the king of the Jungle this generation. Here is a list of games that should of been released already:

1. Killzone Shadow Fall
2. InFamous Second Son
3. Knack
4. Bloodborne
5. The Last of Us remastered

Let the hype begin! The reviews will defiantly be mainly 9's and 9.5's.

lets take a moment and think about this.....
If you compare meteoritic scores from last generation, you will notice that games were rated higher. This generation of games lack innovation. That's why most games have received lackluster review scores. Quantum Break is by far the most innovative game this generation according to my colleagues who have already beaten the game. I am glad to...

This is great news for gamers. It is rumored that the NX controller was inspired by the PlayStation Vita. A few colleagues of mine have already tested the controller and it is very responsive.

That's an average score. I won't be purchasing this DLC until Bethesda starts supporting mods for consoles. Console mods are the future. More developers need to support this route.

Let's take a moment and think about this....

In many ways this is actually good for gamers and here is why...
Yes, Evolution has brought us decent games but the cost Sony has spent supporting them is causing crazy amounts of debt. Instead of supporting developers that bring us mediocre games, Sony needs to staff needed devs like Media Molecule that has under 100 staff members. In my opinion, Sony needs to close most of its first party devs and only support Naugh...

Let's take a moment and think about this..

Discounted game sales are viewed among some developers as the industry's silent killer. After consumers buy games cheap instead of paying the entire $60, they return it to the store and turn it in to receive some cash back. The retailer that bought the game then puts it back on store shelves for another reduced price. When the next customer comes in and buys that game, all the revenue goes to the retailer; the developer is on...
