One of the biggest games of the year — Marvel’s Spider-Man — is now out, and it’s exclusive to Sony’s console the PlayStation 4. The big question now is: does it live up to the hype, or does this spider turn into ash before it does anything good? Right out of the gate, I can […]
Reviewing the Sennheiser MKH 416 in 2018 requires a little creativity, to make sure that I’m adding something new to the conversation. You see, the MKH 416 has been in use for over 40 years, and has seen a hell of a lot of action from professionals in film and TV, in addition to being […]
Fortnite vending machines have been spotted in Fortnite Battle Royale. The vending machine’s function appears to be to allow players to trade raw materials, like wood, for weapons. This could help those struggling to find a weapon in the early game. Fortnite vending machines aren’t yet available through normal means. Twitter user @Markenny_king discovered the vending machines […]
While gamers can play multiplayer games with their TV speakers, more and more players are opting to buy and use proper headsets — and with good reason. Not only do headsets give off better sound quality than your standard TV speakers, they can immerse you in the action better as well. And if that’s not […]
While the Monster Hunter franchise has been alive and kicking for the better part of a decade now, it’s mostly been seen as a “Japanese” gaming franchise. Sure, past iterations made its way to the PlayStation Portable and the Wii, but for the most part, it went under the radar of core Western games…at least […]
Today we’re taking a look at the Elgato Game Capture HD60 S. This is not really a new product, as it’s been out for nearly two years now, but it is still the latest portable PC and console game capture device from Elgato Gaming, a company that I’ve trusted with my gameplay captures for over […]
This is Mack, here with a couple of KontrolFreek products. We have the PS4 versions of the FPS Freek Call of Duty: WWII Edition and the KontrolFreek Performance Grips. KontrolFreek did reach out about just the new WWII thumbstick addons, but then I went ahead and cheekily requested the grips as well, because my pad […]
Let’s get this out of the way first: if you’re reading this review expecting us to just lambaste Star Wars Battlefront II due to the microtransactions controversy, then you’ll sadly be disappointed. While we do touch on that a bit, the review focuses more on the actual gameplay and how it fares (a game reviewer […]
While there are dozens — if not hundreds — of TVs, monitors and the like available in the market, the same can’t be said for personal virtual theaters. Not familiar with those? I don’t blame you. Think of it as giant private screens that can display whatever you’re playing, watching, streaming, and more. Enter the […]
Rocket League burst onto the scene in 2015 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, and became an instant hit with its wacky premise of rocket-powered cars that played soccer (or football). Since release, Rocket League has made a name for itself for being a game that is both fun and casual, while also being […]
Note that with MP1st being a multiplayer-focused site, the major focus of the review is the multiplayer, though we do touch on the other modes and consider them in the overall score. Call of Duty: WWII is the franchise’s venerable return to its boots-on-the-ground formula that has made it the biggest video game property since […]
It’s been four years since we got a proper Gran Turismo game (Gran Turismo 6 for the PS3), and after a few delays, Polyphony Digital’s first PlayStation 4 game, and the first PS4 Gran Turismo title, races out with Gran Turismo Sport. Booting the game up, you’ll be greeted by a “welcome gift” automobile that […]
When I game, I’m either at the PC sitting on a standard office chair from IKEA, or I’m playing on console, while relaxing on a bean bag. My bean bag of choice for the past couple of years has been a standard small one. It’s done its duty well enough, but I’ve been looking for […]
SCUF Gaming has continued to push the envelope when it comes to custom PlayStation 4 pads. This year’s evolution takes the form of the company’s flagship “SCUF Impact”, a controller that has gone through a cosmetic redesign to allow for more features to be added. Prior to the Impact, SCUF’s PS4 range only allowed for […]
While fighting games can be played using a regular console controller, fighting game purists will argue that using a proper “fight stick” can’t be beat for pin-point precision when executing combos, special and ultra moves. Thankfully, there’s a lot of choices for those who want an authentic arcade experience at home. One of these said […]
Gran Turismo Sport is only a few months from release but a few of its licensed accessories are already out in the market including the Thrustmaster T300 RS GT Edition, an updated and Gran Turismo-licensed version of the T300 RS that was originally released two years ago. Aside from the addition of Gran Turismo branding, […]
When EA’s founder Trip Hawkins pitched the idea of an American Football game in 1984 to the legendary football pro John Madden, one of the only things demanded by the Hall of Famer was that the game is as realistic as possible. Four years later, what was known as John Madden Football at the time, […]
Now over three years into the current console generation, the PlayStation 4 has a larger presence than ever in the console eSports scene and has become the home of popular first-person shooter games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Destiny. So, it’s about time that gamers on Sony’s platform were introduced to a more serious eSports controller that could […]
It’s not very often a video game sequel surpass the original in nearly every category. While Titanfall 2 isn’t as groundbreaking as its predecessor at first glance, it easily improves upon all aspects and is one of the most impressive first-person shooters to release this generation. Respawn Entertainment is back again, now following up on its 2014 efforts […]
There’s no doubt about it. Today’s triple-A shooters are growing stale as developers more often than not rely on two periods of time to set their games in, be it the modern era or the future war. As of the mid-2000’s, whether it’s Call of Duty or Halo, if you’ve played one game, you’ve played […]
