I want to use my imagination again!

17d ago ... We have lost appreciation for good art design and graphical fidelity along with the ability to enjoy a great story time and time again. I sat at home today and played through another round of Final Fantasy XIII-2 and realized at that instant we have reached a point where graphics are no longer the determining factor in games. As I sit in awe at “Academia -500 AF”, which is one of the final loca...

Opinion: We Run the Risk of Visual Stagnation

21d ago ... So far, the most we've seen from next generation graphics is primarily from Sony's Playstation 4 reveal event. We've seen the machine supposedly running game engines that look pretty close to CGI visuals that you would sometimes see in an animated movie. Technologically speaking, it's pretty cool. It certainly has many Sony fans excited, with many wondering where that leaves the upcoming new Xb...

What if the third Xbox doesn’t release this year?

26d ago ... Asking a ‘what if’ question is of course just a form of speculation but, as far as we know, the Xbox 3 might not make it out this year, the possibility exists is what I’m saying. The thought first occurred to me after observing the silence Microsoft has cast around their next gen efforts after the PS4 reveal. I wondered if maybe they saw what Sony had to offer and changed their plans in an ef...

Nintendo Has Most Certainly Won The Next Generation

26d ago ... Nintendo, the creators of the game industry have already won this new generation with the Wii U. With its clearly vast library of games and incredible exclusives like Halo 5, Final Fantasy XVII, Uncharted 7 and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 8, it has already bested the test of time and has shown us what a next gen system is truly capable of, rendering the upcoming Nextbox and PS4 obsolete and dea...

Upcoming current generation games I am excited about

26d ago ... 2013 has provided some great gaming experiences. Games like Dead Space 3, Tomb Raider, Gears of War, God of War, Bioschock and Crysis 3 showcase there is still a lot of life left with the current gen systems. This year is off to a great start and there has not been any shortage of good gaming experiences. As this year is already 4 months in and with next generation systems on the horizon....

Top ten reasons why this was the best generation ever.

30d ago ... Next Gen is almost here but before we move on to the next one lets recap gaming's awesome accomplishments this gen. This is the stuff that made MS, Sony and Nintendo who they are today. In no particular order. 1. In the beginning there was light...a red light. Remember when the Xbox 360 came out? Yeah.. that. It was a mess, the red ring of death was like a plague killing gamer's consoles li...

Preparing for the next generation!

31d ago ... Do you think you just have to buy a PS4 or Xbox 720 to enjoy the next generation of gaming to its fullest? Well that might not be so simple. Lets start out with the HDMI. HDMI is the connector that the next generation consoles will have. It is very common today and all HD tv:s and most graphics cards has this port. The problem is however, if you bought a Full HD-TV (1920x1080 resolution) a f...

Three things Microsoft can do for their Next-Gen Xbox

46d ago ... Amidst all the rumors and speculation regarding Microsoft's next generation gaming console, their success with the Xbox 360 is nothing short of a milestone achievement for the Redmond company, especially when compared to their initial entrance into the console gaming market with the original Xbox. Being the first console to launch the seventh generation back in 2005, Microsoft were primed an...

Generation differences at first glance.

52d ago ... With the announcement of the Ps4 and XBox 720 later down the line, I started wondering if the next generation of consoles are going to be that much better. What does the future hold for these consoles and what are they seeking to achieve within their generation? What will be so different about them in comparison to what we have now? Taking a step back and looking at the current generation, t...

Next Generation Gaming.. Seriously ? I'm still playing catch up .

56d ago ... So the next Gen race has started... well in a sense. Sony kicked it off with a display of eye candy in the form of "next gen" games which in my opinion looked like High quality FMV sequences. But where the hell was the actual hardware..? All that money spent on a glitzy piss up which in fairness didn’t really give all that much away other than the fact were getting a new Dual Shock with a...

Do Nintendo need to change their business model?

59d ago ... A lot of debating (see bickering) has been going on around the interwebs these past months in regards to Nintendo's new console the Wii U, Im not about to "debate" whether or not their new console is next gen, but I will say that it is inarguably Nintendo's next generation console, if you get my meaning. A great many gamers believe Nintendo to be in trouble and feel that they are inevitably...

The games industry: Pushing consumers toward breaking point

65d ago ... I honestly believe as gamers we enjoy the best hobby available, video games. Games, unlike most other forms of entertainment are capable of providing us with a combination of other great forms of entertainment, such as the cinematic experience of movies, the emotional depth and subtle sub text of music and the gripping plot lines, characters and unique worlds of classic story telling. The...

Satire: My faith renewed in Sony.

67d ago ... As some of you may be aware, the other day I committed one of gaming's cardinal sins, and for this I am truly sorry. For I did dare bring up the lack of native BC (backwards compatibility) in regards to Sony's next generation console the PS4, as a negative. Gaming's lord and saviour, the all mighty PS4, the 4th incarnation of our one and only true home gaming console, it is of course beyo...

What truly defines "Next Gen" and why it may not be what people expect it to be.

72d ago ... With a fairly in depth reveal of Sony's Playstation 4 console recently, and the all but certain reveal of Microsoft's rival next gen console due to be shown in April, the topic of "next generation" gaming is well and truly at a head. With gamers and tech geeks alike climbing the walls in anticipation for full reveals at E3 and inevitable Christmas launch windows when we can finally get our hand...

The Nintendo Wii U Doom and Gloom Needs To Stop.

76d ago ... It all seems so familiar. Feels like yesterday, everyone, the major gaming media sites, bloggers, and even gamers were saying a certain console was doomed to fail, and the company that released that console wouldn't survive this generation. Flash forward to 2013. That same company has sold over 70 million consoles, has an impressive number of high quality games, and have announced a next gen...

Next-gen? Stop doodling and do your homework!

80d ago ... It was back in 2010 when Nintendo showed off the 3DS that I thought to myself "Goodness, I'm sick of this nonsense. Can we just get back to the games?" No, hang on a second. It was the year before, when PS Move and "Natal" (Kinect) were both showcased that I began to get sick of the game industry's hardware obsession. Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft were all going down a dark path...a path tha...

What I'd like to see out of Fallout 4

81d ago ... As most may have already heard, word through the grapevine is that Fallout 4 is likely to be taking place in Boston. Boston MA, home of Fenway Park, JFK library, and Oh yeah... The Commonwealth. Which means only one thing children; tech. We're talking about more robobrains, plasma pistols, and gauss rifles than you can shake a chrome-plated stick at. And let's not forget our loveable cyborg fri...
