If you haven’t already, head over to our PS4 review to see what we think of the console itself. In the review we mentioned the PS4 controller needed an article on its own because there are lots of improvements and things to be talked about. Well let’s just say, the controller is finally a step up for the Dualshock, but it has one major drawback.

This week on TFGP, Eric and Jordan welcome Michael Mendheim, the creator of the original Mutant League Football game on the SNES and Genesis to the show.  Inside Michael talks about what he's working on, what games he's playing (or not playing), and dishes on what he learned from his recent unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign to reboot the retro franchise.  Come inside to hear what this gaming legend has to say!

When Beyond: Two Souls was first announced, I was rather unsure what it really was. They were marketing it as an action oriented title, then slowly crept into it being a story driven title. Luckily they showcased the story driven part more and I became interested in it. This is what the game is, a long story that will make you go through emotions at the snap of a finger. It has its hiccups, but the game should go down in the books as one of the best titles ever made.

The NFL may be back on the TV, but gamers and fans the world over have been delving into the world of Madden already in order to get their football fix.  Come inside to check out our video review of the latest entry in the celebrated franchise to see whether or not this update is worth picking up.

Possibly the most important game in beat ‘em up history since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game, Dragon’s Crown brings amazing innovation to a hurting genre.  But is it worth your money?  Come inside to find out.

The Beta for Blizzard's new card game expansion to World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, is in full swing.  We here at Cinelinx got the chance to spend ample time with the beta in order to bring you our impressions on the upcoming game, and whether or not you should be excited for it.  Come inside to see our early thoughts!

In our neonate online podcast episode, you’ll have to overlook the bumps and potholes as we navigate our way through technical difficulties (such as conversing in nerd-speak without being in the same city ONLINE, nonetheless).

Metal Gear Solid fans have a brand new collection to drool over, in the MGS: Legacy Collection, which brings together just about every Metal Gear game currently in existence.  While the new collection doesn’t add anything we haven’t gotten before, in terms of gameplay, it features some other extras specific to this set.  Is it enough to justify the purchase for fans?  Come inside to check our review and find out.

In a bold move, the 343 Industries-helmed Halo franchise has departed from it's Xbox home and made it's way onto Windows 8 platforms.  But Halo die-hards need not worry.  This mobile/PC entry into the legendary series has everything you're looking for.  Read on to see our score and full breakdown of Halo: Spartan Assault.

Blame it on the Mayans or maybe the holidays, but this episode is all shades of crazy.  The TFGP crew review Farcry 3 and Persona 4 for the Vita.  We talk all about this year’s Video Game Awards (VGA’S) , and we start the discussion of what game should win our Golden Motorboat Award for Gaming Excellence.

With The Last of Us, Naughty Dog has created something truly special that stands as a firm testament to video games as an art form.  Read on to see how it stacks up in terms of gameplay, graphics, and story!

Remember Me was a surprise title for me when it was announced. We all knew this generation was coming to an end, yet we saw awesome games like The Last of Us and Remember Me get announced. Each game looked amazing in their own way, but Remember Me had everything I love, fantasy, technology, an amazing world with a vibrant unique story. Besides The Last of Us, it was one of my most anticipated titles, and so far its delivering for sure.

The Vita seems to be getting a huge push from Sony by supporting all PS4 titles via remote play, but the device itself is still getting plenty of support of its own. At E3 there were a ton of great games to play and one of them was Killzone: Mercenary. Since the franchise’s next console iteration (Shadow Fall) is being hyped up for the PS4, I had to get my hands on the Vita version of it.

One thing that had a presence at E3 that wasn’t a big fancy new console was NVidia’s new handheld. The Shield is NVidia’s answer to stay in the gaming market and produce something for gamers. However is the device something Gamers should be looking out for?

The first thing we ever saw for the PlayStation 4 was it's controller, and Sony has been touting it as a unique feature for the system that will enhance our gameplay.  Like we did with the Xbox One controller, we got some time to play around with Sony's fancy new Dualshock 4 and our bringing our first impressions to you. 

Microsoft's E3 press conference was all about the games (mostly) and little attention was paid to the redesigned controller for the Xbox One, which, during their reveal event, they boasted had several significant changes.  We got some hands on time with the new controller to see if the changes are a good thing, or fixing what isn't broken. 

The highly anticipated Bioshock Infinite hit stores finally last week to generally positive reviews.  Does the game live up to the hype as well as the legacy of its predecessor?  It's definitely worth playing through, but it's not quite as revolutionary as most reviews would suggest.  Come inside to check out our thoughts on Irrational Games' latest.

The much anticipated follow-up, or expansion if you will, to Blizzard’s StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, released last week during what is an already busy and bustling month for video games.  Does Blizzard’s newest real-time strategy game have what it takes to stand out in a month full of triple-A games?  Come check out our full review to find out.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a radical departure from previous games that have held the Metal Gear moniker in terms of gameplay.  Is it too much of a difference for gamers to enjoy?  Will people new to the franchise have a lesser experience?  After having played through the game (a couple times now) I’m here to hopefully answer those questions and help you decide whether or not it’s worth picking up (if you’re still unsure about it).
