This Week In Games: The PS4 Is Coming (And Mario!)

Happy PS4 (and Mario) week! There’s a lot coming out this week as you might expect, what with the launch of a brand new console and all. I’ll have a full look at the PS4 later this week, but I will say that I am enjoying it a lot so far. Especially Assassin’s Creed IV. So glad I waited for next-gen to play it. So. Good.

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag (PS4)

What is it? It’s the new Assassin’s Creed IV on PS4!
Should you care? I know. ACIII sucked. This one doesn’t. I spent the weekend playing this almost exclusively on PS4 and it is amazing. Might actually be my favourite game of the year.

Battlefield 4 (PS4)

What is it? It’s Battlefield 4 on the PS4!
Should you care? I dunno. This always seemed like a PC thing to me. I’ve always found it hard to get into Battlefield on consoles.

Call of Duty: Ghosts (PS4)

What is it? It’s Call of Duty: Ghosts on PS4!
Should you care? Yeah, I guess. It’s alright I suppose.

FIFA 14 (PS4)

What is it? It’s FIFA 14 on PS4!
Should you care? Actuallym next gen FIFA is sort of quite good really.

Killzone: Shadow Fall (PS4)

What is it? It’s Killzone on PS4!
Should you care? I have played roughly an hour of this and it looks amazing. I also really like the way the game starts. But yeah, Killzone games have never been perfect.

Knack (PS4)

What is it? It’s Knack, on PS4!
Should you care? Haven’t had the chance to play this yet, but early reviews were not positive.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes (PS4)

What is it? It’s LEGO Marvel Super Heroes on PS4! (This ‘joke’ is getting old fast…)
Should you care? I think it’s pretty good. One of the better LEGO games. It is still just a LEGO game though.

Madden NFL 25 (PS4)

What is it? SPORTSBALL: THE VIDEO GAME.
Should you care? I don’t like NFL, your mileage may vary.

NBA 2K14 (PS4)

What is it? The ball of baskets in video game form.
Should you care? This looked good when I saw it, but I just don’t feel like I’m in a good position to judge a basketball game.

NBA Live 14 (PS4)

What is it? Please see above.
Should you care? Please see above.

Need For Speed: Rivals (Xbox One/PS4)

What is it? The new Need for Speed thing on next-gen.
Should you care? Apparently this is pretty good!

One Piece: Romance Dawn (3DS)

What is it? An RPG based on the super popular manga/anime One Piece.
Should you care? I dunno. I would expect this to be a bit mediocre. For fans of the show only, I guess.

Power Rangers Megaforce (3DS)

What is it? WAT?
Should you care? I can’t believe they made another Power Rangers game. In this day and age…

Professional Farmer 2014 (PC)

What is it? It’s a farming simulator!
Should you care? I am so glad this exists. I honestly could see this being a lot of fun!

Rugby League Live 2 – World Cup Edition (360/PS3)

What is it? I though this came out last week?
Should you care? It’s just Rugby League Live 2 with some bells and whistles in time for the World Cup.

Super Mario 3D World (Wii U)

What is it? OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD.
Should you care? Sorry, I am a bit excited for this. Can’t really hold back. Yes, you should totally care. Might even be worth buying a Wii U for.

Zoo Tycoon (360)


What is it?
I didn’t know this was coming out on the 360, but there you go!
Should you care? Apparently this is actually quite a bit of fun.
