Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II lived up to its hype as the most anticipated PS4 exclusive ever, by becoming the fastest selling exclusive title in the system. TLoU2 beats out the former title holder Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VIIR, which sold 3.5 million units in three days. The numbers shouldn’t be surprising….

The Last of Us Part II: Violent, Dark and Cynical About Mankind
An in depth piece by GQ magazine chronicling (Director) Neil Druckmann’s struggles during the most anticipated PlayStation 4 game’s last two years of development, reveals incredible details about how Naughty Dog went above and beyond the call of duty to create a story, and characters ahead of anything seen in a video game before. Druckmann…
Days Gone (PS4) Review
I have to admit, as much as I have complained about suffering from “Open world game exhaustion” during this generation of consoles…I just keep falling back into playing these type of games. Days Gone, released in 2019 is my most recent acquisition. Another Sony exclusive, and another PS4 open world game. Days Gone was different…
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (PS4/XboxOne) Review
The greatest open world fantasy game of all time the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (at least by yours truly’s reckoning), returned in 2016, in remastered form for PS4 and XBOX ONE. It added mod support, and a minor graphical overhaul. In this review, I will answer the most important of questions regarding the game: Does…
The Top Ten Greatest Consoles of All-Time
Editor’s foreword: There are two separate rankings listed: The official ranking which is the ‘NER’ ranking, and the Personal Ranking. The entire list is mostly subjective, as quality of games and my experiences with said games are the biggest deciding factor in terms of ranking. However, the NER ranking takes many other things into consideration,…
The Order: 1886 (PS4) Review
The Order: 1886 is a third person action adventure in the vein of The Last of Us, with a heavier emphasis on Story telling. While Ready at Dawn (the developer) is known for graphically stunning PSP games, what they achieved (visually speaking) on the PS4 in 2015 remains five years later a wonderful tech showcase…
Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4) Review
Red Dead Redemption 2 was one of, if not the most anticipated games of this generation. It broke, and set, records for sales and revenues on its first weekend, and has sold over 25 million copies in less than a year since its release. For those not familiar with video game sales, those numbers are,…
Final Fantasy XV (PS4) Review
After Final Fantasy XIII I must confess that I boycotted the series. Sakaguchi’s departure left a void that remained unfilled a decade after his last game at Squaresoft; FFX. I bought FFXV at a bargain sale of used games for 9.99, meaning that my Boycott technically still stands as Square didn’t make a dime on…
God of War (PS4) Review
Let’s get this out of the way; God of War is the greatest game I have played this generation. Perhaps The eventual The Last Of Us 2 can surpass it, but it has an uphill battle to climb. The God of War’s previous 3 main console entries were excellent 9.5/10 games in their own right,…
The Witcher 3 (PS4) Review
The Witcher 3 might have been the most powerful reason that drove me to switch from the PS3/360 era to the PS4 this past holiday season. Having finished Skyrim, I wanted to experience the next great open world fantasy RPG, and The Witcher 3 provided an opportunity to do just that. The witcher 3 is…
