You’ve likely heard these names before Sony’s still working all the 2014 out of its system. More than two week into the new year (practically the “old year” at this point), and PlayStation Blog’s still trickling out the best performers of 2014. This time it’s the PlayStation Store’s top-sellers that are thrust in the spotlight.Destinymoved the most digital copies on PS4 which was probably to be expected given the giant marketing push....

Ah the old ‘pull out your ethernet cable’ trick Back in the budding days of online play, before ranking systems and anti-cheat measures were rampant, sore losers clung to anything they could to game the system. The easiest strategy? Yank out your ethernet cable when you’re about to lose. Classic. That method has come full circle in this newPokemon SwordandShieldexploit, which basically involves the same concept. According to multiple users on ResetEra (and folks on Twitter), the idea is to press the power button at the exact right time right after losing an online match....

2 versus 2 player co-op Last night I got to play a round ofPush Me Pull Youduring the Venus Patrol party here in San Francisco. It was, without a doubt, the weirdest and best time I’ve had with a videogame in a long time. So here’s the basic premise. You and a partner each control one end of the “sports-monster,” a conjoined humanoid Catdog like person. You’re going up against two other players in control of the same thing, and to win you need to keep control of a ball on your side of the court the longest for multiple rounds....

I never thought I’d playRise of the Triadmultiplayer again, and I especially didn’t imagine I’d be playing it at QuakeCon with others right beside me. It’s a surreal thing butRise of the Triadis coming back thanks to some loyal fans at Interceptor Entertainment and a reformed Apogee Software. Though I only got to play a pre-alpha build for a couple rounds, I got a good sense of the direction that this reboot is taking....

Episodes 4 and 5 still aren’t out Republiqueis such a weird project. It was released on iOS in December of 2013, as an episodic series spanning five chapters. Episode 4 and 5 still have not been released to this day, but the franchise made the jump to PC, and PS4. It got to the point where I completely lost interest in the story somewhere in 2014, and now, Atlus and NIS America are partnering with GungHo to produce physical PS4 versions for North America and Europe in early 2016....

Supposedly features dragon riding, more WithDawnguardandHearthfirewell out of the way, it seems that we’re due for someSkyrimDLC, right? That is,unlessyou’rea PS3 user. Well, some crafty PC players fromthe Bethesda forumslooked into the files of yesterday’sSkyrimbeta update and found something worth of note. Particularly, some keywords found in the filenames include “DLC2” and “DragonMounted.” Okay, that second one has me standing at attention. People are speculating the new content will be titledDragonborn(as hinted, again, by the filenames), will include dragon mounting, and might even take you toMorrowind....

‘I would like to replace it for one that is not cut in half’ The FTCreported last monththat they had found “Warranty void if removed” stickers, which have been used for an age to prevent consumers tampering with their electrical goods, to actually be a violation of law, specifically the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. After receiving a grumpy letter from the FTC, Sony have announced that they have updated their warranty terms in the United States and Canada accordingly, with some compromise....

And Bowser has a pimp ride In this morning’s Nintendo Direct, CEO Satoru Iwata revealed a whole bunch of new abilities for Mario and crew in the upcoming Wii U platformer. By picking up a cherry, you can clone your character several times. Kuribo’s Shoe is back, and it can be used to skate on ice, and you’ll also be able to wear costumes to disguise yourself as Goombas or carry Piranha Plant pots to have them attack enemies for you....

I’ve encountered what I think is a bug inSuper Mario Galaxy 2. I found it by…dying. A lot. And I don’t think this is a level-specific thing either. It just happened to me in world 6, in a stage where you use Rock Mario (awesome, BTW) to continuously roll through an insanely difficult obstacle course floating in space. It was mostly me falling off platforms, as Rock Mario is easy to oversteer....

Kind of likeSelacobut not quite as flashy and also available now. It’s being constructed by prominentDoommodders. I have the early access, but I’ve not made it much further thanthe second mission. That’s not a condemnation. I just got distracted and haven’t gone back....
