Warframe for PS4 receives Update 13

Warframe on PS4 has been my current addiction, pretty much since the day I bought my PS4. For reasons I do not fully understand, this free-to-play game has sunk its hooks deep into me. So deep in fact that I willingly and happily spent real money to purchase in game money. You may think me a madman but I will gladly spend more money on this game if it continues to get updates like the last one.   The most recent update, number 13 for those counting, comes with a new...

Courtesy of Austin Griffith, I was able to get into the closed beta and spend some time with Dead Island: Epidemic, cutely abbreviated DI:E, and loved my zombie-filled island getaway. The competitive multiplayer formula in Dead Island: Epidemic is addicting. Dead Island:...

Octodad DLC We Would Love to Sea

Octodad is an absolute blast to play. The one complaint I could levy against it is its length. Flopping around as Octodad is so much fun that it is probably natural to to want even more of it.

Looks like it is time for the DLC then! What? No DLC has been announced? Looks like it is time for...
