What do we know about the PS4's controller ?


What is up people ?

So the dualshock 4 was released weeks before the console and having a good and close look at the controller we now know what to expect from Sony. The controller keeps its classic looks but due to the redesigned analog sticks it allows for the player to have more control over their actions meaning greater precision.

 The controller's vibration has been enhanced in order for you to really feel those intense moments when you're getting sniped or when you crash into a wall going at 200 mph.

 On the left side of the controller you will see a share button and it's the feature that I am most excited about. Finally people we will be able to capture those unbelievable moments that oddly enough no one was present to see.

 Just like the Xbox the PlayStation controller will now feature a built in mono speaker and headset jack. I think that this is a pretty good solution to the wireless crappy bluetooth headsets. Currently I am using the Xbox headset when I go online to play GTA V and the sound quality is pretty good, so I'm happy that Sony decided to go with some better gear for their next gen console.

 A fresh and original idea was brought by Sony to the next gen controller, the touch pad. At first I wasn't really sure about the idea of a touch pad on the controller because the first thing that came to my head at the time was the Wii U. But having seen the controller now I think its a pretty cool and original idea that will open a huge world of possibilities and a lot of cool games that make use of the feature.

The light bar on the controller looks so cool !!! The colour on the back of the controller will change depending on the situation that you will have to face in a particular game and I think it also changes depending on what number controller you posses. I don't think it'll get old that quickly and will catch people by surprise every time.

Battlefield 4 for PS3 and Xbox 360. Yes or No ?


What is up people ?

If you people haven't heard yet Battlefield 4 is coming out on the Xbox 360, PC and the PlayStation 3. For those of you people who don't know what Battlefield 4 is, it's basically one of the best shooters in the world. The game offers one heck of a multiplayer and its open world environment really bring the setting alive. The weapon selection is not too shabby and the vehicles provided are basically the things that keep you alive. If you've played Battlefield 3 then you know exactly what I'm talking about.

By releasing Battlefield 4 on the Xbox 360,PC and PS3 has its advantages and disadvantages. An advantage would be that the people who are not planning on buying a PS4 or an Xbox One in the near future should only get the game if they're a hardcore battlefield fan, but if you are planning in getting the console well then you should most definitely buy the game when you finally acquire a system of your choice. PC gamers jump right on that grenade. There is no doubt that the game will be one of the best looking games of 2013 and you should not be hesitant when buying this game. The game is worth every penny and its worth checking out asap. 

A disadvantage of the game coming out is that the graphics may not be top notch. I'm not saying that it won't look pretty just like GTA V looks on today's consoles but you might not receive the full experience that you would expect from a battlefield game. Take this into consideration people when you walk into a game store next time and see the game presenting its battlefield goodness.

What external hard drive to get ?

What is up people ?

For the past couple of days I have been dealing with a slight problem. Yes people its storage. My internal hard drive space is pretty low. I'm around the 60gb range on my laptop and I honestly don't want to erase anything. But come on how many memory sticks can we have ? So I decided to do some research on Amazon for some of the cheapest, elegant, sleek and best performance wise external hard drives. There are a lot of cool ones out on the market, but I found three that got my attention.


The first one being the Seagate 2TB expansion. The reason why I particularly like this product is its big storage. Its sleek and elegant design looks awesome accompanied by any computer and the price range is very attractive coming in under seventy-five euro. Its clean and simple but effective. The device is not USB powered and for some people that may cause hassle.



The next hard drive that I thought was quite cool is the Seagate 1TB expansion. The 1TB version is much smaller than its 2TB buddy and its design is totally identical but its got something to it. I think it may be the price range which is just under the sixty euro range. Its small and easy to carry around and looks good anywhere it goes. I think that its not USB powered people so if you are going abroad with this thing be sure to bring an adaptor.


I saved the best for last. The Buffalo Ministation is the one that I think is an obvious winner. The design on the drive is simple and tidy and the device is powered by the USB outlet so no external power will be needed. The device comes in just under a very attractive sixty euro and a two year warranty is included. With a 3.0 USB it enables faster data transfer and retrieval. All of these hard drives are ready to go once you plug them so I guess its convenient for all of us.

New content planned for GTA online !!!


What is up people ?

Since its launch Grand Theft Auto V has been gaining major recognition all around the world. Not long after that the online feature was released and it has absolutely taken the world by storm. The online feature has brought many people together or apart and its a great way to have fun when its a rainy Saturday night and you simply don't want to leave the house.

The guys over at Rockstar are very considerate when it comes to their players and their generosity is clearly shown by small gestures such as the free Elegy in the game's car website. The $500'000 cheque is also on the way.

Rockstar has announced that they will once again reward the player by releasing their brand new "Beach Bum" pack for free. The pack will include new weapons and new beach themed vehicles that will be available for use in both online and offline mode. The pack is to launch sometime in early November so keep your eyes open for that people. The update is also going to include some new tattoos, hairstyles and also new jobs that you and your online buddies will be able to enjoy. The content creator is also going to be a free and awesome feature that I bet most of you people are dying for.

The Wolf Among Us.



What is up people ?

Since the walking dead series has sadly come to an end most of you have been looking for something to fill that void of episode based gameplay. Well look no further The Wolf among us is literally among us.

The game is a series with five episodes based on the DC comic book series Fables. The characters are all out of fairy tales and they exist in the real world for instance the main character is called Bigby Wolf, and people refer to him as the big bad wolf. You know what I mean. I played the first episode and overall I think its an extremely addictive game with brilliant dialogue throughout. There's more control given to the player than there was with the walking dead series and the cartoon type graphics suit me very well. Every choice you will make in the game carries onto the the next episode major so choose wisely people and go with your instinct.

You can purchase all of the five episodes by purchasing a season pass or just pay as you go for the episodes that you want. The game is awesome in every way and I highly recommend for all of you gamers and well written dialogue enthusiasts to give this game a go and you can do that by downloading the free trial. The game is available on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.



The game will also be available on ios/android later this fall, which I will definitely be downloading as soon as it comes out. Each episode probably will be around the $4.99 range and with the amount of content that we get with this one I think the price range is reasonable.

Thanks for checking this out and I will have the Dead Trigger 2 review up tomorrow. Follow me on twitter @Jacob0527 for regular updates and news about the site.

inFAMOUS Second Son. Will it be amazing ?


What is up people ?

Its another one of those Friday nights and I'm thinking back to the good old days of console announcements and breathtaking game previews. At E3 there was a huge selection of games that I think caught us all by surprise. I was definitely impressed by all of the games that were on display but there was one that completely blew me away and that was Infamous: Second Son. The trailer was super crazy and I liked the relationship that is in existence between the two brothers. Tough love right ?

In the trailer we got see small parts of combat and the young protagonist puts a nice twist on the whole infamous series. The main protagonist is a rebel and I like him, he relates to many young people around the world that want to make a change. It seems like a pretty steady game and no doubt that it will feature fresh and strong story based missions, that will not be easily forgotten.  

The PS4 is only  28 long days away so if you didn't have the time to pre-order one and you're thinking about it now is your chance to jump on it.

There you have it people a small insight into what's running around inside my brain. Thanks for checking this out and follow me on twitter @Jacob0527 for regular updates and news about the site. Tomorrow I will have another juicy app review for you people so keep your eyes open for that.

What games get me into a festive mood ?


What is up people ?

The festive season is slowly making its way to all of us around the world.(Except Florida they just have sunny weather 24/7). The weather where I live is pretty crappy and its freezing almost everyday but I got great holiday favourites to keep me warm during these cold Winter months that currently dwell upon us or just me. The warmth of the PlayStation and Xbox is all I need and today I'm going to talk about the top games that never disappoint and are sure to put you into that festive mood.


One of my top favourites that I mentioned in some of my previous blog entries is Fallout 3. The game was released back in 2008 and its a game that just keeps on giving.  The game is content rich and only dedicated gamers will achieve one hundred percent completion. Unfortunately I am not one of them but one day maybe I'll be one of those people who achieve fame by completing a game such as this. I played this game so many times around the holiday season that all of the characters are beginning to feel like relatives. Its one that I highly recommend to all of you and it also has a very attractive price coming in at 10 bucks so look out for that one.


The second one that I think put most of you people into the holiday mood in the past and features all of the chilling action, crazy weapon mods and endless chests to loot is Borderlands 2. The Borderlands franchise has taken the world by storm and it had one of the best advertising campaigns of all time. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Borderlands franchise it basically is one of those games that has a unique selling point and the artwork is just magnificent. The dialogue is funny and it will challenge your gamer skills every step of the way. I think the game is around the thirty dollar range so if you want to try something different from the call of duty's and GTA's I honestly think that this is the one for you.


The third one that I picked as one of my festive favourites is The Elder Scrolls Five: Skyrim. I was lucky enough to get this for Christmas back in 2011. The tone that I received from the game is warm and mellow and those songs that play in the background are sure to put you people into the the whole Christmas Spirit. Again for those of you who are unfamiliar with the game, Its an RPG which will immediately grab your attention and immerse you into the world. Trust me people, from the second that you switch on the game everything that revolves around you will just stop. The game has won major awards all around the globe and its a masterpiece of this generation. For those of you who think that your console performance is weak or its not working to its full ability this is the game that will turn all of that around. Check it out especially that the Skyrim Legendary Collection is out now which includes all of the latest DLC's



These are my favourite top three games that I like to play during these festive seasons and they keep me going for an incredible amount of time. I hope that some of you take these awesome games into consideration and relate to me when  it comes to those games that we always crawl back to in the end. Let me know what games you people like to play because I'm open to suggestions.

The one that got away.


What is up people ?

It was just another Thursday night and I decided to head over to a nearby video game store. I flicked through a couple of games on the shelves, checked out some movies and just as I was about to leave there she was. The Queen of adrenaline and insanely sick jumps, Mirrors Edge protagonist Faith. I rented the game back in 2008 but I never bought it because the opportunity never really presented itself. After 5 minutes of reminiscing I was back at home and staring at the loading screen of the Mirrors Edge. Immediately I was overcoming obstacles, climbing buildings and hearing the sound of crunching bones as I timed that take-off just a little too quickly.

Right there and then I realised that this is one hell game that should not be missed. There are so many awesome used games out that are just waiting for you to pick them up so you should really take that into consideration next time when you think about purchasing a game for your collection.

That's all that I wanted to let you know people and tell me about the games that you've picked up recently. Thanks for checking this out and follow me on twitter @Jacob0527.

Rockstar compensates players due to server troubles.



What is up people ?

As all of you probably know Rockstar were off to a really bad start with their Grand Theft Auto online feature. Having played over 40 hours of online and causing mayhem, I can honestly say that the game runs better than ever and I don think that we will encounter any problems in the near future. (My crew is called EasyWriters so feel free to join.)

I'm guessing that the guys over at Rockstar felt really bad about the whole server crashing incident. As a result many players lost all of their progress and had no other option but to start their online careers all over again. Many people were majorly disappointed and those who deposited all of their dollars were left broke and begging for dollars.

Never fear people Rockstar with $500k is here. Yes people Rockstar have announced that each player who has logged in to GTA online during the month of October and has updated to the 1.04 patch  are entitled to the 500k. The patch that Rockstar put up is also going to fix the error when your purchased cars would suddenly disappear.

An update from Me.

What is up people ?

For the past couple of weeks I have been majorly busy as some of you may already know. My school work is beginning to pile up and there is a lot of pressure being put on me as it is my final year in high school and then I'm off to college. I am going to have a load sweet app reviews coming up in the next few days and I'm hesitant whether I should buy Beyond: Two Souls. The game has been getting some pretty mixed reviews but if you people want to see the review up on wordloops, let me know on twitter @Jacob0527 and its yours. I will also be starting an everyday news feature hopefully very soon. It will basically a small article on what's going on in the gaming and tech world so keep your eyes out for that one. Thanks for checking this out and I Thank All Of You for being such awesome followers. Follow me on twitter @Jacob0527 for further updates. Have a safe weekend and KEEP ON GAMING !!!

Jelly car 3. The review.


What is up people ?

Today's app review is a classic its called Jelly car three. I think that the Jelly car franchise is one that deserves way more recognition and is overlooked by too many people. For those of you who don't know what the jelly car franchise is about its basically a small car made of jelly that has to overcome various obstacles to reach its goal. Jelly car has been one of the first games that I downloaded to all of my ios devices and I was hooked ever since. 

Jelly car three has all of the components of an unbelievable and enjoyable game. The game is smooth and stable. I never experienced any lag while I was playing the game and sometimes I liked to push the game to its limits. The game runs excellent on every IOS/Android device so you shouldn't worry about it closing down on you.

The music that runs in the background creates a very calm and peaceful atmosphere. Sound in general is absolutely superb and I'm absolutely sure that most of the sounds made in the game are all by the same person which I thought was pretty cool.

Do not worry people if you think that the game will end in a very short ten minutes. The game is content rich and will surely keep you going for a very long time. Each level is different and you will find some of them challenging, but that's what makes a good game right ? The game is constantly being updated and it offers a very good and effective achievement system, which will just drive your hunger for those three gold stars. 

Along the way you will have certain items which will help you in reaching your goal such as a balloon and some tar which will enable you to stick to the walls as you make your way through a very challenging level. 

The game is just amazing all around and even though I think it comes in the $2.00 range it is worth every penny. I highly recommend this game to everyone and anyone who is looking for a game that is different and fun in almost every way. I give this game a big fat 10/10 for bringing back awesome memories and reminding us that not all games have to be violent in order for us to have a good time.

GTA online. YES or NO !!!



What is up people ?

Over the past couple of days we have seen a huge amount of complaints in relation to GTA online. Now that its working all of that is about to change. Yesterday I got to play for almost three hours without the server kicking me out and let me tell you this, It is one hell of a game. The game starts straight away with you engaging in a race with Lamar and you can bet a certain amount on it. After you have completed that race you immediately get thrown into the big bad world.

I have some tips for all of you gamers out there who will be joining the GTA community or already have but are struggling to make a couple of dollars. Tip number one. Deposit your money in a bank. That was the first mistake that I made when I joined the game. I robbed a convenient store and got around $2000 I was on my way to LS customs but my road was blocked off by some sort of a gang. (I don't even know what the hell that was it was so disorganised. One guy was sitting in the car, another jumping on the top of my car and the third one had a shotgun to my face.) But in the end they took all of my money and I was left for dead near a really crappy petrol station.

Tip number two. Find a sweet ride. The reason why you need to have an awesome car is simple. To get you from A to B in style. Rockstar were very generous when it comes to choosing your first car because they give you a lot of free stuff in LS customs. Insure your car and fit a tracker so you know where your car is at all times. Its free the first time the second it will cost you. When you park next to Ammu-Nation to do your weekly shopping I'm sure you don't want to hear your tyres screeching into the distance and your cars engine descending gradually as your enemy gets away with your wheels. No ? Well than hold down select and you get a pop up menu, go down to vehicle ownership and chose the option no one. That way the enemy will have no other option to blow your car up or hopefully not.

Tip number three. Use a headset if possible when robbing a convenient store. The process of intimidation goes way quicker than just pointing your gun at the target and its funny when the clerk cries and tells you to stop shouting at him.

Tip number four. Buy a garage you will need to store your collection of cars somewhere. So chose wisely. The only downside is the cheapest garage is $25'000 so that means you better earn some big bucks quickly otherwise you won't survive on the streets of San Andreas.

There you have it people some tips from your buddy Jacob. GTA online gets a big yes from me as it gives players a completely different experience to the main story and it also gives players a brand new set of missions to enjoy. So what are you waiting for go out there and play some GTA online. I'm on xbox so join the crew and we can show the world what wordloops is all about. The crew is called EASYWRITERS. We will do our own crazy things and mess around in Rockstar's unbelievable world. All are welcome.

Rockstar's servers put to the test.




What is up people ?

Yesterday Rockstar released its online feature for GTA V, but things didn't go as planned. Many people were majorly disappointed that they weren't one of the lucky few who got to experience those new online features, unfortunately I was not one of them. When I first booted up my game I had an option to go into the story mode or online by simply pressing A and that is where my journey was brought to an end. I simply got a message saying that the server was unable to connect and I should check my internet or something like that. I sort of expected that but I didn't want to believe it. I tried again today and I made some progress, I got as far as the character creation screen, so I'm going to take you through that right about now.

Once the game loads after a million tries, you get to a pretty cool character creation screen. Rockstar used a unique feature which doesn't allow you to create your own face to perfection but generates your character based on the grandparents and parents you decided to choose. Which I thought was sort of cool. After my character looked half decent I decided to set him free in the city of Los Santos. 

After you confirm your character you will be shown a pretty nice intro that introduces you to the various elements of the online world. You will then see the character that you have chosen sitting on a plane on the way to Los Santos and don't worry you're not alone you will see a friendly face waiting to collect you. So there you have it people a very short but detailed account of what you will experience in the first 3 minutes of GTA online. (Very exciting stuff huh ?)

Hopefully the servers will be better by the weekend and we will be able to enjoy a bit of GTA online. I will be setting up a crew online for GTA V so we can show the world who is in charge. I will let you know in a couple of days, so if you want to join just send me a request and "WE WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE".
