Juz Finished: Journey (PS4)




I played Journey before on PS3. I think it is a wonderfully crafted game. Simple but insightful and majestic as it explores many themes as you venture on a path that takes you from the initial point as you ascend to your destination.



Much have been debated whether 'Journey' is a game or just an interactive experience or art. Let's not have this debate as I dare say 'Journey' is all of the above and possibly even more.




I had repeated playthroughs on PS3 and when it became available on PS4, I gave it another go. The spruced up hardware made the game look and feel even better. My playthrough on PS4 is helped further by its social, share and connected-ness. I will not say more as the game is to be experienced first-hand. If you have not played Journey, now is the time to make the pilgrimage.

Juz Finished: Dead Nation Apocalypse Edition (PS4)



Dead Nation is a cult favourite on PS3 game developed by Housemarque when it released on PS3 in 2010. The Apocalyspe Edition is a reworked version by Climax Studios for release on PS4.  It is a top-down twin-sticks zombies shoot em up (shmup).



I got the PS3 version as one of the free games offered by Sony after the PSN hack. The PS4 and PS Vita version were issued free because of Sony Cross-Buy policy.




Overall, it is a fun, old-school action game, and even better when played with another player as local co-op on PS4.
