This battle between snipers goes through many stages, all of them hilarious. At first, I’m expecting MoneyLoo to land a crazy shot off a camping sniper through the tiniest crack between stacks of crates.

I’m Finally Starting To Like It When The PS4 Controller Talks
Ever since I started playing games on my PS4, one thing about the console’s controller has always stood out to me. It makes a lot of noise.

Nice! The excellent action/platformer Shovel Knight is coming to PS4, PS3 and Vita. Also, it looks like a certain God of War will make a cameo appearance.
