Battlefield 4 on the Next Gen Systems

Coming right out of GamesCom 2013, Electronic Arts and DICE unveiled another BF4 map, titled “Paracel Storm”. Sporting 60 silky frames a second, the game bleeds color on your television. Not to thrown in the dynamics of the map changing, and a few weather patterns to boot. This one looks to be one killer of a map to play.

Ranking right up there in your top 10 addictions, we have our next iteration from Popcap games.  Plants Vs. Zombies 2 brings back that good old fashioned tower defense gaming, along with Crazy Dave in his quest for his already eaten taco.

This time around, Crazy Dave decides to travel back in time to eat his taco yet again, only to wind up in ancient Egypt, a Pirate Cove, and the old Wild West.  And of course, the Zombies are back to try and eat your brains!

I think I’ve already burned about 10 hours on this game alone!  The only bummer is the attempts at “In-Game Purchases”, which really aren’t needed.  As you progress along in the game, you’ll unlock all the plants you ever need to defend your home.

Give it a go!  Its just as addicting as the original!

In another brilliant reversal move by Micro$oft, the new Xbox One will now allow indie developers to publish their game on Xbox Live without requiring a publishing partner.

It seems that what Micro$0ft ultimately did was take all the negative press from E3 concerning the Xbox One, and decided “nah, lets not do that”, causing some indie publishers to jump ship, and head to Sony.

(Including the “Oddworld” developer, and “Bastion” developer.. )

Sony, on the other hand, has been up front and working with all indie developers that it could possibly get ahold of for the new PlayStation 4.

Regardless, this does have the potential to reverse the flow of folks signing up for a PS 4 for a Xbone (Not me though..)

Now, if Micro$oft would drop the whole “Kinect is required” mantra, and drop the price $100, they may get a bit more folks signing up for a pre-order.

Maybe next it will run all Apple products too?   Click Me.
