'Persona 4' the Golden Animation!
When I first purchased my PS Vita, I had no idea the endless amounts of joy and excitement I would get out of it. Naturally, after opening the package from Amazon I had begun to look at different games I could purchase. My eyes immediately went to Persona 4. Not only was it a mere 20 dollars, but it also had amazing reviews from the people that had played it. Usually PS vita games are a little more than 30 bucks, so I was delighted to be purchasing a game that was under the usual price range. I recently finished Persona (after literally 3-5 weeks of nonstop playing) and let me tell you...this might be one of the best roleplay games out there! When I had first finished the game, I was not satisfied with the ending I got, so I jumped on the internet to console an ending guide. After a brief reading of the guide I then knew what I had to do. Play the game all over again. A good thing about this game is that once you complete it the first time some of the stats that you earned from your previous play through will be applied when you restart the game! So it's not like you start all the way over, it actually makes the game a little easier. The stats that you acquire during this game along with the character development that comes along with it really makes this game unique. I really enjoyed building up the protagonist's stats, because when my stats were at a certain level, I was able to interact with other minor characters and also engage in certain dialogue choices with the main characters. Even though there is a set story line in the game, the creators of the game made it to where the player can pick and choose which aspects of the story they want to incorporate into their game play.

10 Best Gifts for Gamers in 2018
Getting gifts for gamers can be, admittedly, kind of tough. There are so many options out there, and so many different types of gamers. Most people fall into one of four categories: Xbox lovers, PlayStation gamers, Nintendo fans, or PC gamers. Lots of people play more than one of these, but everyone has their mainstay. I, for example, mainly play on Nintendo consoles, but also play a lot on my PC, and plan on getting a PS4 Pro soon. But if I could only have one, I'd probably pick my Nintendo Switch. My birthday isn't that far away, so I certainly wouldn't mind if the important people in my life picked up one of these to gift me. If you know a gamer who has a birthday coming up, or another important holiday, consider one of the following.

Why Rocket League is Underrated
Rocket League is a physics-based game involving a mixture of racing cars and the classic game of soccer. The game already has 'Very Positive' reviews on the Steam Platform for PC, along with a large amount of players on both consoles and PC/Mac. So why is it not talked about? While Rocket League cannot compare with video game giants such as Call of Duty, Battlefield, or Assassin's Creed Series, the indie racing-sport game offers a lot those cannot. The first being graphics. A lot of games on PC are limited depending on the hardware and graphics of the computer or laptop. Newer games such as Assassin's Creed Origins or Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege require a large amount of storage and high-quality graphics for smooth gameplay. With Rocket League, minimal graphics cards are needed (although recommended to see the full beauty of the game), making the game available to those with older computers with inferior hardware.Secondly, the game offers minimal DLC. What this means to a lot of gamers is having to pay extra money to get the full content of a game. Rocket League only has DLC and micro-transactions for things such as cosmetics, crates, and fancy cars. Like Overwatch's take on micro-transactions, nothing a player pays extra into DLC can directly affect a player's performance (unlike Star Wars Battlefront II). Many of the basic cars given in the full game are nice, cool looking, and don't leave players itching to pay an extra three dollars on a DLC car.Thirdly, the game is fun. While it will be frustrating at first, the game is very difficult to get a hang of. Jumping straight into multiplayer isn't the wisest thing to do, but rather practicing against bots in Exhibition mode. Once the basics are mastered, the game becomes a lot more fun and inviting in the multiplayer setting. Playing with friends is a bonus, as some games require extreme teamwork to increase camaraderie, and often a lot of blunders that leave gamers laughing hysterically. Gamers don't necessarily have to enjoy playing soccer or watching it to enjoy playing this game.The only negatives to the game is the excessive use of coded chat and toxicity of players (that typically comes with every competitive game). Luckily, Psyonix Inc. has taken toxic behavior very seriously, as a report on racist, sexist, or disgusting behavior will not be tolerated. This makes the game a lot more fun, care-free, and competitive in a healthy manner. Rocket League is hardly talked about except by those heavily invested in the game. While some advertisements have been released on television, the game is not very much noticeable on Steam unless during a sale. With the cost at only $19.99, Rocket League opens up gamers to an indie experience of the beautiful mixture of physics, racing, and the wonderful sport of soccer.
