PlayStation 4 versus Xbox One

Both new consoles are announced, the specs of both consoles are known, so let's compare the next-gen hardware! CPU The PlayStation 4 has a x86 AMD Jaguar processor, with 8 cores. It's clocked at 1.6 GHz. The Xbox One has a custom Microsoft CPU with also 8 cores. The Xbox One CPU is probably based on an AMD processor. The CPU of both consoles is nearly the same, so no one is stronger or better than the other. GPU The GPU of the PS4 is...

GTA V pre-order bonuses!

Great news today! Rockstar announced the GTA V pre-order bonuses! They are very cool, so I'm going to tell you everything about them. Everybody who pre-orders the game gets the opportunity to fly the Atomic Blimp. The Atomic Blimp is a huge zeppelin which is always flying above Los Santos as advertisement for Atomic, the largest tyre manufacturer of Los Santos. The Atomic Blimp looks nice, but because it's a Zeppelin it probably...

Xbox One

This evening Microsoft announced the new Xbox. It's called 'Xbox One', so no Durango, Infinity or 720, just One. I think it's a weird name because it's the third Xbox. The Xbox One will come in 2013, but when is not told by Microsoft. The interface from the Xbox One looks like Windows 8, which means even coloured squares. The console can show two menus at the same time, so you can watch a movie and Skype with a friend at the same time for example....

Assassin's Creed Movie

The Assassin's Creed movie has a release date. The movie will be in cinema's at 22 May 2015. The release date of the movie is two weeks after the release of The Avengers 2, so it's a bit risky. There isn't much known about the movie because the script is still written. I wonder what the script writer Michael Lesslie will make. I think the movie will have a new assassin. In the beginning the assassin will lose somebody or something important and then he...

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon Review

A month ago I wrote about Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon. Last week this game was released for $15 or €15. I bought the game last weekend for €12 because of a PlayStation Plus discount. The loading screens feature great quotes such as 'You need ammunition to shoot' or 'The hints on the loading screen give hints'. Finally there is a developer who doesn't want to help you with tips in the loading screen. The humor of the game is fantastic. While doing the...

DLC

DLCs, nowadays every game has several of them. The price is varying from free to $20, but are they worth it? It depends on the content. Some DLCs offer a gun or a suit, others offer land expansions or an extra storyline. In this feature I will try to solve the question whether DLCs are worth their price. Free DLCs Free DLCs are often released as an extra for the loyal players. A free DLC isn't much more than a gun and a suit,...

Carmageddon Mobile Review

In 1997 Carmageddon was released. Carmageddon is a race game, but different. You can win a race on three ways: drive through all checkpoints, wreck all opponents or kill all people. Carmageddon was a very controversial game, because running over people was rewarded. The release version in several countries was censored: people were replaced by zombies and robots, because killing non-human objects wasn't as bad as killing humans. Over the whole...

Real Racing 3 Review

Several months ago Real Racing 3 was released for iOS and Android. Real Racing is known as one of the most realistic racing game for the mobile platforms. Real Racing 2 was one of my favorite mobile race games so I downloaded Real Racing 3 as soon as it was available. Real Racing 3 is a freemium game. In the game you have two currencies: R$ and Gold. After winning a race you get R$. Most of the time it's between the 3000 and 8000 R$ a...

Hitman Blood Money Review

Hitman Blood Money is the last game from the Hitman Trilogy. Again the biggest difference with the previous Hitman games is the graphics. They look pretty good for a PlayStation 2 game. The possibilities in this Hitman are great. You can do every mission on many ways, because there are many routes to get to a place and to kill an enemy. Hitman can freerun on a simple way, there are several points in every map where you can climb a fence or walk...

Disc or download?

If you are going to buy a new game, you can choose to buy it on disc or download it. Both types of buying games have their own advantages. Buying a game on disc gives you a little book, although they are most of the time not interesting. Another big advantage is the possibility to borrow games from friends or to friends. Borrowing games is a good way to play many games without buying them all. The disadvantage is the space. Ten discs...
