Swearing an oath of loyalty to PlayStation with the arrival of the PS4, our resident video-maker and Irn-Bru loving Scot prides himself as an expert in modern-day Sony. However, eight playthroughs of The Last Of Us later, and no Platinum to show for it, will forever be his greatest shame.

  • Video 30 Facts You Need to Know About The Last Of Us Remake on PS5

    Is Naughty Dog on some mighty thin ice?

    The Last Of Us: Part I is the remake from Naughty Dog that’ll bring the 2013 PS3 classic up to the technological standard of a brand new PS5 release.

  • Video 31 Facts You Need to Know About Skull and Bones on PS5

    Away to sea we go

    Skull and Bones is the lost-gestating live-service pirate sim from Ubisoft Singapore, that finally got its 2022 unveiling ahead of its release later this year. It feels pretty weird to even have a release date in sight after so many delays and reported internal reboots, but it looks like all sails are raised this time around. With...

  • Video In Defence of The Last of Us' PS5 Remake

    You really gonna go through with this?

    The Last of Us: Part I is real and some PlayStation fans are still reeling. Many feel that, given the original PS3 version is only nine years old, this is an unnecessary project. Factor in the fact that The Last of Us Remastered was ported to the PS4 just a year after the original, and this project has been...

  • Video Does Battlefield 2042 Zero Hour Revitalise the PS5, PS4 FPS?

    It may be fun, but is it enough?

    Battlefield 2042 Zero Hour is finally here after a full seven months of waiting.

This first season comes to players for free with a new map, specialist,...

  • Video Is Star Wars Battlefront 2 Worth It In 2022?

    Is the force with this one?

    It has been close to five years since the controversial Star Wars Battlefront 2 launched on PS4. Back in November 2017, all that was to be said of this fun multiplayer shooter was that it was an unbalanced mess, marred by the intrusive inclusion of microtransactions and pay to win elements. It sprouted the ongoing...

  • Video Is It Time to Leave Last-Gen Behind?

    Is the end in sight for the PS4?

    This week, players were excited to get another look at the highly anticipated Gotham Knights, which is set to release this October.

  • News Everything You Need to Know About Apex Legends Newcomer, Newcastle

    Getting Defensive

    Apex Legends is about to introduce its 21st legend in the form of Newcastle. This has been a character rumoured for the longest time, and even included in a hefty leak some months ago.

  • Video Why Prey Is Arkane's Best Game

    Even better than Dishonored?

    Prey (2017) just turned five this week, proving once more that time is a vortex. However, we saw this as a fantastic opportunity to once again remind the masses that Prey is bloody brilliant. This first-person sci-fi horror has never quite been held in the same regard to its Arkane brethren, such as Dishonored, or more...

  • Video Bloodhunt Tips and Tricks for Beginner Vampires

    Sharpen your fangs

    This week, a new battle royale joined the pack in the form of Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodhunt.

    A quiet start to the apocalypse

    Telltale’s The Walking Dead is 10 years old this week (welp!) and we’ve been reminiscing on its fantastic post-apocalyptic story.

  • Video Is Live Service Really the Way Forward for PlayStation?

    Are things always better with friends?

    Sony has always prided itself as a harbourer of high quality single player experiences. Anyone that is even remotely familiar with the word 'PlayStation' will know about the titles synonymous with it, such as The Last Of Us, God of War, and Ghost of Tsushima. However, Sony's reputation as a single-player...

  • Video How to Change PS5 Cover Plates

    Gaming with an extra dash of colour

    How do you change PS5 cover plates? The PlayStation 5 is certainly a head turner with its rather out-there design. However, more often than not it's the contrasting black and white colour scheme that rubs players the wrong way the most. Whether it's messing with your feng shui or you just didn’t like a giant...

  • Video What's Going on with The Last of Us 2's PS5, PS4 Multiplayer Mode?

    Forget Part 3, where's Factions 2?

    The Last Of Us Factions was one of the biggest multiplayer surprises to ever grace the PlayStation platform. The fact that you can still easily find filled servers on PS4 a full eight years after the The Last of Us Remastered launched on the PS4 is a testament to its unique fusion of traditional multiplayer and...
