I might as well start us off here with a double-header.

Since getting my PS4 last weekend, I've been playing, (and I've completed) two games.
Infamous Second Son and Wolfenstein, the New Order.

Let's start with Second Son:

If you're not familiar with the franchise, Infamous is about a group of people that have a genetic predisposition for super-powers. The first two were centered around a guy named Cole who could harness electricity. The first took place in New York, the second in New Orleans (post Katrina). Second Son is centered around a guy named Delsin in Seattle. All three are open world games.
The game allows you to either be a vigilante with 'Bad Karma' or a Hero with 'Good Karma.'

I was a big fan of the first two. Cole was an easy character to like and the games were entertaining, (although a little repetitive).

The protagonist, 'Delsin' is not easy to like, at all. He's actually kind of a douche.
His super powers center around smoke and fire, however you acquire other powers as the game evolves. I won't delve into what powers because they didn't make much sense to me.
The game was obviously originally made for last generation consoles since the story and gameplay mechanics were very similar. However, since it was one of the very first PS4 games, it does try to show off what the console can do. Lasers, Neon lights and fire are so impressive. The sound effects and soundtrack is excellent and the graphics wowed me. It's a beautiful game with a good amount of detail. Things like paper flying in the air when you cause en explosion and embers floating in the air after a fire. Just awesome.

Well, that was the positive. The negative is I beat the main story line in this game in roughly 8 hrs.... (And that was with a lot of side quests).
When I played through a second time, I did it in just over six.
The first infamous was nearly two times longer. IIRC
The story line was sub par at best. A little boring, honestly.
Delsin really is a ****wad. Especially when you play with bad karma and become a vigilante.

The game is playable and very good looking. All in all I enjoyed it and there's a lot of DLC out now which helps. The side missions are far too repetitive but they add another 3-5 hours of boring gameplay.
I give this game a solid 6.5. Kind of like a BJ from an ugly girl.

Wolfenstein the New Order:

I just finished this action-packed FPS. As a fan of the original Wolfenstein from the mid 90's, I couldn't wait to play this even though I've grown to hate the FPS genre.
The game centers around our old hero Capt. William "B.J." Blazkowicz and his undying hate for "Those Nazi ****s."
This is the first Wolfenstein I've played and enjoyed since the original Escape from Castle Wolfenstein. The other games in the series weren't all that good. I did have high hopes for this one from all the online hype and the game trailers.
Let me say... It delivered. BJ is one mean, funny, hardcore badass. The Nazi war machine was literally just that. Giant mutant super soldiers, robotic hell hounds, gigantic Mechs that shoot lasers and a disfigured nazi fräulein.
Just wunderbar.
The storyline is as follows: BJ and his crew get captured on one final push to a German fortress. The games antagonist, General Deathshead is performing inhumane experiments on pow's and asylum prisoners. In the beginning, he makes BJ chose one of his two war buddies for an experiment that will end in death. Choose carefully, btw. The game doesn't make huge wholesale changes between the two but things do change.
(I played both)
Of course you have the huge, epic boss fights SS and all things Wolfenstein. New guns, an all purpose plasma cutter/pulse laser. Armor and health packs galore.
Lots of Easter eggs in this one, btw. One of which is and. BJ takes a nap on a certain bunk and you're suddenly playing a reboot of the original Wolfenstein from the 90's.
The story is great, the action is awesome and the scenery/graphics really show off the next gen.
My one gripe? I beat it in about 7 hours but that's about average for a FPS. However, the replay-ability is high. I truly enjoyed this game. From the battles in 1940's Germany to 1960's London. Oh, get this... You get to walk on the moon. It was a beautiful addition and very convincing.
All in all, a solid pickup if you have the dough. You really can't go wrong if you're looking to waste a day in front of the tube, blowing shit up and drinking beer.

I give this title a solid 8. Give it a try. Used discs are going for 30 bucks now.
