The Last of Us – Not a Verdict

The Last of Us – Not a Verdict

The Last of Us may be a good game. Many have declared it the greatest game ever, others have commented on its setting, its superb voice acting and the brutality that drives the plot ever onwards. And, as is becoming a frequent occurrence these days, I have an opinion on it. This is not a review however, I have not finished the game and I quite possibly never will. But I want to at least throw my grain of salt onto the scales of greatness and have my voice counted, even though it’s clearly attempting to swim against the current…

But how does the beta hold up?

The much maligned PlayStation store has finally been updated bringing a much more TV, and hopefully, user friendly design to PlayStation’s digital service. Users can get their hands on the much sleeker, and some might suggest Xbox dashboard-looking, store through a 26 MB download that has been slowly rolled out across Europe today.  The update not only makes the store look much better but also organises content in a more logical way as well as giving more focus to the…

Why are developers bringing us back a generation?

Why are developers bringing us back a generation?

In the past few years the trend for releasing classic old games in shiny new HD has risen dramatically. So too has the release of prequels to classic series like Halo and Deus Ex been on the rise. So why is the gaming industry taking us back to the start of the last generation of games? Is it a step back in development or a way to remember better times?
