Summary: IGN is a gaming company that reviews, and plays video games. IGN is one of the most popular gaming review companies out there today and it is localized in California. There also review tv shows that are popular and movies. This is where you for for all information on the games you want and movies you want to see.

The most highly anticipated game Uncharted 4: A thieves End finally had some gameplay to be shown as well exiting gamers everywhere. This is a podcast no an article.

"In a very special episode of the No. 1 PlayStation podcast on the Internet, Greg, Colin, and Altano travel to Toronto to do the show with Frank Furlano -- an IGN fan who requested the trio via the Children's Wish Foundation."
" Pre order the Limted edition to receive a Nathan drake collectable."

Reflection: The PlayStation experience is one of the biggest events Sony has to offer. I love the idea that they made a event for all the biggest exclusives to come out and show all the new trailers and gameplay. This event allows gamers to play all there favorite games and this is a great way to advertise for the new games as well. The thing I am most excited about is Uncharted 4 which was unveiled here at PlayStation experience. This is the biggest game Sony has to offer and the most popular and to see hands on gameplay of it makes me have goosebumps.

Summary: GameSpot is a very popular gaming website that gamers go to to view all types of articles and reviews on gaming technology. GameSpot very similar to IGN is one of the worlds top gaming companies that do video game reviews, and console reviews. This article is one of the top viewed post on there website because with the end of the year coming fast the game of the year nominees are starting. The game of the year is a award that one game for each console receives at the end of each year and it is voted on by many gamers and viewers. The nominees this year include the years most anticipated game Destiny, Shadow of Mordor : Middle Earth, Transistor, Far cry 4, and Dragon Age Inquisition. GameSpot wants to make sure everyone goes and votes and a new game of the year can be chosen. 

Quotes:
"The PlayStation 4 got off to a great start in 2014, but there weren't many standout exclusives worth raving about. "

"Ubisoft's massive open-world shooter Far Cry 4 gave players a wide range of activities to tackle in the wilderness of the Himalayas, if you were so inclined, and you could get into mischief with a buddy thanks to its flexible co-op support".

"These games and more made 2014 a great year for PlayStation 4 owners, but choosing the best of the bunch is a difficult task as a result."

Reflection: Game of the year is a very unique award that I enjoy being a part of every year. There is no better feeling then going out and buying a game then to see that game you enjoyed and loved playing win a nationwide award. Seeing that others around the worl loved playing that game just as much as you is so cool and a very good feeling comes every time you play the game. Game of the year is just around the corner, and although this year is definetly not as satisfying as last year and the lack of exsclusives are there it will still be a good vote between some of the years most anticipated games.

A flash back to the past.

Summary: IGN a very good and creative gaming organization gives gamers a home for information and solitude. IGN covers every gaming story when it comes to game reviews, consoles, or television stories. IGN in this article talks about Sonys newest advancement.Sony has reached its 20th anniversary and like always they have come out with a huge surprise to gamer fans. Only one year after Sony's new PlayStation 4 they have came back strong again unveiling a special edition 20th anniversary edition. This edition not only gives gamers a flashback to the original PlayStation 1 system but it also includes signature additions that made up those systems. Including the original red, blue, green and orange PlayStation logo on the top and also coming in the signature silver/aluminum color that once came in the original PlayStation 1 system. Sony also went through the time to give the dual shock 4 controller a new look. Having the original silver paint job and logo as well, the controller has Sonys signature button shapes on the touchpad of the controller. PlayStation has yet to reveal how people will be able to obtain this rare console and it will be announced later this week at the PlayStation Experience event.

Quotes: 
"The new model, which comes in the same 'Original Grey' finish as the very first PlayStation that launched back in Japan on December 3, 1994, will be available in extremely limited quantities for €499."


"Just 12,300 of the consoles will be released worldwide, to reflect the launch date of the original console."
"For North America, full details about how and where you'll be able to place a pre-order will be revealed at this weekend's PlayStation Experience, during the opening keynote that takes place December 6 at 10am PT / 1pm ET."

Reflection: Being a huge PlayStation gamer I think it is awesome for PlayStation to have released such a rare console. This is such a unique and good locking console and any owner of the luck 12,300 consoles being sold will be part of a history that has defined the gaming world. With PlayStation taking the lead over Microsoft this past year in the gaming world, Sony shows its love by giving us amazing and rare consoles and games that make all there gamers happy and true to the brand. PlayStation has hit it big in the special edition console department and I believe this special edition will be one of Sonys top selling consoles because of its unique look resembling the holy grail of gaming the PlayStation 1.
