Possible Xbox Sale Still Under Review Over at Microsoft

by Jonathan Nolan | May 6, 2014 | 0 comments

What would happen to the PlayStation brand if the biggest competitor was sold off?

It’s still under review, apparently. You may remember in the past year that Microsoft’s then-CEO Steve Ballmer announced his retirement. It led to a wide net of people being considered to succeed him in the job, including former Nokia CEO Stephen Elop, who didn’t seem that enamoured by the Xbox division.

The new CEO Satya Nadella is in place and is making changes. But just how far could those changes go? Microsoft founder and second largest shareholder, Bill Gates, recently said in an interview that he would “absolutely” support the sale of the Xbox division – if Nadella decided to do it.

My my, there isn’t much love at home for the Xbox business…

Over a Dozen New Indie Titles Coming to PlayStation 4, Vita

by Brien Bell | May 4, 2014 | 2 comments

The calendar has flipped over to May–though who really flips calendar pages anymore–and it’s getting closer to E3 2014, held at the Los Angeles Convention Center from June 10 to 12. The expo, home to big announcements and even larger hype, is sure to be a showcase for some big unannounced games for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and maybe even the PlayStation 3, hopefully of the AAA variety. But last year Sony made some noise when they spent several minutes highlighting great indie titles that would be coming to the PS4, spearheaded by PlayStation VP of Third Party Development Adam Boyes. Since last June, it seems like a new independent developer is announcing that they will be coming to PlayStation devices every week — and this week, twelve of them made it public at the same time.

At Sony Computer Entertainment America’s headquarters in Foster City, CA on Wednesday, Boyes and the developer relations team unveiled a dozen indie titles that will be making their console debut on the PS4, PS3, or PS Vita, and each developer had a little something to say over on the official PlayStation Blog. You can find a wrap up showcasing each of the titles right here, but after the break check out some trailers and screenshots for these big little games, as well as some info straight from the devs themselves.

by Sohrab Osati | Apr 16, 2014 | 3 comments

Unveiled at CES 2014, PlayStation Now is a streaming services that can bring PlayStation 3 titles to the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4. Think Netflix for gaming. At the time of its unveiling, we were able to get our hands on the PS Vita and stream God of War: Ascension to the powerful handheld without a hitch. It’s expected that Sony will officially release the cloud-based service at E3 2014. While at the time, Sony was only talking about PlayStation Now for the PS4 and PS Vita, the company made it clear that the service would expand beyond gaming consoles and onto televisions, smartphones, and tablets. Today, Sony takes the first big step to bring PS3 titles to a entirely new market and reach beyond the core gaming enthusiast.

PlayStation Store Update (4-15-14)

Welcome to the PlayStation Store update for April 15th, 2014. While you won’t find anything as shocking as the AA airline tweet here from the other day, this weeks PlayStation Store update does have a host of goodies which include the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on the PlayStation 4 and Dead Nation for the PlayStation Vita.

As a side note, seeing how MMORPG’s require a monthly subscription, it’s never made sense to me that publishers can charge for the game still. Luckily FF14 comes at a discount with the normal edition $59.99 and a collector’s edition for $59.99. As you guessed, details are all after the jump.

by Sohrab Osati | Apr 9, 2014 | 0 comments

It’s been no secret that PlayStation and Naughty Dog had plans to bring The Last of Us to the PlayStation 4. When the game was originally delayed by a few months, many assumed that it was due to a shift in development and that the title would in fact come out for the PlayStation 4. While that did’t pan out, The Last of Us is now headed to the PS4 with development having begun directly after the PS3 title was released. Now let’s talk details about The Last of Us Remastered, which is being handled in house by Naughty Dog.

Welcome to the PlayStation Store update for April 8, 2014. We have a great update this week packed full of new content and sales. The PlayStation 4 receives several titles this week including Strike Suit Zero: Director’s Cut (look for our review soon!) and Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.

Continuing the success of previous titles, LEGO: The Hobbit comes to all three systems today. Bigby continues to unravel the mystery as The Wolf Among Us Episode 3: A Crooked Mile comes to the PlayStation 3 today. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 also comes to the PlayStation 3 today as a PlayStation 2 Classic. This game is currently available in enhanced form as Persona 4: Golden for the PlayStation Vita and I highly recommend you play it on that platform. However, if that is not an option, you owe to yourself to pick up the PlayStation 2 Classic version as the game is fantastic.

Finally, PlayStation Plus users will be receiving Stealth Inc: A Clone in the Dark (PS3/PS Vita Cross-Buy) for free along with many discounts on several games. Keep reading to see a complete list of content available on the PlayStation Store this week!

Should You Buy ‘Deception IV: Blood Ties?’ (PS3/PS Vita)

by Trevor Rodenberger | Mar 30, 2014 | 0 comments

I have been a fan of the Deception franchise since Tecmo’s Deception: Invitation to Darkness released for the original PlayStation in 1996. In that game you play as a servant of the devil and are tasked with defending ‘The Castle of the Damned’ from all manner of heroes and adventurers who are unfortunate enough to enter. The gameplay was in the 1st person perspective and to defeat the enemies the player had to set traps to either stun, kill, or capture the intruders. My preteen self enjoyed the dark story and unique (at-the-time) concept of playing as the ‘bad guy’. Fast forward to today and it has been 9 years since the last Deception game. This week Deception IV: Blood Ties released here in the United States and became the newest entry in the franchise. Does Deception IV: Blood Ties stack up to its predecessors?
