Playstation 4 Console Review

Hello everyone. Well, I have officially began my entrance into the next generation of console gaming, I entered in last Thursday, December 19th, my little brother's birthday. It was also the last day of finals for college, so not only did I get to celebrate my little brother's 17th birthday, wrap up the Fall 2013 college semester. I also got a brand new PS4. I've been using it a lot since then(of course) and by now I have my final word on the console. Before I actually give my final word on the PS4, let's take a look at what it's bringing to the table. Forgive me, but I'm not really all that tech speak, so I'm just going to jump straight into the consoles design. Also, I have a last generation iPod with a poor camera, so a lot of the pictures you'll see are going to be grainy and nothing special. Also, this is my first console review, so if I miss a few things, I apologize, please fill in some of those aspects of the PS4 you think I should h

Resogun (PS4 Exclusive) Review

Hello everyone. Well, as of last week on Thursday. The Playstation 4 came to the house. The UPS truck stopped by, the man handed me the giant box, pulled off the bubble wrap, opened the box and saw the sleek black box that is the Playstation 4. Set up the console, connected to PSN and began my experience with Resogun. Free for PS Plus members, Resogun is a great game to begin your Playstation experience. Let's begin. (No story/plot to the game so we're jumping straight into the presentation) Presentation Resogun looks amazing on the Playstation 4. Many particle effects fill the screen with all sorts of colorful explosions and lasers being shot from  all types of directions and dozens upon dozens of enemies populating the screen. At 1080p running at 60fps, there is no screen tearing or  frame rate drops to happen in this game. Even when some of the biggest of explosions take place on screen, the console will not be burdened by the vast explosions. It

Battlefield 3 Weapon Guides: M4A1 Carbine

Hello everyone! Welcome to my 2nd in a series of weapon guides for Battlefield 3. Today, we're going to be looking at the default carbine rifle for the US Engineer Kit. The M4A1. Background The M4 rifle is a carbine derived from the M16 rifle design. More specifically, the M4 rifle was derived from the M16A2 design. Lighter, shorter and every other aspect, engineered the same as the M16A2. Gas operated, magazine fed, selective fire, shoulder-fired weapon. The M4A1 on the other hand, is a fully automatic variant of the M4 rifle; intended for special operations use. The M4A1 is used in almost all U.S. special operation units; Army Rangers, Army Special Forces, Navy SEALS etc. The M4A1 is also planned to replace every M4 carbine rifle and M16 rifle in 2014.

Grand Theft Auto V Review

Hello everyone. Well, I can safely say that I was someone who missed the ban wagon. When GTA V launched I did not play the game, not because I chose not to, but because I was concerned about buying the game straight away. I have never played a GTA game in my life(until now). I always say GTA as the "play the bad guy game", I don't like playing the bad guy. I would rather play the good guy, playing as characters like Cole Phelps or Link from Legend of Zelda is what I enjoy the most. Playing as the gang banger or "psychotic killer" like Franklin or Trevor; never had a great appeal to me. So I looked to Gamefly to rent the game to see if the game is as good as people have made it out to be. Is it? Yes. Story Grand Theft Auto V centers around 3 main characters. Michael, a retired con man living the big life in a mansion with a fancy car, backyard pool, unfaithful wife, lazy pot smoking son and want to be excotic dancer daughter. He's fed up

Battlefield 3 Weapon Guides: M16A3

Hello there. Welcome to my first Battlefield 3 weapons guide. Today, we're going to be looking at the default assault rifle of the assault kit, the M16A3. Background   In the real world of fire arms, the M16A3 is a select-fire variant of the previous rendition of the M16 rifle, the M16A2. The M16A3 features the M16A1 trigger group for safe semi-auto and fully auto modes. The M16 platform in general, is a very famous weapons in the US military. It is a light weight 5.56mm air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed assault rifle built with a rotating bolt. The M16 is part of the AR-15 platform of rifles developed by Colt in 1959. The first versions of the M16 proved to be troublesome for any users of the combat rifle; jamming flaws which resulted from a change in gunpowder which was made without proper testing, and although the weapon was told to be 'self-cleaning' reports arose of soldiers being wounded were directly linked to the M16 rifle. The M16 was used
