I have finally returned. It's been a while. Over a year I believe. I have been away for too long.  I have been trying and failing to get my life together and chase and catch my dreams. But enough of the sad stuff. Let's get back to what we all love to talk about GAMES! So, Early in the year I went to the Nintendo Switch Premiere Event at Earl's Court. Eagerly waiting to play the Nintendo Switch for the first time.  ARMS was very popular. The line to wait to play was never-ending. I destroyed a few people on Ultra Street Fighter 2.  The Switch in all it's glory.  I got to play FAST RMX. Very good showcase of the Switch's abilities.  So more ARMS.  The line for Zelda: Breath of the Wild was so long. I never got to play it. It was a very busy morning.  As you can see from my terrible photography. It was busy but fun. After I left the event. I felt so excited for the Switch and couldn't wait to buy one. But, wh...

So, I was just watching some videos on Youtube related to Nintendo and in particualar, the NX and I stumbled across a this video. It's a brand new channel, by me. Please help a playa out and support me!  I just wanted to share this video but I have plenty more on the channel and more incoming. Please, Subscribe, Share and Like. PLAYA OUT! What do you think? Let me know what you think about the potential of the NX. Sound off in the comments!

I said I would try to upload and post more videos. This is part of that promise. I have more than one Battlefield video for you today. Check out both videos below. Enjoy! Make sure you let me know your thoughts on the videos in the comments below!

I've been playing Dragon Age Inquisition for a little while. I finally decided to upload some gameplay. I think this game is great. But, I feel that Bayonetta 2 should have been Game of the Year instead of this. That is just my personal opinion. Anyway, enjoy the video. If you can't see the video. Click here.  I will upload more Dragon Age videos in the future. So make sure to look out for those. In the meantime, Hit me up in the comments and let me know what you think!

Well, as the title suggests, I have some Battlefield gameplay for you. This video is taken from the Battlefield Hardline BETA. Enjoy! If you can't see the video. Click here. I am sorry for the delay in uploading and posting these videos.  I have just been so busy with other projects. Make sure you hit me up in the comments with your thoughts on the video! And if you want to add me on PSN. My PSN name is Otakuhitman.

Here's a short video of one of my favourite games on the PS4. It's an Indie title called Transistor. The gameplay is not taken from the story mode so it shouldn't spoil it for you. If you have the chance to play this game if you haven't already, give it a go. If you can't see the video. Try here. Let me know what you think in the comments below!

So, a recent story that has been very popular for many different reasons, none other than the Sony hacking issue was going to be a big topic I was going to write a two part post about. But, it became too complex and I didn't see the point in posting a puzzle for you to have to decipher. So, instead I am going to condense the article into one post looking back at what happened and my take on it all. This should be posted tomorrow. So look out for it then. In the meantime, check out the rest of the blog and my YouTube Channel. I think I'll upload some PS4 gameplay since PSN is back now! That's all for now folks! Catch you tomorrow!

I said I would upload some gameplay. I am here to deliver.  I give you. Destiny. I don't think I am particularly great at the game. But if you have a PS4 and would like to have a game or two. Add me. my PSN is: Otakuhitman. 

I have been away for quite a while. I'm sorry about that. However, there was a valid reason. This was my final year of University and I had to write my dissertation. It was very time consuming. So, I didn't have time to write any posts. The dissertation is now complete so I have loads of free time. This is the first post I've done in a while and I thought I would make it a bit special. So, I have uploaded some of my own gameplay from my own PS4, of Infamous Second Son . Before you even begin to panic, there are no spoilers in the video. I used a combination of techniques to get this video onto YouTube. First, I used the Share Factory app on the PS4 to edit the video and then I copied the file from the PS4's capture gallery onto a USB and then I uploaded the file from the USB onto YouTube. So, no need for  Twitch or Ustream account anymore or Facebook video uploading!! Anyway, I'm glad to be back. Any thoughts on Infamous? Let me know in the comments!

Assassin's Creed is a franchise that I have been following ever since the first game was released. I own every Creed game. I have really enjoyed the franchise, but I have to say that it is getting a bit fatigued now and it's beginning to show. Let me just say this before you ask. My favourite Assassin's Creed game is easily Assassin's Creed 2. It was just perfect. The setting was great, the characters were interesting and likeable and it had Leonardo Da Vinci in it. I thought that after the awesomeness of that game, the franchise could only get better. It did not get better. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood was a great game, but it didn't quite fill me with the same sense of enjoyment that its predecessor did. This trend continued with Revelations. I think Revelations was the beginning of the true decline. The story felt rushed and never really answered the questions it claimed it would. The only thing that I loved about Revelations was the E3 trailer that in...

I tried squinting like him ... it didn't work. I can't see it! It just looks the same to me! What's all the fuss about?! At this point you are probably wondering what I'm talking about. Well, wonder no more! I am talking about fps or Frames Per Second and also 720/1080p. Recently there has been a lot of talk about these two things in relation to gaming, especially with the next generation fast approaching on the horizon. The reason I feel a bit lost in the subject is because I can't see it. Some people make a big deal out of it and begin to complain about certain games not running at native 1080p and 60fps (whatever that means). Me on the other hand, when I start playing a game on my Wii U or 360 I don't think about fps or HD. I think about having fun. It's the same argument I always make . What difference does fps and HD make if the game sucks? That's right, none. The game would still suck. I think some people just want to take the fun out of...

When I think of free things I think of the best things namely, food. But now, the games industry has ruined the idea of free things. They have created this evil scheme to lure gamers into thinking that they are getting a great deal when in fact, gamers are being deceived. There are many games that take this deceptive approach. As Iwata of Nintendo said recently said, it's not free-to-play, it's free-to-start. This is something that I have found when I downloaded the free games on my PS4. You can read more about my PS4 experience  here. One of the worst culprits I have encountered so far has to be Blacklight: Retribution. I have a love/hate relationship with this game. I have to start by saying, I actually like this game and I understand that the PS4 version is in a BETA stage. I don't really play FPS games anymore. I used to play CoD, but I got tired of its repetitive nature. That being said, I downloaded Blacklight for two reasons: 1. It was free...

The day has finally arrived. I now have a PS4 in my possession. I think I got a great deal. As you can see in the picture. I got the PS4, Man of Steel  and Despicable Me 2 on Blu-Ray, Assassin's Creed 4 and One Year membership to PS+. All for £425. I'm not going to bother with explaining the unboxing or anything. Rather, I'm just going to say. The PS4 is a great console. It is very easy to use and has a very attractive design. I chose it over the Xbox One not because of a bias or preference towards Sony. I chose it because it was cheaper and it attracted me more than the Xbox One. That being said, when I did play the Xbox One I enjoyed the experience and I think for anyone that buy one or has owns an Xbox One it will entertain them greatly. As you can see in the image, Assassin's Creed 4 was the only physical game I got with the console. It was either Creed 4 or FIFA 14. For me, the choice was obvious. I also downloaded the free games as part of the PS+ promotio...

This is the third instalment of this feature. It will be more of the same stuff. Here it cometh . Watchdogs-  I was really intrigued  by this game when it was revealed at E3. Last year when it was delayed so close to its original release date I had to admit I was upset. I hope Ubisoft have been using this extra time to improve the game further and make it something truly unique. Of course, only time will tell. Mirror's Edge 2-  I have to admit when this game first came out, I didn't like it. Then I played it. I loved it. I was hoping that it would get a sequel one day. Then E3 came and put my mind at rest. I can't wait to see what the PS4/X1 and their power create in terms of beautiful gameplay. Dying Light- I think this game is shaping up to be a great looking game. Combining zombies and mirror's edge type gameplay with a focus on survival. I think this is going to be a definite purchase.  Dragon Age 3- I know Dragon A...

This is the second part of the things I am looking forward to this year. SO, without further ado. LET'S BEGIN! Bayonetta 2-   When I heard this was announced for Wii U. My jaw hit the floor. When that was followed up with the news that it was exclusive to Wii U. I couldn't contain my joy. I loved the first game and I can't wait to play this. If you can't see the video click  here. Hyrule Warriors-   When I heard about this game I didn't know what to think. Dynasty Warriors + Zelda =? But, then I watched the teaser and my mind was set at ease. This seems like such a good idea, I can't believe it hasn't been done already. I think this is going to be very interesting. If you can't see the video click  here. The Order 1886-  This game appeals to me on various levels. Firstly, it's set in London (My hometown). It's a third person action/shooter like Mass Effect. One of my favorite games. Also, it has a Steamp...

So, it's 2014. A lot of great things are coming this year. In this post I want to highlight a few things that I will be looking forward to in the new year... The Amazing Spiderman 2   -   I am really looking forward to this. I really loved the first film and I think this new film shows a lot of promise. I was a little bit worried about there being too many villains but, this trailer sort of set my mind at rest. With the news that these films will lead to a Venom and Sinister Six spin-offs. I am even more excited to see what happens with the Amazing Spiderman. If you can't see the video click  here. Captain America: The Winter Solider-     Captain America returns! I loved the way the first film introduced Steve Rogers and I can't wait to see what Cap is upto  after the Battle for New York. If you can't see the video click  here. Guardians of the Galaxy-  This is the film I'm looking forward to the ...

It's having a few teething problems. I'm sure you're all aware by now of the Four, yes only four know reports (so far) of issues with the PS4. Most of them are reporting problems with the console not connecting to the TV or not working or functioning in anyway. Funnily enough, I'm not surprised. These things always happen in the launch period. Not so much with Nintendo in my experience but Microsoft and Sony seem to have these teething problems with the launch of all of their consoles.  The most important thing now, is that Sony fix this problem fast. Before it begins to occur more. You can check this link out to read more on this issue. So, after this news are you reconsidering getting the PS4 at launch? Will you get one at a later date? Have you been discouraged from getting one all together? Let me know!!!

My brother sent me this link this morning concerning Sony and the PS4. I don't really know what to think of it. Apparently Sony has said that customers will still be able to resell games as originally intended. As IGN reported. Which you can read here. What do you think? Let me know!

The one and only version of the 360 I ever bought. After five years. My Xbox 360 (the only one I've ever bought because it's never broken) is on it's way out. It's not broken or anything, it's just going to be retired from active service. Next month I will get the PS4 and I already have a Wii U. So I don't really see much need in my 360 anymore because the Wii U and PS4 can perform all the functions that my 360 currently performs. However, I intend on keeping the console and adding it to my collection of previous generations of consoles. I feel a little bit sad that I've spent so much time and money on it and I've had so many joyous hours in return. But as with all good things, they must come to an end. What are your plans for the upcoming next gen? Are you going to be trade, trash or keep your old console? I'd love to hear your opinion, hit me up in the comments!

This picture says it all.  I regret to inform you all that after much deliberation and thought. I have decided to cancel my pre-order for the PS4. This is due mostly to the fact that I am in my final year of University and I need to focus on finishing it and getting all of the work done (there is a lot of work to do). So with that, I thought to myself that if I got the PS4 next month, I would most certainly fail this year because I would be so busy playing PS4. Not to mention, last week I found out that the past two years don't count for anything, so I really need to make sure I pass. But in the new year, I will get PS4. I just wanted to say this so that when it is released and you are all wondering why I haven't posted anything about it. This is the reason why.
