PlayStation Now Subscription Service Announced January 5, 2015
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
It looks like Sony decided to take my advice and is launching the PlayStation Now game streaming software as a subscription service.
If you ask me this is a brilliant decision as it will allow players a much more flexible price point then what they were initially offering, with the option to discontinue if the service is ever shut down.
They plan to launch with over 100 playable games including Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, God of War: Ascension, Bioshock: Infinite, and Batman: Arkham City.
The service launches first on PS4 January 13th. You will need an Internet connection to play.
Halo 5: Guardians Beta Slayer Gameplay on Empire January 2, 2015
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
At the launch of the Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer beta, two maps were available to play on a single game type, Slayer. Earlier today, we took a look at one the beta’s launch maps, Truth. Now we’re going to take a look at the beta’s other map, Empire, and see what it’s like.
Joined by his cousin Vinny and diskreader117, Maniac tackles a game of Slayer on the map Empire. This one is a real nail biter. Just remember, 343 Industries has announced that they have added a few more maps and an entirely new gametype to the beta yesterday, so if you’re in the beta and haven’t played it recently, some new content will be ready to play for you.
Halo 5: Guardians is coming in 2015 exclusively on the Xbox One.

Happy New Year! Just before New Year’s Eve, we promised you guys a special surprise, and here it is, direct feed footage from the Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta Test. Halo 5: Guardians may be about a year away from launch, but we got early access to some of the game’s multiplayer levels, and we are really excited to show them to you. Joined here by his cousin Vinny (no joke, Maniac actually has a cousin named Vinny), Maniac tackles the Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer level Truth in a game of Slayer.
Just before the game starts, we take a quick look at some of the new armor permutations offered in the Beta, including some special armor that you can only get by earning it in Halo: The Master Chief Collection. If you enjoy the footage, just post a comment, and we will be happy to post more.
Halo 5: Guardians is coming exclusively to the Xbox One in 2015.
PlayStation Network Announces Compensation for Christmas Downtime January 1, 2015

Online services for the PlayStation Network were down for most of the Christmas break, preventing paying customers from using online services on their consoles. Today, Sony has announced how the users that were affected by that downtime will be compensated.
All active PlayStation Plus users will be comped an extra five days of playtime automatically on their accounts. Also they announced that they will be offering a 10% discount on the PlayStation Store pretty soon, and more details on that will be posted soon. If you want to read the full details you can go here.
If you ask me, this is nothing in comparison to what Microsoft has offered Xbox One owners suffering from issues with Halo: The Master Chief Collection’s multiplayer.

Happy New Year, gamers! I hope you are all enjoying the day however you choose to spend it.
Nintendo has decided to spend the day updating their catalog of downloadable titles on the Nintendo Wii U’s eShop. Today, they’ve rereleased the fan favorite Game Boy Advance title Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire to the Wii U Virtual Console, and you can buy it right now.
This game is loved by both pinball fans and Pokémon trainers alike. It was considered by fans to be an improvement over the original Pokémon Pinball title, a game which sadly, hasn’t hit the 3DS Virtual Console yet.
Yes, it can be played exclusively on the Wii U controller. Take a look for yourselves.
Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire is out now on the Wii U eShop.
