Gorgeous
Compact Design
Amazing Controller
Deep Social Integration

It has been 7 years since the PS3 was released, and the PS4 is a massive upgrade over its predecessor. On some titles, like Killzone Shadow Fall, the gaming experience is practically life-like and offers a vision of what is to come. However, the PS4's...

Abstract: How good is the PlayStation 4? Ask me in five years. Ask me after Naughty Dog's next couple of games, after I figure out whether God of War is headed in the right direction, after I learn whether it has become unfathomable to play a console game without l...
