So what do you get the game hedz in your life this Christmas?
Well the most obvious answers: The XBox One and/or the PS4.
XBox One or PS4?
Power or processors isn’t the issue, but exclusive games and online service. So far Sony has been saying that dozens of exclusive games are in the works for the PS4, including something special from Last of Us/Uncharted creators, Naughty Dog. A recent online announcement strongly suggests it’s a brand new Uncharted story for the PS4. Giggity. The Playstation Network has long been established in the Middle East, while Xbox Live has only been active for several months, without much content to enhance the experience. XBox One comes with some iffy sporting collaborations (with the NFL) that may only be accessible to US users, and there aren’t any exclusive games that have got our hearts racing just yet. So GH recommends the PS4.
What Games?
There are a few games that are already released which will make your game head happy, including Battlefield 4 and Batman: Arkham Origins. As for DLC, you could treat them to the second season of The Walking Dead and Bioshock: Burial at Sea. There is a single player DLC for The Last Us (yipeeeee!!), but that releases in Jan 2014. Still, it will make fans of the game very happy.
Last of US DLC
This LoU DLC follows the story of the Dark Horse comics that preceded the game launch. We’ll play as fiery heroine, Ellie alongside her best friend and mentor, Riley as they navigate a world torn between the governing authority and the rebel faction, The Fireflies. The two orphans, residents at a military academy in Boston have their own challenges to face in this story that leads into the main storyline that we now know and love.
With that said, as much as we love gaming, the best way to spend your festive season is with people, not machines. Not batteries, wires or wireless connections necessary.
Happy National Day, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
