Although many publishers have been hyping their current-gen to next-gen upgrade programs, they may have left one important detail out: save files. It’s not something that comes to mind when one first thinks of switching from a PS3 version to a PS4 version, but apparently it’s something we should have. While not an across-the-board problem — at least not yet — new reports are surfacing that state the single player save files for some of this year’s biggest cross-gen titles (available on both current and next-gen consoles) will not be transferrable between console generations....

Mass Effect is a series that started in 2007 and has since blossomed into a beloved science-fiction universe with unique races, politics, and antagonists. It has had a number of public successes and scandals, which, for better or worse, have kept it in the collective gaming subconscious for many years. In a universe with hundreds of worlds and dozens of alien races, there’s bound to be a lot of backstory. The games are full of it; there are so many codex entries and NPCs to talk to that you’d probably never make it through them all — and even if you did, you’d never remember everything....

Mass Effect 3 fans are getting bored of its multiplayer or 3 million Banshees are simply too much to deal with in one weekend.

But despite many agreeing that Microsoft had already reached the pinnacle of good controller design, the Xbox One platform holder is reportedly working on a successor....

Grand Theft Auto V. A game that conjures up images of ‘adult’ themes, and violence fueled battles. A game that mirrors the bustling life of Los Angeles with their own Los Santos, showing off both the glamorous and the seedy underbelly of the city. A game where you can go skydiving in one minute, and then land in the middle of the city and start blowing up cars. The action packed, open world game has never been afraid to delve into weird and insane territory, that’s for sure....

Misty might just be my favourite Pokemon character. I like a lot of characters in the games, but they’re never fleshed out enough to rise up and become my favourite. I also stopped watching the Pokemon anime religiously during the Orange Islands, so there isn’t a great deal of competition - it’s basically a toss up between her and Jessie. But still, I love Misty, and as great as it is to know how beloved she is within the fandom, every time I replay Pokemon Blue, Pokemon Gold, or Let’s Go Pikachu, I can’t help but feel she deserves so much better....

Groundbreaking and highly-polished downloadable titles are nothing new to the PC crowd, but the past few years have seen the genre explode on home consoles.
