As the gaming world anxiously awaits the unveiling of the final next-gen competitor, rumored under the name of Xbox Infinity, Sony has slowly been slipping out more and more details regarding their next system.

Recently, more information about the DualShock 4 controller and additional system specifications have slowly made their way around the web.

However, they’ve been rather quiet on the release date.

By no means is this official, but if we piece together a few scattered bits of information, we just may be very close to finding out when the PS4 will release.

Thank Ubisoft for this one.

Could this be the date?

Call of Duty vs. Battlefield: How Gamers Ruin Both… and Gaming

Call of Duty vs. Battlefield: How Gamers Ruin Both… and Gaming

When competition ruins appreciation

by Michael Gilbert

As gamers, we often come to establish what we think of a game based on our previous experiences.

This shooter is realistic because head shots kill people in one shot, this racer is awesome because my Camaro sounds really loud (just like Dad’s—for those of us with dads that have Camaros), this Mario game is fun because it makes funny sounds and I laughed my ass off (LMFAO for you more apt readers).

We also make comparisons based on games we did or didn’t like before.

Halo is better than Quake because the graphics are better, or, for a more ignorant comparison, World of Warcraft is the worst game ever “’cuz only nerds play that game. YOLO. Swagg.”

But what we fail to do is recognize the smaller accomplishments that actually construct a game’s ‘personality’, as I like to call it.

Something that comparing a game to another simply just can’t do.

Is competition ruining modern gaming?

What’s Next for Call of Duty?

The future examined

Back in 2011, just after Modern Warfare 3 had been released, I took a crack at what I thought would be the next Call of Duty game.

Well, it’s about that time of year again since they seem to do their announcements around April or May, so I thought I would give it another shot.

I came close last time (granted, I used the scatter gun approach by guessing several different options) but it might be a little trickier this time because the Modern Warfare franchise has come to an end (or has it?).

So, what are the options?

What does the future hold for Call of Duty? Find out…

Battlefield 4 Gameplay Premiere

Is this the next gen of warfare?

by Anthony Pruett

Battlefield 3 has been one of my absolute favorite shooters this gen, and EA has enjoyed great success because of its success.

Recently, a sequel has been teased via artwork and a website, leading up to now.

Finally, EA has delivered a whopping seventeen minute video on Battlefield 4... but is this truly the next generation of warfare?
