Happy Xbox One release day! A lot of gamers out there, myself included, strive to get the most out of their games. So when Microsoft introduced the Achievement System back in 2005 it gave the term 100% completion a whole new meaning. Now that the Xbox One is out Microsoft have taken achievements to a whole new level. Now you can pick up Achievements just by using Xbox One Apps such as Netflix, Xbox Video player and many more. So [...]

Last week Sony revealed the next Uncharted game for PlayStation 4. Check out the teaser trailer below Even though the teaser trailer doesn’t reveal much, it appears as though that someone from Nathan Drake’s past maybe the games main antagonist. Whether this character has featured in previous Uncharted games or is someone new from Drake’s past is unclear. Personally I think we are looking at a completely new story line and maybe a new protagonist all together, as our good [...]

Contributed By CJ   A little while ago Sony unveiled the Vita TV and surprised everyone. A slice of Sony’s latest handheld which hasn’t set the world on fire sales wise, yet has an army of very passionate fans. I picked one up a few months back and have really enjoyed it. Not just for stuff like Persona 4 – which looks superb – the cross-play stuff I’ve already bought on PS3, but for those beautiful little gems from PS1 [...]

When a great game franchise is passed on to a new developer more often than not gamers usually expect the worst. Take Devil May Cry as a prime example as when it was first announced that Ninja Theory were re-booting the franchise, all hell broke loose. It even got to the point where Ninja Theory were receiving death threats from “Die Hard DMC Fans” So as you can imagine when it was first announced that Warner Bros Montreal were making [...]

Not yet owning a Wii U console, I was still quite excited to try some of the console’s offerings at this year’s EGX. Nintendo have got a fair few exclusives this generation, from their own core series, to a handful of special exclusivity deals.

  There have been quite a few games released this year that have caught my attention. Most of these are games that I have been looking at for a while, but there was one that stood out and that was Final Fantasy 14. Like Final Fantasy 11 this was an MMORPG with everything being played on a games console or a PC, which means that Final Fantasy fans can play on what they find most comfortable. I personally played a [...]
