First Impressions | Playstation 4, EA Sports UFC & The Evil Within

Image
I’ve finally done it – I’ve made the leap to the next generation of video-games! This past Friday, my Playstation 4 arrived and… it’s different. In both good ways and bad if I’m being totally honest, but we’ll come to that. It’s taken some time to adjust from the layout of the Playstation 3 (I still own mine and it sits on the other side of the television, connected and everything), but all in all, I reckon I’ve made a wise investment. I managed to snag The Evil Within and EA Sports UFC games too, so I’ll be going into some detail on my impressions of these games, and future titles I’m looking forward to. Let’s do this!

I’ve noticed recently that I’m repeating and saying the same things over and over to friends and family alike about certain situations I find myself in, yet they seem to either go unheard, unnoticed, or maybe worst of all, taken onboard, only to be forgotten. Hence, this blog – I feel the need to write about some serious home truths, some ideals I believe in, and hopefully, some people may begin to understand me better. Me, Myself and I I like my own company. Period. Th
