Just What IS the PlayStation TV?

Games Electronics

Add a comment By Andi

With all the buzz surrounding the release of the PlayStation TV next month, we thought we'd delve into the device and go into detail as to just what it actually does. Looks can be deceiving, and as small as this thing is, it packs A LOT of features into it.

Originally released in Japan as the PlayStation Vita TV, the device has a lot of similarities with Sony's latest handheld game system. To save confusion though, dropping “Vita” from the title when releasing to us folks in the West still sees this awesome little product making its way into our studies, bedrooms or rumpus rooms.

So let's get into it.

The Orion Spark... Logitech's RGB Keyboard of Awesome

Add a comment By Andi

Logitech have always offered an amazing range of computer peripherals in headsets, mice, keyboards and beyond. Now the G910, more affectionately known as The Orion Spark takes the gaming keyboard to a whole new level.

Meeting a perfect balance between form and function, durable construction also ensures Logitech's latest keyboard will take anything you can throw at it. And interchangeable palm rests and a custom key design ensures you'll do just that in absolute comfort.

Intelligent lighting throughout the board allows you to customize and isolate your preferred gaming zones, whether it's for FPS, RTS, MOBAs, MMOs or any other collection of letters you want to throw together. And with 16.8 Million colours to play with, we're sure you'll find a lighting scheme that'll suit your style of play and personality.

Dropping the bulky LCD screens from previous models, the G910 works directly with your smartphone the the Arx Control App. Monitor your computer's per­formance, remotely control your media, or receive in-game info from supported titles. There's even a mount for your smartphone, designed to fit any size – so even if you're not using the app, you've still got a sweet parking spot for your phone.

Mighty Ape visit the 2014 Tokyo Game Show!

Games Collectibles

Add a comment By Ben

Phew! Tokyo Game Show this year was enough to make your head spin, in a good way! These are truly exciting times to be a gamer.

Mighty Ape were lucky enough to get to attend this years Tokyo Game Show on a business day, which meant we could avoid the crowds and get our monkey mitts on some of the hottest games heading our way soon!

It is hard to know where to begin, so I guess I will just dive right in. First things first, let's talk about The Evil Within (named Psycho Break in Japan). It was EVERYWHERE. Every nook and cranny outside Makuhari Messe (the giant convention centre in Chiba where the Tokyo Game Show is held), as well as everywhere inside too – the marketing budget must be HUGE, which means Bethesda are banking on it being a success. I got my hands on a playable demo at the Sony booth, and can safely say this game deserves to be HUGE. It feels like what Resident Evil should have become – a slick psychological survival horror, not the action laden bullet fest the franchise has become. If you long for the time when survival horror meant just that – surviving the horror, then The Evil Within is for you. You can watch the brand new trailer unveiled at TGS here. The Evil Within is out next month on PC, PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360, so lock in your pre-order, book your time off work, and get ready to scream!
