With the news of the the next Deus Ex title (Mankind Divided) being 4th Gen (7th?) only, I made the leap and picked up a PS4 this weekend; together with GTAV, and Bloodborne So why a PS4? I’m a long time Sony fanboy, even though I’ve prefered xbox live over the years to the PLaystation offering. Games I wanna play only available on the Playstation Platform: Bloodborne Final Fantasy Street…
This for me is the Next Gen war over, how can the XBONE triumph over this? Given the track record to date with SFIV on the PC, and poor connection issues, it looks like I will be picking up a PS4… pity my fightstick is for the XBOX 🙁 This truly looks like a work of art, and moves so fast, I’m eager to play!

Couple of hours into Dragon Age Inquisition, first thoughts: easy on the eyes, except some pop up of details more like Diablo than Skyrim upset that my created character looks more like Michael Jackson than Galadriel like the battle overview the player characters flesh out the experience

I love this time of year for the great releases, although I have no time to play all, let alone review them 🙂 Since COD: Advanced Warfare here’s what has been running on my machines: Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 I had romantic memories of when PES6 was by far the best football game on the XBOX. This crown is now well beyond Konomai’s reach, sitting snuggly on EA’s FIFA mullet.…

2 divergent launch titles for this weekend, and I have other geek projects that I want to devote time to… but first the games! So the first xbox title is the long awaited first in the new series, Activision’s Call of Duty Advanced Warfare. I loved the campaigns of Modern Warfare, more than Treyarch’s Black Ops, plus in this version I’ve heard there are Zombie’s. Call of Duty Advanced Warfare…

After a day of racing cars around virtual tracks on the xbox I needed something a little different, so today I have the pleasure of playing 2 diverse Japanese titles: Natural Doctrine Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn I’ve heard nothing of either, so looking forward to hopefully a pleasant surprise. Natural Doctrine cheesy lines galore, with disjointed conversations, and not a clue what the plot may be with usual JPRG character…

Time to finish off some stories, before the pre xmas launch fest. There are a few on my list, I may not get through them all this weekend 😉 Here’s my list, in no particular order: Wolfenstein: The New Order An amazing story with cool nods back to the original, everything a FPS should be, with no gimmicks. [Rating: 4.5] The Last of Us Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Valiant…

I really enjoyed the previous installment of Far Cry. One of the few games, together with GTAV, and Tomb Raider, that have been compelliing enough to complete the story lines. Saying that, I’m making good progress into Diablo III, and I must go back and finish The Last of US, and Wolfenstein… anyway I digress, allow me to introduce you to Kyrat An introduction to the Lowlands of Kyrat. This…

Here’s footage of the future version of Ultra Street Fighter 4, the Omega edition! According to this post on Eventhub it’s intended more for fun, than a balanced release… and it does certainly look fun, and will be free 🙂 This will be released in October, together with the v1.04 update: This blog entry also states that a new patch is heading our way in October. The v1.04 update will…

Finally had the chance to pick up Destiny, and went for the PS3 option. This was solely driven by the next gen console I’m more likely to pick up will be a Sony I’m going through the modern age frustration of transferring game content, installing, downloading updates, launch patches, and a compatibility pack. I had to burn my GTAV installation, to free up space. Hopefully not something I’ll regret, as…

I think I’ve posted this sentiment before, as the remake of Shadow of the Collosus was my motivation to pick up a PS3, I think The Last Guardian will be the catalyst for me to purchase a PS4. Although it seems like 2014 won’t be the year, unless Rockstar release GTAV on the next gen platform 🙂 Kataku Report: The Last Guardian Won’t Be at the Tokyo Game Show Are…

Started playing the Ubisoft xbox live version of Valiant Hearts: The Great War. I’m enjoying the easy pace, simple puzzles and challenges, and brief history of The Great War. From the wiki Valiant Hearts: The Great War is a puzzle adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and published by Ubisoft. The game is inspired by letters written during the Great War and has four characters on the battlefield help…

So I’m asking myself this question: Is what is on a purchased disc your own? I recently booted up Street Fighter x Tekken, while working through my fighting games, and promptly remembered that half the characters are missing. Don’t get me wrong, they’re there on the roster… just not playable! Usually this is a eh oh moment… but in this instant I couldn’t play Blanka! WTF is a Street Fighter…

Started playing the Lego Movie Xbox 360 game, and it didn’t dissappoint 🙂 It follows the plot of the film scenes, and is heaps of fun. Will I finish it? Perhaps not. I’ve not enjoyed a Lego title to completion, after the Star Wars release… but stranger things happen [Rating: 3]

PS3 Multiman 4.60 available, support for 4.60 CFW! This wasn’t enough to get your latest games working? Here’s the PS3 4.60 Spoof enabler Great work guys… although not sure what they’re actually used for? 😉

I recieved a Sanwa octaganol plate for my my Madcatz Fightstick Pro today, from an Ebay purchase. Not sure of how it will change my Street Fighter game play, but I am keen to give it a try 🙂 One issue, I can’t get the back plate off of the joystick to fit it 🙂

I paid for the Street Fighter Ultra costumes. I feel like I validated the pay to play Capcom business model, but I don’t regret it for a minute:

Shit, I’ve just purchased the last Ultra iteration… but I’m still excited by the prospect of Street Fighter V coming to PS4 and Xbone 🙂 Excerpt from EventHubs, info courtesy of sponichi Updated: Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono addressed Sports Nippon’s report today and said that the “pay to win model is not accurate and isn’t something we’re planning for. “Sorry for the confusion! We’re still in early planning stages and will…
I’ve been playing some version of SFIV for a while now, but today the question hit me: Whats the difference between Battle Points & Player Points? Here’s a succinct answer from a google search: PP stands for Player Points. BP stands for Battle Points. PP is essentially your overall skill as measured by the game and your wins and losses, regardless of what character you’re using. BP measures your skill…
Kotaku Australia: How You’ll Play Far Cry 4 With Friends Who Don’t Own It. This is interesting, I remember some PSP games having this function nearly 10 years ago. This way of sharing seems more about the promotion of the title, than the fun of multi player gaming. The “sender” will receive ten “Keys to Kyrat” which he can send to ten PSN “friends” of his choice. The “friend” will…
