Xbox One and PS4 Almost Didn’t Get Battlefield 4 at Launch
There's been a rash of next-gen game delays recently, from Watch Dogs and The Crew to DriveClub, with the culprit generally being the steep learning curve with next-gen hardware.

That time is apparently now. Since the beginning, vehicles have played an essential role in the all-out-warfare experience that happens only in … [Read more...]
