Playstation 4 vs Xbox One on Self Publishing

Self publishing. We’ve seen what it has done for store fronts like the iOS app store and Steam. There’s been recent announcements that the PS4 is going to allow self publishing.

I can see the plus and minuses for both sides, really. We’ve all gone to the app store on an iOS...

Did GameStop Just Tell Us Destiny’s Release Date?

Just spotted on the GameStop pages for Destiny was an actual date for Destiny’s, not just the simple placeholder we’ve been seeing. It looks like Bungie’s gamechanging open-world FPS may be coming to us earlier then expected. June 30th, 2014. This makes sense, if you think about it.
