Never Tried: Rainbow Six: Siege
I am not an FPS fan. The few readers who have followed me thus far know this. I am also not a big online multiplayer participant, save for the few times I dare enter the Street Fighter IV ranked room, vodka in hand to cushion the pain of my defeat. (For the record, I am better than average in the SF IV matches I play when I try. I accede to trophy hunters; they are kindred souls!) So when Rainbow ...[Read More]
PS Vita Hacked, Allowing Full System Access
When the PlayStation Vita was announced, one of Sony’s aims was to harden the system. Their previous portable console, the PSP, was exploited regularly, allowing users to run homebrew applications like emulators. The PS Vita, meanwhile, has stayed relatively locked since its 2011 launch. That has now changed, as Team Molecule released an exploit that fully unlocks the Vita hardware. The exploit, n...[Read More]

It could be a re-r...[Read More]
Indie Game Lookout for July 28, 2016
Another week, another batch of Indie Game Lookout titles. I actually had more intriguing titles than I had spots. I do want to keep it to three entries per week; I don’t want to drop a whole encyclopedia on everyone. I’m thinking of doing side bits where I highlight a particularly juicy title. Let me know what you think about that, and please keep feeding me indie goodness on my Twitter account. W...[Read More]
Amazon Lists Then Removes Listing for Metal Gear Solid V Definitive Ex
Online retailer Amazon temporarily listed Metal Gear Solid V Definitive Ex on its Amazon UK and Amazon Japan sites. A post on the PlayStation 4 Reddit showed the link for the UK site, which has since been removed. The listing gave a release date of December 31st and had mostly placeholder information. Speculation has run rampant about what the game actually is. Many figure that a “Definitive” vers...[Read More]
No Man’s Sky’s Latest Trailer Almost Squashed My Planetary Dream
All I wanted was my own planet. No Man’s Sky was my way to finally have one. After watching the latest video for the game, however, I may have to resort to plan B: Marvin the Martian cosplay! Hello Games’ procedurally generated universal exploration sim has had me salivating for quite some time now. The thought of blasting through space and exploring the farthest reaches of galaxies makes the Star...[Read More]
No Man’s Sky Will Not Need PlayStation Plus to Play
In a rather odd twist, No Man’s Sky will not require a PlayStation Plus subscription in order to play it when it launches on August 9th. Considering the game is set in a universe with significant online infrastructure, it’s a foregone conclusion that it is a multiplayer game. Hence, the game would need PlayStation Plus to play, as PlayStation Plus is required to play with or against other players ...[Read More]
No Man’s Sky Faces Another (Maybe Permanent) Delay
No Man’s Sky, the PlayStation 4 exclusive that is poised to occupy my life for the foreseeable future, is facing another possible delay before its August 9 release. This delay, however, may be permanent. A Dutch company named Genicap is alleging that Hello Games, the developers of No Man’s Sky, used their Superformula without licensing it. The Superformula is basically a math equation that allows ...[Read More]
