Playstation 4

PlayStation 4

The PlayStation 4 is the ‘gamer’s console’. Coming in at 40-50% more powerful than the Xbox One, the multi-platform performance is already visibly better on the PS4. We were surprised by the quality of the DualShock 4 Controller. With additional features like live streaming, and a very responsive dashboard, the PS4 raises the bar for what it means to be a gaming console. Throw in the discounts and free games on the PS+, there is no question about the value of owning a PS4.

Knack

Knack feels like a throwback to classic platform brawlers of the early PlayStation era. Run through several missions along, or with a friend, as the title character Knack, who is trying to discover his own origins and the secrets of the powerful artifacts that power all of the world’s technology. Along the way collect more pieces to increase Knack’s size until you eventually tower over foes who once gave you pause. Knack learns to combine different kinds of objects to help in his quest and provide him with new abilities, like Stealth Knack who is made up of see-through crystals and can pass through security fields unnoticed!

   Killzone Shadow Fall

Killzone Shadow Fall

The latest game in the Killzone series and one of the best-looking next generation games. Play through an interesting single-player campaign which has you cross the planetary wall diving Vekta from New Helghan while trying to take down those who threaten the destruction of both races. Fantastic gunplay, weapons and a new OWL drone make the campaign shine. When you’re ready to take things online you can hop into the Warzone game mode, which offers great play variety, and pick one of three unique classes that each feature unique battlefield abilities.

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag

AC4: Black Flag offers a vast range of gameplay options. Black Flag Features the traditional Assassin’s Creed style roof-jumping, counter-attack finishing moves, and stealth all in a diverse Caribbean setting befitting a pirate theme. From well-established Spanish Villas to island towns built on stilts, there’s never a lack of new areas to explore. What makes Black Flag one of the best games this year, however, is the ability to sail throughout the ocean. Attack civilian vessels, sink military frigates, board enemy ships, and sailing through hurricane storms — it’s all there in one fantastic game!

PlayStation Vita

The PlayStation Vita makes a great companion device for the PS4. Remote Play allows you to take control of your PS4 and view the games directly on the Vita. Many games even have completely custom control schemes for the Vita, giving the impression that this wasn’t an afterthought. Some games are even planning or already utilizing the Vita for second-screen gaming.
