Never Tried: Rainbow Six: Siege
I am not an FPS fan. The few readers who have followed me thus far know this.

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]
