E3 2017 Impressions: Sony Conference
Now with fishing! Another long one. I sure could use a drink… Microsoft had itself one impressive conference the day before. Its Xbox One X was the most anticipated announcement of E3 and they trotted out a very respectable slate of games. The onus was on Sony to respond, and many of us at Digital Crack wanted to know how they would. Their response was…curious. Sony has its own stable of heavy hit...[Read More]

PlayStation VR Review
There are a few significant factors to take into account when considering virtual reality as a viable option for gaming and consuming entertainment. The exposure and influx of VR hardware over the last couple of years asks two questions. Which is the one to get (if any), and is it really worth the cash? If it comes down to the lowest common denominator – price, then I’m not sure the qu...[Read More]

PlayStation VR Works Just Fine with Xbox One
The PlayStation VR officially hit the market today. The headset, meant to be paired with Sony’s own PlayStation 4, turns out to work fine without one. Several reports on a PlayStation VR subreddit have claimed success with connecting the PS VR to Microsoft’s rival console, the Xbox One.

E3 Impressions: Sony Conference
There is one trend that has propped up in recent E3 shows that I dislike. Once all the major conferences are concluded, various video game cognoscenti gather up and declare which company “won” E3, meaning what company’s conference was the best. I dislike it primarily because it implies that, despite any good things shown at other conferences, they don’t matter because one conference WON! I don’t t...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: Sony VR Games
In the race to bring VR to the gaming masses, I feel Sony has the most to lose. Based on the VR titles they revealed during their E3 conference, I think they may know that. That last paragraph is totally my opinion, but I will do my best to explain myself. Of the current console manufacturers, only Sony has fully hitched itself to the VR wagon. They did so by being the only one to actually announc...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: Ubisoft VR Games
Ubisoft debuted two VR games during their conference at E3. One of the games was a great example of what VR can for players who want that experience in flight; the other was a dream come true for fans who want to recreate the fanboy/fangirl situation of their dreams. Both had tons of benefits, but one glaring flaw. The first of the VR games, Eagle Flight, is a game that shows the potential of VR i...[Read More]
