Michael Pachter made waves again this week as he said that Sony’s cloud gaming service, PlayStation Now, “Is a joke” and “This has no prayer of working.” Harsh.

PS4 vs Xbox One. To be perfectly honest, I don’t get console wars. They have been ongoing ever since I can remember but the most prevalent of any of these wars is the battle between the PS3 and the Xbox 360.

In many ways Capcom defined the survival horror genre with their flagship series Resident Evil. The story and gameplay style was unique and refreshing in a time when 3d platformers where the order of the day.

Horror games can only function in a single player game since things are only scary when you are alone. If you are ever play a game you know it is more fun to play with a friend but you also know it is less scary since you and your friend will make jokes and talk throughout it.

The ground combat has gotten better since release and also the space combat is as fun as ever. The customisation is phenomenal. Any Trekkie needs this. We’ve come a long way since Star Trek Online first launched in Feb...
