Summary of Source: IGN is a very large gaming website and company that makes video game reviews and reviews other media systems. IGN reviews all the big time games coming out as they are bound for release and The Order 1886 was its next matchup. PlayStations most anticipated game of 2015 is coming to its release on Friday and IGN doesn't seem to think its as good as everyone thought. This particular article states that it is a mediocre game and it lacking many elements such as smooth gameplay, and good camera angles. They describe that during in game battles the camera slide off to much and you cant see whats in front of you. The review does state some good things as it says the story is amazing and the beauty of the world is untouchable.

Quotes: "Though absolutely gorgeous and wonderfully atmospheric, The Order: 1886 is a deeply conflicted thing. "

"The Order is thick with exquisitely detailed environments that showcase the grand opulence of London built atop poverty-stricken slums."

I am strongly disappointed with this review because I was so excited for this game to come out. The order 1886 was one of my most anticipated games of 2015 and I couldn't wait to put my Playstation4 to its limits with the amazing graphics in the Order. Even this poor review wont stop me from buying this game. If the order can provide me with a great story mode third person shooter then I am getting it, and it looks to do just that. Although it might have a few in game bugs theres no beating the gameplay I have seen on youtube and the amazing trailers for its story. Cant wait for Friday to come.

IGN is a highly trusted and unique website that not only reviews games but also movies, and TV shows. This particular article is there top 25 for the year so far of PlayStation 4 games. The top 25 is a very important part of every gamers life. We our more then excited to see what these top editors and reviewers are rating our games. The top 25 lets us know which games are the ones to buy and which ones are the the ones not to buy. Without amazement the last of us took home first place. This game has won nearly 20 game of the year awards and more then 50 awards in total. Naughty dog the lead developer for the last of us has been making amazing games ever since they started there Uncharted franchise. There are by far the most successful PlayStation game making company of all of them. Some of the big games not making the list were the Order 1886 which was a huge surprise for me because had playing that game i believe it should of been in the top 5.

"With a lot more time having passed since the PlayStation 4's launch, its library has expanded, and strengthened, considerably."

"The Last of Us is an unmitigated, undisputed masterpiece, arguably last generation's greatest game on any console, and perhaps one of the best games of all-time, too. "

I am a little disappointed and unamused of this years top 25. I would of loved to see a new game take the victory in this years list. Don't get me wrong The last of us is still probably the best game out there to this day and it deserves every award it gets, but the constant victories are ruining all my excitement for game list. I always know that the last of us is gonna win and it ruins it for me. I would like to see a game like the Order 1886 take the thrown because it deserves it. Having unbelievable graphics and a amazing story the Order 1886 is the best game right now.

Summary: IGN is a very high trusted video game website that consist of video game reviews and amazing commentary on games and shows. IGN constantly puts up stats on this years video game sales and console sales. This article in particular shows the recent sales update on the PlayStation and xbox one. The PlayStation 4 once again took supreme on the top selling console for the month of January.

"As to be expected, the NPD Group today revealed that overall video game hardware sales in the US declined by 23 percent, spurred by slow sales coming out of the holiday season."

"The current-gen PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles finished a combined 22 percent under last month, while combined sales of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 decreased by 35 percent."

Reflection: I completely understand why PlayStation is leading the sales once again. It is by far the best system out of the console wars and of the next generation. Being a PlayStation gamer I enjoy playing this system and understand why it is the best selling console of the month like it has been five months in a row.

Summary of source: IGN is a very trusted video game company that is home to great video game reviews, and TV show reviews. This particular article describes the final review for the anticipated game dying light. Dying light is a open world zombie killing game that puts park kor and killing together in a cool action adventure game. The final review that finally came out shows just how successful this game franchise became and how many fans and supporters it came to have. Dying light has a bright future ahead of itself as long as it keeps making games that consist of good open world game play, and a compelling experience for gamers.

Quotes:
" Combining first-person, Mirror’s Edge-esque parkour with open-world, zombie-brawling RPG action (a la Dead Island), Dying Light’s monster-infested, ramshackle slum is filled with possibilities."
"Like their grotesque inhabitants, the slums of Harran aren’t particularly pretty, or even that distinct – one corrugated-tin rooftop feels like any other, really. "

Reflection: I completely agree with how IGN reviewed this game. I actually played this game with some friends in a co op experience, and it was unlike no other. Filled with action 24/7, smooth game play, and great graphics dying light didn't disappoint as one of the most anticipated games of 2015. Being a huge dead island fan dying light shows that not just one game creator has what it takes to make a good zombie game and they expanded the idea with fast pace action unlike then dead island games.

Summary of source: I am so happy with this recent partnership between sony and spotify because the ability to play games and listen to your favorite music is genious. Spotify is a very popular app on iphones and androids today and now that it will be on my favorite gaming console just adds to the great experience that spotify already gives me.

Summary: IGN is a very trusted internet website for gamers to view game reviews, tv show reviews, and articles on there favorite games. This particular article talks about the upcoming event Evo 2015. Evo is a huge gaming tournament that gamers worldwide go and compete in with games like Tekken, mortal kombat, super smash bros, and street fighter. A huge grand prize is won at this event and every winner gets much a ton of respect for winning a tournament like this. Tekken 7 will also be making a appearance on a arcade platform because it is not released officially yet for consoles.

Quotes: "This year's Evo will take place at the Bally’s / Paris Las Vegas in Las Vegas from July 17-19, with discounted hotel rates available from the official booking site. " 

"Thousands of players descended upon the Westgate Las Vegas Resort last year to compete for glory across eight games during Evo 2014. "

Reflection: As a gamer Evo is a very cool tournament to watch live streamed. There is very exciting thing about watching gamers fight in games that are so close and so intense. In fighting games like these the matches tend to be very close and come down to the wire, so seeing thousands of dollars be placed on a battle and then someone lose is very exciting and depressing. It is a very cool event and hopefully more games can be put in tournaments like this worldwide so we can gaming out there.

Summary of source: IGN is highly trusted gaming review and gaming central website. Home of TV show reviews, movie reviews, and amazing game play of over a 1000 games. IGN is a great place for gamers to go and view articles and videos of there favorite systems and games. This article in particular brings out the best in PlayStation highlighted there signature game. Uncharted, Naughty dog's beloved game that has led them to the top of the game developing world is on its way. Recently at the PlayStation experience we had seen our first look at game play for the game. As always the game stunned viewers looking as beautiful as ever, and as exciting as they all are. Naughty dog is now saying is that demo was actually ran at 30 fps and they might not be able to make it 60 fps as some of the newer games are doing. If 60 fps effects the gamers experience they will keep it at 30 fps and not take the risk. Last of us the last game naughty dog released was made at 60 fps so I'm sure they will figure out a way to make it work.

Quotes: 
"Uncharted 4's game director Bruce Straley says the game won't run at 60 FPS if it harms the player's experience."

"For context, every PS3 Uncharted game ran at 30 FPS. The re-release of The Last of Us on PS4 ran at 60 FPS."

Reflection: Uncharted is honestly the best game to ever be created on any game console. I can count hundreds of people who agree with me and would never even question it. Naughty Dog could honestly run this game with tons of problems and it will still end up being the great uncharted games we have always known. Naughty dog I believe will find the way to make it run perfectly on 60 fps because if they can do it for the Last of us then being a similar type game it should work just fine. Uncharted 4 is coming soon and gamers including me are literally melting away just waiting for it. This is the game that puts PlayStation on the map, and the only game franchise that we can be proud about as a exclusive to Sony. Cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!
