The PlayStation 4 is packed with impressive next-gen features. You can play PS4 games on your PlayStation Vita using the magic of Remote Play, which is really useful if someone is using the TV.

While the camera is £50 extra, all controllers have Move motion...
Sony now charges for online gameplay through its PlayStation Plus service at £40 a year, but as that service offers superb, recently-released games for free every month, including Contrast and Resogun on the PlayStation 4, it’s worth paying for.

With PlayStation 4, Sony has upped the video game ante with incredible graphics and the ability to share gameplay with the touch of a “share” button on its redesigned game controller. But how is it as a media streamer? I took a look at Sony's latest to ch...

The PlayStation 4 comes in a surprisingly small box, especially when compared to the Xbox One. In fact, it looks more like the box you might find a laptop in, not a high-end video game console. That's not a bad thing though, as there is nothing wrong with...

The Xbox 360 kicked off the 7th generation of consoles 8 long years ago. Since 2005 we've seen the rise of social games, smartphone technology, mobile gaming, tablets, and even free-to-play gaming. All of these have been called at one time or another the...

There's not much more you can ask for in a console launch. As someone who's sat through the PS2 launch, with a million titles but none of them worth playing, and the PS3 launch with hardly any titles and nothing worth playing, the PS4 is head and shoulder...

Remember daydreaming about a system that would let you buy and download games online, and then let you share your experiences socially? There was a day when the concept seemed so far off, but now that system is finally here. We've been talking about Sony'...

If there's one thing that's apparent from using the PS4 for a couple of weeks, it's that Sony has been listening. This system shows that they've heard our gripes over the PS3's XMB, and that they've heard our many George Foreman grill jokes. It shows that...
