Unless you're as competitive as a heavyweight boxer, playing online can be extraordinarily frustrating at times. There'll always be someone out there that's spent that little bit longer learning the intricacies of Call of Duty's maps or the ins-and-outs of FIFA's five star teams, and so you'll inevitably slump to regular defeats. The upshot...

Feature What Are January 2015's Free PlayStation Plus Games?
Happy new year
And that, as they say, is the end of that. The past twelve months have been impressive for PlayStation Plus, with Sony giving away over $1,300 worth of software. However, the premium subscription service did come under fire at some points in 2014, primarily due to the emphasis on some less than stellar indie titles. It looks like the...

Feature Did PlayStation Plus Represent Value for Money in 2014?
Play more, pay less
In hindsight, we suppose that Sony’s strategy with PlayStation Plus was a little cunning. When the platform holder rolled out its subscription service several years ago, it was billed as an optional extra for PlayStation 3 owners – a mere means for members to secure a pocketful of freebies for a nominal fee. As the years...

Christmas cheer
Thanksgiving is right around the corner for our American readers, but we suspect that the quality of December’s forthcoming PlayStation Plus update will determine just how thankful we’re all feeling come tomorrow morning.

Deadly Premonition, Titan Attacks, and more up for grabs
