My favourite moment came when I turned around to see Robert Ramsey's shocked expression just moments after I violently chopped an enemy into two separate pieces sending them flying across the map.
Just finished this. I'm not sure if it's because I played a lot of Max Payne 3, but I love the shooting controls! And I felt that the addition of generous checkpoints kept the difficulty from being overly punishing. What I really fell in love with though was the fantastic level design — these missions are hands down some of the most fun and visually entertaining in the series. It's also a great satire of 21st century life, even down to NSA references and teabagging.
This game is one of my most anticipated titles for the PS4. Can't wait to get my hands on it and see where the story goes.
It's good to see the Rayman engine being taken advantage of too. Hand-drawn art drools.
Loved this game. It's true that the controls can cause a bit of grief, but without the headache-inducing control scheme the final chapter of the game would be far less effective.
Well the press release says: "PS Vita TV will be available first in Japan prior to any other regions, on November 14, 2013" [http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/pdf/130909c_e.pdf] It could just be that they're referring to a release in China, but I won't be surprised to see the device appear in Western markets. It looks awesome.
I was hoping that the Vita could act as a controller and make full use of the redundant WiiU features. Seems like a missed opportunity, but I'll be getting Legends regardless. Sounds great.
Very positive patch. The match making was in dire need of a fix as did the rubber banding from the red boxes. That new gamemode is cool too. I'm glad they're adding modes that fit the universe rather than just copying the usual CoD template. Also, if this new mode is free, imagine how much content will be in the DLC.
Is this going to have crossplay on Vita? I think it's the perfect game for that. Might even buy a Vita if more games like this are released in Crossplay.
Definitely a game I've been waiting for. Looks like great fun. I get that "cross-eyed" thing from playing 'The Impossible Game' too though, but hopefully it won't be much of a problem. Nice review, Other-Simon.
I got Hearthfire because they claimed to have fixed the framerate issues. I downloaded the patch and installed the DLC and NOW I have framerate stutters. I didn't before. Although, my stutters aren't limited to boss fights; all I have to do is run. I am done with this game and the liars at Bethesda.
This would sell a next-gen system for me. Not a clue what more "dense" means though. If it is talking about detail to the environments and distance between sections, then I don't think it needs changed.

Re: TuneIn Begins Broadcasting to PS3 and Vita from This Week
I hope this makes it to the EU. Maybe other audio services will follow suit too — I'm looking at you Spotify and Stitcher!

I love Amnesia, so I'm excited to learn more about this title!

I preordered this the second I finished the demo. Good to hear that wasn't a mistake!

Re: Review: BioShock Infinite (PlayStation 3)
I guess the final act polarizes people.
However, I don't believe many people would disagree that this a spectacular game.

Re: Guerrilla Games Helped Design the PlayStation 4's Controller
Don't really want concave analogue sticks. Just something I'll have to get used to.

Re: Talking Point: How Will the PS4's Controller Change the Way That We Play?
Not sure I like the Move type motion tracking. Reeks of failure. Just like sixaxis.
