PlayStation Plus March content!

With March fast approaching, the next batch of Plus content has just been announced for the EU territories,

In summary
Leaving PS Plus in March:
6th March: Sleeping Dogs
6th March: Vanquish
6th March: LIMBO
13th March: Wipeout 2048
20th March: Lumines Electronic Symphony

Entering PS Plus in March:
6th March: Mass Effect 3
6th March: Dead or Alive 5
6th March: Joe Danger 2
13th March: Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
20th March: Puddle

Out of the above games I have only owned Mass Effect 3, so March is a good month for me, the Metal Gear Solid HD collection is for the Vita so I will have something new to play whilst I am on my break at work so I cant wait.

The following are videos of Mass Effect 3 and Dead or Alive 5,






I will do a review for Dead or Alive 5 if I decide to download it as fighters aren't really my genre of games, after dabbling in games such as Mortal Kombat and Soul Callibur I can see that I dont have the knack or skill required and instead just submit to button mashing the control in a hope I pull of a really cool move, and instead just end up doing the same kick or punch over and over until the opponents health gets fully depleted.

My next blog post I will try to detail all that I can find out on the next Sony console, The PlayStation 4.

as ever thanks for reading please feel free to comment or follow my blog.

Need for Speed Most Wanted review

I got bored after work and decided to buy the newest Need for Speed game, it was developed by Criterion who also made the Burnout serious of games, which I love, and published by EA.

Starting the game you get a slight intro same as you did on Burnout Paradise, in the intro it shows you parts of the city and also tells you the background story of what it is you are aiming for, to be the Most Wanted.

After the intro you get thrown in to your first race and get to test out your skills while aiming to come in first, as with Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, Autolog makes a return and everything you do from a near miss to a high speed through a speed camera is recorded in your own personal profile that gets instantly uploaded to the online leader boards and pops up on the screen with a local friends scores leader board to compare who is the better at whatever it was you were doing.

Easy drive also makes a return from the Burnout Paradise game, which makes the games menu system that much easier to navigate even whilst driving, just tap the D-pad right button to bring up the menu that then let's you see what races you have available, retry previous races you have completed to get a higher score or place higher if you didn't come in 1st the first time you raced.

The cars in the game are fully liscenced cars ranging from Ford Focus to Pegani Zonda, with many different classes and levels of cars available, to get the cars you must find them at Jackspots dotted around the city which then unlock specific races for that car to unlock mods for that car.

Whilst racing the AI can get aggressive towards you if you insist on trading paint with them, so much so to the point that they will try and take you down no matter what, I also noticed in the 1v1 most wanted races that the "Rubber Band" effect is in place with cars who have recently crashed manage to speed up tremendously to catch up with you within seconds however flip it and you crash, it takes a lot longer for you to catch up, this in itself makes the races against the AI not as exciting shall I say since if they mess up they are right back there behind you and if you mess up you have quite a bit of catching up to do.

On the multiplayer though is where things do get exciting again as its every man for himself, unless you play team racing, if your opponents crash online there is no instant catch up and they will pay for their mistakes, as will you if you slip up. Online has the Easy Drive menu also and the lobby is the city itself, fully open for you to explore with your friends while waiting for the host to set up a race.

Overall this game is exactly like Burnout Paradise just with different modes and fully liscenced cars, and I LOVE Burnout Paradise, only downside is the rubber and effect on single player otherwise the game is flawless 9 out of 10 from me! EA as usual as well have done a great job on the soundtrack to the game as with most other EA titles that have excellent soundtracks.

F1 Race Stars review


The newest game along with Sleeping Dogs to hit the paid for PlayStation subscription service is F1 Race Stars, the game itself is a Mario Kart / Modnation type game that uses well know racers from the Formula 1 series, so all the favorites are there such as Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen.

The game itself is all about reaching a podium finish whilst using many power ups dotted around the race tracks to help give you the edge, whether they be to help you such as the boost power up or to slow your opponents with a pulse weapon and also ricochet bubbles.

There are courses from all around the world that include cartoon mock ups of things associated with that area, you also dont just travel on tarmac in the game, one level i played also had you traversing down some rapids guiding your car round the bends so not to be slowed down by driving over the grassy bank.

I have not given the multiplayer a go yet but from what I have played the game is great for when friends are over to have a laugh whilst also secretly trying to get the edge over them by using the power ups, you can play 4 player split screen offline too which is always great and much less seen in racing games these days.


There is alot of enjoyment in the game and will be great when I have friends come round to play games for that reason I will give it a 7 out of 10 as it looks great and plays well, next I will give the multiplayer portion a go and hopefully have no issues with that side of the game.

Looking at the list, once again publishers are setting their prices too high to purchase full retail games, especially when they can be had for less from walking down to the local retailer that sells games and also then have the option to trade them in at a later date if you so wish.



PlayStation Store update

Following on from my earlier post about the PS Vita anniversary sale, today is also the day that new PlayStation Plus content goes live, Sleeping dogs and F1 Race stars are on offer this month, the following is a video for them both,

I have already bought and completed Sleeping Dogs and it is an awesome game, well worth taking your time to play it or even signing up to PS Plus if you're not already a member of it,

As for F1 Race Stars, I haven't had a chance to play it yet so I am quite looking foreward, too me it looks like a Mario Kart / Modnation Racer sort of game so hopefully should be good, I might do a review on it if it is.

As you can see the list is pretty big with the discounts it's just a shame there aren't any newer games on offer in the sale, I might have to pick up the Ridge Racer ultimate edition for £10, I also recommend Unit 13, I have it and it is a fairly decent game.

Grand Theft Auto 5 release date

Rockstar have finally penned in when they are going to be selling the next game in the ever popular Grand Theft Auto franchise by releasing this poster on their Facebook page,

According to their newsletter this is slightly later than they had originally planned and said the small delay was just to make the game as good as it needs to be and there was no ulterior motive behind the delay.

Enjoy this video that they have released recently to show off the new addition.

Playstation 4 unveiled?

Sony have well and truly got the rumor mills in full flow with their recent blog posts across the world titled "See the future" with just the following video to add to the blog post and a link to register interest to their news.





What do you guys have in mind? PlayStation 4? thats what my money is on as they released their second dev kit for the PS4 so hopefully that means they are readying up to launch their next generation home entertainment system, other rumors about the web are trying to drum up wether it is why GTA 5 is going to have a late in the year release to tie in with the PlayStation 4 launch.
