My life is going to be taken over by GTA V

Image
I am going to be spending a lot of time with these dudes. The only bad thing about getting GTA V next week is, that it is coming out two weeks before I go back to University. What makes it even worse is that it's going to be my third and final year! How can I concentrate on studying when I have GTA V? How I'm going to be able to attend lectures once PS4 comes is another thing entirely. Are picking up GTA V?

Next Gen Release Dates

The day has finally come. You can begin to get excited. The release dates for both PS4 and Xbox One have been revealed. First up, I'll give you the Xbox One release dates for North America and Europe and Australia: You can finally put a date in your calendar North America: November 22nd UK : November 22nd Australia : November 22nd IGN also listed some other regions, you can check those out  here. Moving onto the PS4. This was already unveiled at the Gamescom conference a few weeks ago, but I'm going to mention it anyway. November can't come soon enough North America: November 15th Australia, New Zealand and the UK : November 29th IGN once again listed some other regions which can be checked out  here. So, the release dates for both consoles have been revealed. Which one will you be getting? Xbox One, PS4, both or neither? Either way, don't forget to comment and let me know what you think.

My problems with the Xbox One

Sorry, you are not the ONE  for me. Before you even say it. NO, I AM NOT A SONY FANBOY!! In fact, I don't own a PS3 or a Vita. The last Sony console I bought was  PS2, I skipped the PS3. I didn't buy an Xbox but I bought an Xbox 360. So as you can see, I'm not really loyal to either. I like both for different reasons I also hate both for different reasons.  But that is a discussion for a different day. I've been having trouble deciding how I was going to write this. I was going to write an essay, but who has time to read that? Nobody, that's who. So I've decided to do a list, because who  doesn't love a list?  The price  - Seriously, Microsoft must think I'm made of money (Last time I checked, I wasn't) I can't afford a £429 (According to Amazon UK) price tag. It may not sound like a lot, but when you consider that doesn't include games, which will probably be £50. The numbers start to add up. I know you get the Kinect with...

Gaming Industry.... Groan, again.

More gaming groan. It just never ends. Square Enix making  too many Final Fantasy games. I mean this is getting ridiculous. They are making so many, I keep losing count of what number they are on ( I think it's Final Fantasy 100 or should that be Final Fantasy C ?). They seem to forget that they own other companies with some great IP's (Tomb Raider and Hitman are prime examples) STOP MAKING FINAL FANTASY!!! IT'S BORING!!! Microsoft is making Kinect mandatory on Xbox One. I think this sucks. I don't see why I should be forced to buy something I am probably never going to use for gaming or to control my TV. Not cool Microsoft. Not Cool. People comparing mobile gaming success with console gaming success. This is just stupid. They are completely different. It's like comparing Indie cinema with mainstream cinema. Developers talking about how powerful system is, instead of making games. Just shut up and make a game worth playing. 'Gamers' getting exc...
