Maniac picked up the Collector’s Edition of the highly anticipated multiplatform title Watch_Dogs. Let’s crack it open and see if it’s worth a price of $130US.
Note: The Watch_Dogs CE includes no download codes. After going through all the enclosed leaflets, it turns out that all the bonus content included with the PS4 version of the game appear to be on the physical game disc and do not need to be downloaded separately.

It’s time for a new Mind of Maniac, an unscripted series where Maniac talks about various important topics going on with the gaming industry. In the most timely Mind of Maniac we have ever posted, Maniac talks about Microsoft’s most recent announcement. Yesterday, Microsoft announced their intention to release a new version of the Xbox One which does not include a Kinect. While this was met with near universal praise from the gaming press, the Kinect is a peripheral that was pretty integral to Microsoft’s strategy with the Xbox One. Here’s a list of problems that making the Kinect optional will make for game developers, consumers, and Microsoft.

Due to illness, all of the PS4 content we promised would be coming this weekend had to be put on hold for a little bit. Don’t worry, we still have plenty of PS4 related content coming for the rest of the week starting today!
To kick off this extended week of PS4, Maniac unboxes one of the PS4’s launch titles, Knack. Developed by Mark Cerny, the father of the PS4, the game takes advantage of the PS4’s advanced physics system, as you take control of a robot which has the ability to get bigger and bigger with the more debris it creates.
Knack is out now exclusively for the PS4.

If there was one reason to get a Playstation 4 it would be to play inFAMOUS Second Son. The game’s Collector’s Edition sold out almost entirely after launch, but I was able to snag a copy for myself. Is it worth the price? Let’s see what’s in the box.
My gosh, look at all the time that we’ve spent so far. The day has wrapped and I still have tons of more PS4 content that I want to produce. I think we’re going to need to move this into overtime!
