How Sony convinced me to buy a PS4
Hats off to Sony for not only providing the public with a multitude of excellent announcements (Grim Fandango!!) but by almost never mentioning the PS3 during the nearly 2 hour long conference, you also made people realise that now is the best time to get their ass onto next-gen.

Star Wars: Battlefront is in good hands with EA
To this day, Star Wars: Battlefront 2 is still one of my favorite games based in that galaxy far, far away. Just the idea of jumping into the Midst of the battle of Hoth or swinging a light-saber at my enemies in the lava-laden depths of Mustafar was the sort of thrilling experience I knew, being the huge fan that I am, that I could seriously keep coming back to over and over again. So when Lucasarts in its original form was swallowed by Disney, taking Battlefront III (as well as a number of other promising Star Wars games), to the graveyard with it, I was obviously a tad crushed. what little I had seen on the game had certainly been promising, and it was desperately about time that the experience was brought into the current generation of consoles.

It looked a lot like the Battlefield we're familiar with but with a simple twist: cops and robbers. While this small change might just seem like a big company trying to differentiate itself from the competition, we think it's more than just a gimmick.

There’s Already too much DLC at E3
With one press conference down, and a few more to go, it appears as if downloadable content is going to once again be a big thing at E3 2014. DLC comes with its own praises and criticisms, but in general, it is a idea that has worked out for both developers and gamers. Developers can extend the life of their titles while also gaining more revenue, while players get more content for the games they love. There are a few issues that have always, and will always, surround DLC.
