We have been seeing an interesting trend of AAA console game releases offering lengthy demos to bolster interest.

I love my Nintendo Switch, but I’ll be the first to admit that Nintendo’s decision to play it safe with colors was a mistake. The gray looks good, the neon stands out, but I can’t tell you how quickly I would have dropped money on a red and black setup. Now Colorware is bringing that to reality, but it’s going to cost you…

Generally speaking, I don’t play on consoles. I’ve got a PC built with gaming in mind so when I want to have fun for a few hours, it’s spent on the PC. However, the one brand that has always had a spot plugged into a TV in my family’s home is Nintendo. We’ve bought the Wii and Wii U, and never regretted either one bit.
Then, came the Switch. When it first debuted, I was giddy with excitement just from the tech demoed alone. Then, I saw the gameplay. Still, I was somewhat skeptical. The Wii U didn’t quite meet my expectations, and it seemed like Nintendo was promising more than it could deliver with the Switch. Then, I got my hands on one… Long story short, I haven’t done much else since…

Sony’s monthly subscription service, PlayStation Now, allows gamers to stream hundreds of previous gen titles at no additional charge to PS4 and PC. Announced today, it looks like the 480+ game collection already available on the service will be getting larger soon. In fact, Sony has decided to bring PS4 games to the service but it has yet to give any details on the lineup or launch dates. It sounds as though it could be soon though as the PS4 side of things will be going into private testing “in the next few weeks”. And apparently “active PS Now subscribers” should “keep an eye on your email in case” an invitation appears.
We do know that all of the games on the service including the soon-to-be-added PS4 titles will be included with “a single PS Now subscription”. But here’s to hoping it doesn’t come along with a price hike.
