PlayStation 4: What Sony Needs to win the Next Console Generation

Sony’s next console may very well be 2 or more years away but as rumors are starting to swirl about Microsoft’s new console I thought it would be an ideal time to ponder what Sony needs to do in order to prevent the type of lackluster start that mired the PS3.  The PS3 has struggled to recoup the ground it lost to the XBox360 with its year late start and six hundred dollar price tag.  The XBox360 has dominated in North America and, even though the PS3 has been making quite the comeback, sold ridiculous numbers just this winter holiday season.  Sony then has a few lessons to learn on and since they are being extremely tight lipped on Playstation 4 details, this article is merely speculating on what I think would help Sony succeed. 

Lollipop Chainsaw has retailer pre-order skins

Continuing with the oh-so-wonderful (yes that was sarcasm) trend of retailer specific pre-order bonuses; Lollipop Chainsaw is now joining what seems like most other studios in making extra game content exclusive to wherever you purchase from.

Soul Calibur 5: Review

I am no fighting game aficionado so when I say Soul Calibur is the best fighting game series in existence you’ll have to keep in mind that I’m not the sort of person who can remember elaborate combos or who counts frames or thinks about things like what counter is best for what attack.

PSN will go down for Maintenance Tomorrow.

Playstation Network will be undergoing scheduled maintenance tomorrow until Friday, so don’t panic and assume the worst has happened when you can’t log in. This will not affect trophies as they will sync up as usual (as if you had been playing offline) when Playstation Network comes online again this coming Friday at 7 a.m. GMT.

Welcome to the First Week of the Rest of Your Life

To say that 2012 has been pretty bare on the release front would be quite the understatement.  While there has been some DLC and a few interesting titles released, the release front has been a little barren. 

But do not fret my friends, because this week, we are blessed with the release of three big titles, which come in the forms of Soul Calibur V, NeverDead, and Final Fantasy XIII-2. 

Sony Announces Special 3G/WiFi Vita Bundle

With a little less than a month to go before the PlayStation Vita goes on sale in North America and Europe, Sony has decided to sweeten the pot for consumers.  An “extremely limited edition” 3G/Wifi bundle will be available on launch day, February 22nd.  The bundle will include a 3G/WiFi capable PS Vita, 8GB memory card, AT&T Data Connect Pass, and a PSN game for $299.

Digital High Episode 25

Good news for anyone that still hates Microsoft Points this week because it looks as though by the end of this year, they will no longer exist. Rumour has it that Microsoft will be going the rout of PSN and just charging money instead of buying points at pre-determined amounts. There is also going to be another Neo Geo console released in the form of a handheld with games built right in, Saints Row 3 ships almost 4 million copies and gaming companies are still continuing to rip each other off. Don’t worry, it’s nearly February, so we should have better news and new games to talke about soon!
