Sony Computer Entertainment

Today's article is on the creator of the most bought console in the world: Sony Computer Entertainment

The company was created Ken Kutaragi in Japan in 1993 by but was on the video game market in 1991, even before the creation of the PlayStation game system.
Sony Computer Entertainment expanded in North America in 1995, as a "publishing" affiliate. Others affiliates are in Korea, China, Europe and Oceania.
In 1997, the whole company was restructured.

The PlayStation system was launched in Japan in 1994 and had a incredible success; in fact, SCEI sold more than 400 million console worldwide. This system has evolved, from the simple PlayStation, the first we all know...

to the newest version, the PlayStation 4!

SCEI also produced portable version of the PlayStation: the PlayStation Portable (left), also known as PSP, and later, the PlayStation Vita (right), also called PSVita.

However, in Japan, there is another console that Sony created around 1998 but never reached Europe: the PocketStation. It was more an accessory for the PlayStation than anything but there were games available, mostly through download directly from the PlayStation.









SCEI created tons of games worth naming but I'll keep it to the most known and enjoyable.


One of the that came to mind is one we all played at least once: Spyro the Dragon,where the gamer play as this little violet dragon, who's able to breath fire, break walls or enemies with his horns. Maybe it's because Spyro is quite young (dragons leave way more older than humans) but in most of the games, Spyro is unable to fly and can just glide.











Another game we loved to play is Crash Bandicoot. In this game, we play as a orange marsupial whose mission is to stop Doctor Neo Cortex, who want to conquer the world with mutated animals.








There is also the game Lemmings, in which we must control several little beings, giving them orders to reach the exit, by climbing, digging, building and sometimes, even exploding.

















Another game worth naming is God of War, in which the player embodies a half-god: Kratos. The mission of this tormented man is to have revenge on the gods and more importantly, kill his father Zeus, and he's ready to sacrifice anything to do it.


















 Changing console, on PSVita a game we can name is Gravity Rush. Here, an amnesic girl, later named Kat, has the power to change the direction of the gravity, allowing her to fly/fall, levitate objects and run on walls. Those powers are given her by a special cat whose origins and nature are unknown.











And of course, we can't talk about Playstation without naming inFamous, one of the best game created by Sony. In inFamous, we incarnate a man who, after an explosion, is given electrical powers; we can choose to use them for good or bad, which make this game special. Those powers allow us to levitate, slide on rails, heal people, launch electric grenades.








Let's not forget about speed's fan, who surely loved Gran Turismo, a racing game reputed for its quality and the sensation given to the player, making him felling like a real racer. It's one of Sony's most sold game.







And that's all everyone!
