Definitive editions of games are becoming more and more prominent these days. The latest game to receive this treatment is Sleeping Dogs, which hits retail today (at time of publishing). At the development helm is Vancouver based United Front games who are also responsible for the excellent Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition on Xbox One. We loved Sleeping Dogs when it first came out in August of 2012 on the last round of consoles. So the big question is will this love carry over into 2014 with merely a fresh coat of paint? Well, not quite.
While Gran Turismo may have pioneered the sim-racing on consoles, the genre has come along way since the original GT debuted on the *gasp* original PlayStation. Ever since its main competition Forza entered the fray the GT series has seemed, to me, to be a step behind especially with its lengthy delays for it to appear in full and proper form on the PS3. With the next-gen upon us, and games like Forza 5 available, scoring GT6 has its difficulties. Comparisons are inevitable despite the cross-generational gap. Despite the PS4’s excellent sales numbers there is still massive install base of PS3’s out there. I don’t yet have a PS4 in my house (I will though when my wife isn’t looking) so it is nice to see the PS3 get support like this. For race fans who still use the PS3 as their primary gaming console you are not going to want to miss this one.
By now I think everyone has heard of Minecraft. You have probably seen the amazing things people have done in this game during your virtual travels online. While Minecraft has always interested me I had never played the game before this review. When our Editor-In-Chief phoned me last Friday and told me that he was putting me on review duty for this game I couldn’t have been happier. Minecraft almost defies description while being one of the more compelling games I’ve played recently.
