3 new games for the new PS4

With the launch of the PlayStation 4, we can start welcoming in a new generation and standard of video gaming. We're promised stronger graphics, deeper levels of content and hardware that can serve a multitude of purposes outside of just gaming itself. And while there are many who will love all the connectivity and home entertainment possibilities with the PS4, if the games don't measure up, what's the point?

To that end, here's a roundup of three of the top launch-day titles available for those who need to get their PS4 fix on right away.

The Verdict As we've learned, more shooter franchises are spending more time developing exciting multiplayer experiences at the detriment of single-player campaigns. Shadow Fall embraces this trend, almost to a fault. The once-great franchise saw better days when it had compelling narrative, and now with a shallow story and expanded competitive modes, it just looks like all the other first-person shooters. Franchise fans will enjoy it, but newbies may be less intrigued.

The Verdict I held out reviewing "Ghosts" so I could experience the PS4 version first. The story comes off thin, but I will absolutely vouch for the outstanding setpieces and environments where these dense firefights take place. I wish the characters gave me a little more reason to care, but the co-op mode is fantastic and the tweaks to the multiplayer modes make this an easy recommendation for PS4 owners.
