It seems like most people aren't aware about the fact that Sony has pulled the plug on Facebook on most of their consoles and services (maybe Sony´s changes hasn´t kicked in everywhere just yet?. Anyhow, we (The Gaming Ground) just wanted to inform the Gaming community about this.
Dealspwn: The latest in the long-running Tales series is currently on schedule to land later this year on PS3 and PS4. There's a sizable discount if you're content to play on PS3, but the PS4 price isn't bad for a new release either.
We don't expect the graphical upgrade on the PS4 version to be particularly noticeable given the animated style, so that cheaper last-gen version is looking pretty tempting.

"Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is one of those rare games that pays such close attention to the details of its world, characters, and systems, that you can be 100 hours deep and still discover new, exciting ways to play.

Keith Stuart:
"When I was a young kid first discovering video games in the early 1980s, I used to go to the huge Wythenshawe library in Greater Manchester, where I could rent Commodore 64 titles for 10p a week. Usually, I went home with piles of fighting games and shoot-'em-ups like Yie Ar Kung Fu, Green Beret and 1942. But one day, when someone had been in before me and grabbed all the popular stuff, I glumly picked up all that was left: a copy of Deus Ex Machina, the bizarre multimedia art game by Mel Croucher about the birth of a living organism within a vast computer. I was 12. I wanted to shoot stuff, I did not want to watch a fetus gestate in a databank while Jon Pertwee narrated a story about a mouse poo. But I played it anyway."
Multiple teams raced to the finish over the last seven hours, eager to complete the newest Destiny raid, Kings Fall. But only one group can claim first.
Tom Francis:
"Being an outsider to the Metal Gear series, I was only cautiously optimistic about V. All I heard about the last one was that it had 90-minute cut-scenes. I watched enough of one of them on YouTube to determine that it was not my cup of tea. Of V, Id seen some fun stuff in videos, but I was half-assuming the story would barge in and ruin it."

GR:
"Mars is the very first world you see in Destiny's opening cinematic, watching a trio of astronauts leave bootprints in the red dirt as they warily tread toward the the Traveler. At that point in our near-future, Mars looks like it does in all those pictures from the Curiosity rover. You won't see what it looks like post-colonization until later in the game, after you've grown accustomed to fighting through the remains of human civilization on Earth, the Moon, and Venus."
