Abstract: If the PlayStation 4 is any indication of the quality of the next generation of gaming, then it was worth the wait after all. I'm writing this review seven years to the day after Sony brought the PlayStation 3 to the United States, a console I swore I wou...
Gorgeous, Compact Design, Amazing Controller, Deep Social Integration
Software Lacking Features, Hardware Underutilized
Like any launch console, the PS4 isn't perfect. The software is lacking some key functionality, the DualShock 4's more distinctive features are underutilized, and remote play is still rough around the edges. But in spite of these issues, the PS4 is an exc...

Man this is serious next-gen, and next-gen is seriously great. It goes without saying-but I'll say it anyway-that the graphics and performance on this sucker are badass. You've been seeing trailers and gameplay footage of this stuff for nigh on two years

Its big advantages over the Xbox One may be gone, but the PS4 is still an absolutely cracking console, and one that keeps getting better with every new game, app and firmware update.For many, the only real priority is beautiful 1080p gaming, and the PS4 h...
When the Sony Playstation 3 came out many saw it as Sony's attempt at gaining more buyers. The design and interface were all geared more for the masses instead of the gamers, most of whom usually buy the game console in the first place. However, for the m...
Is a game console without games still a game console?There's lots to like about the PlayStation 4: it's low-profile, runs quietly, and has a familiar but much improved controller. But right now, it just doesn't feel all that next-generation. The PlayStati...
