Killzone shadow fall 3/10 Campaign is horrifically boring, and the multiplayer is a cluster fuck. The vita game is MUCH MUCH better. Game is gorgeous though.
NBA2k14 9/10 removed some stuff I need like multiplayer association but its the best looking launch game and it plays great.
AC4 10/10 So addicting/fun to go around as assassin pirate. Cut out much of the trash from 3, current day stuff is no longer awful.

Resogun 9/10 - Simply amazing. I love this game. Addicted to it.
KZ:SF - Single player 5/10. Terribly boring but pretty. Can't comment on multiplayer much. I think it will be much better from the 1 match I played. I was just confused on the objective.
Assassins Creed 4 - 9/10 Amazing game so far. Looks great, stable frames and easily my favorite since, and gameplay wise, even surpasses 2.
BF4 - Broken/10 Too scared to start it up anymore. Don't want to lose sp progress which although story sucks, I was having fun with. Will wait for fix before playing mp or sp.
Drive Club 9/10 Great looking stable frame rate. That adrenaline pump you get when you have a ton of points and are about to get owned by a cop. Demon's Souls of racing..

All this positivity for AC4 is interesting. I haven't bought one since AC2 and it has pirates...
You could probably add "wait" as a fourth rating for BF4. As in wait to see if it gets fixed, it doesn't even look like a rent to me right now based on the PS4 issues thread.

Thought I'd be playing mostly KZ:SF (6.5/10) but instead found myself sucked into ACIV (8.5/10). While not as pretty as KZ, I am kind of a grinder by nature, and sailing around and effing up unsuspecting ships, upgrading the Jackdaw, and rinse/repeat is how I've been spending my last two days.
Resogun is cool, but I am positively shit at these kind of games. (7/10)
I only buy Madden in years when the Seahawks go to the Superbowl. So it's a definite upgrade over my old copy of Madden 2005. But really, it hasn't changed all that much. (5/10)

Assassins Creed 4 Black Flags: 9
Thank fucking god this series is back on track. What a delightful game so far, enjoying sailing up to islands and seamlessly jumping off ship/back onto ship without any load times. Characters don't take themselves so seriously like bug up his ass Conner.
Resolution is really crisp and water and foliage look great. Huge improvement over AC3 in almost every regard.
Resogun: 8
I need to play this more, but it's not quite as addictive as I was hoping, voxels blowing up is cool and seems like a solid game.
Call of Duty Ghosts: 5
Campaign is the worst in the series and it has a pretty horrendous script
Don't really have much interest in multiplayer.
Battlefield 4:
I wouldn't fucking know since I can't even play Conquest, seriously disappointed in this crap so far.
Campaign - 6
Cheesy, forgettable and mindless.
Multiplayer - 0
NBA 2K14: 8.5
Great gameplay, pretty great graphics for the most part. Not happy with some of the players faces and the coaches look kinda bad still.
UI could definitely use improvement, but this is still a really deep/fun game.

Killzone 8/10
Initially I was hating the game, but once I started learning how to properly use the OWL and got to chapter 4, I started really digging it. I'm still not done and have yet to touch the online mode yet, but hopefully the ending chapters don't make me hate it like I'm seeing with others.
Flower 7/10
Enjoyed in on PS3 and I enjoy it on PS4 as well. My daughter is finally starting to play games and really digs it so far.
Resogun 9/10
Amazing effects and addicting gameplay. This is the first game I downloaded and first game I spent the first day with on launch day. Once I complete Killzone I plan to go after the trophies on this.
Contrast 4/10
I really tried to like this, but this game bored me to death. I can't believe Sony thought this was a good replacement for DriveClub for PSN+ members.
Next on my list is AC4 after seeing all the great reviews here and BF4 if they can patch the bugs.

Killzone: Shadow Fall Okay
Resogun Great
Trine 2: Complete Story Great
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Still playing, but I'm really enjoying it so far.
Battlefield 4 Couldn't say right now, because either my progress gets erased, or I get booted from a majority of matches.

AC4 is beautiful despite being cross-gen.
I actually find Battlefield 4 to look incredibly impressive in single and multiplayer, but it's beyond buggy, it's an absolute unplayable travesty, so it can't be recommended.
These scores are based on one week. I haven't actually finished all of these games yet. I've played Warframe the most, followed by NFSR. I have played 6 chapters of KZ and a few hours of AC4.
Killzone: 2/5 stars
Enjoyed the sharp, detailed visuals and general spectacle, but have some concerns about the overly boring and safe gameplay design and nauseating story. Needs more satisfying gunplay, which I found to be weak. Wish for better feedback when shooting someone. Feels like I'm using water guns.
Need For Speed Rivals: 3/5 stars
Some aspects of the visuals are very good, but it does seem to have a foot in each gen and the lack of 60 fps hurts it. The framerate is "locked 30", but seems to occasionally go below 30 to my eyes. The world design is fun and the game design keeps the action going at all times, but I don't like the constant pressure from police, would like a little more breathing room to dink around which is what I liked about burnout paradise and MW. Why are the cars constantly wet?
Assassin's Creed 4: 4/5 stars
Another game that has a foot in each gen, but still looks rather sharp. The gameplay is varied and fun. Ship combat is cool. Continue to dislike the VR premise of AC. Continue to dislike the inability to attack freely anyone I want, in a game that in so many ways feels like an open game. Still, a game of good scope and generally impressive implementation. If you like AC, this is the one to get.
Warframe: 3.5/5 stars
Bought several retail games but the majority of my PS4 time has been in Warframe so far, and for good reason. Mass Effect combat/asthetic in a dungeon crawler. Satisfying and fun gameplay with a nice feedback loop of mission and rewards. Always something else to strive for or some new item to build. Friendly community that actually voice chats on PSN. Some repetition, but if you like a PSO type game, that shouldn't be a problem. Rather bad framerate issues on PS4. Not moving to PC, though, because I prefer the PS4 controller, fledgling community, and PSN/share, as well as a good dose of "just because". Would be 4 stars or higher with a smoother framerate.
May get COD Ghosts on PS4 (haven't played a COD game since MW2, so why not) as well as Injustice. Will consider playing some DCUO for the first time in coming days/weeks.

I gave skylanders 10/10. I already played the 360 version, and its a fantastic game - better gameplay and a HUGE improvement in environment quality and variety. Its a great looking game even on current gen with lots more detail such as grass/foliage and every level is colorful and diverse. it reminds me of the best ratchet and clank games. It also has a RPG like vibe like grandia 2, with a colorful town with shop etc. Play on the Hard difficulty and its a real game, not just for kids.
The PS4 is a minor upgrade mainly due to the fact they did such a great job on the current gen versions. It looks much sharper at 1080p which makes the detail on the skylanders themselves MUCH better, they look real vs their figures since it really brings out all the features like the face. Environments are nicer and sharper but the colorful shaded artstyle means its not as dramatic an improvement as something like AC 4.
Game itself is VERY expensive once you buy a bunch of swap force figures, but I think its well worth it personally. You get to see your prior characters from older games (including giants) in even greater detail, and with a jump for all of them too.
Nice, maybe this will work
The users score here (for KSF) is pretty good if you read every post, but I think a lot of us have still been influenced by some and (bad done) negative reviews.
Killzone multiplayer is amazing. I've spent less than an hour on everything else combined because I launch into a warzone as soon as my system boots. I haven't even touched the campaign after the silly first chapter. Not interested.
Resogun looks amazing so far. I've only played about a half hour but I can't wait to dig into it.
I just started playing NFS Rivals and its really fun. The graphics aren't really anything special but it looks good enough and plays like you'd expect.

From the responses so far I have summarised that:
Killzone - ok but disappointing
AC4 - Surprisingly good, perhaps best launch game
BF4 - Broken.
Killzone is probably only disappointing if you really liked that sluggish unbearable KZ2/3 crap. I think Shadow Fall is pretty good, not great or anything but definitely a step in the right direction for the series. The maps being a little smaller and more focused might help, or more players I guess (that official warzone one is too little people and the game population is too low for any other playlists to be viable)

Killzone: Shadow Fall: Perhaps the most obnoxiously frustrating single-player campaign ever. Even the visuals disappointed me. 5.5/10
Battlefield 4: The game is broken and looks like an enhanced port from last generation. Glitches in single player and the absolute inability to play certain multiplayer modes. N/A because the game is unfinished.
Resogun: Fast, fluid, beautiful. Should have called it Defender 2013. I've been waiting for this game for decades! 9.5/10

Subject to change but...
Resogun - 9/10 - I love everything about this game except for the fact that I'm not very good at it.
Contrast - 7/10 - Fun little game, but does not have even an ounce of polish on it. Fun for what it is, which is an about 3 hour game. This is why PS+ is great though. Would not have given this game a second thought otherwise.
Flower - 8/10 - Downloaded this when it was free on PS3 and never touched it. It's cross-buy so I figured why not try it out. Turns out this game is great. Very relaxing, although I can see a lot of people not being interested. Definitely not the kind of game you show off to your friends.

Resogun is fantastic.
NFS is excellent.
Contrast was okay. Glad I didn't pay for it.
Warframe seemed kind of fun but also seemed extremely grindy. Stopped playing after an hour or two.

Killzone - Single Player - 8.5/10
- incredible presentation. definitely next gen.
- not buggy or glitchy, impressive frame rate throughout.
- OWL is cool and gunplay is awesome,
- Great variation in the environments
but
- The levels can be a bit uneventful
- Incoherent story
- small text
- Small selection of guns.
Resogun - 9.0/10
- Pitch perfect gameplay. As a launch title especially.
- Girlfriend loves it.
- Difficult.
- Beautiful.
but
- Environments are a bit samey due to voxels being basically all the same color.
- Bosses are a bit samey in design.

Battlefield 4 9/10 - I haven't played this game a lot yet, but it is a beautiful game. The SP mode has been a lot of fun and I've really enjoyed what I've played of both the SP and MP.
NBA 2K14 8.5/10 - Tremendous game on the court, which is what matters most. The MyPlayer mode is a little cheesy and I don't like the scripted elements, but I'm still having a lot of fun with this mode. I also don't like how much of the game revolves around Virtual Currency or the removal of create a player and the lack of couch co-op in MYGM mode. Those missing features take away from my personal experience and that's why it doesn't get a 9 or 10.
Resogun 8.5/10 - This a very simple and very fun game. There's not a lot to it, but it is very addicting. I'm having a blast with this one so far.
Contrast 8/10 - I love this concept of this game, but I wish there was more to the puzzles.
Madden 25 8/10 - More fun than I thought it would be. It's not on the same level as 2K basketball, but the ability to use couch co-op in the Franchise mode is a big deal to me, and I'm having a lot fun with the game.
Knack 7/10 - It can be fun at times, but it gets old kind of quick. Co-op definitely adds to the fun. It's an okay game, but nothing too special.
Killzone: Shadow Fall - I haven't played enough of this one yet. With all the games KZ has been put on the back-burner for me. I haven't tried the MP yet and have completed very little of the SP.

Been watching a tonne of streams, and I think the major reason for the love and hate is the weird difficulty levels. Some of the gameplay design makes certain areas very difficult, and others not so much. For people who are less versed with shooters or the franchise, I think frustration sets in quicker. But once you master the OWL and use its tactical benefits, it seems to be much easier. Aside from a few levels like the free falling segment etc, that are genuinely quite testing.
I think people who want a really difficult challenge, with no auto aim, a degree of tactical freedom and very little hand holding, will prefer it more than those who want something more structured, controlled and refined. Despite having less weighted controls compared to past Killzone's, the use of colour and change in art, it still appears to be the most hardcore orientated release of the entire franchise.

Call of Duty : Ghosts 8.5
+Best campaign since COD4(not just standard military like story of MW series, BOish with the much better and varied MW gameplay)
+Favorite basic MP since MW2 (just need spawns fixed)
+Huge graphic improvement from PS3, almost shocking from a game that was looking meh on PS3.
- Runs good for the most part, but still get that COD lag sometimes.
- Game didn't work while signed in to PSN the first day or two.
- PS3 -> PS4 upgrade didn't work so well alot of trouble with add-ons and DLC.
- Short campaign, not the shortest of the series(MW2=2.5 hours)
could have easily used another mission or two or extend a few of the special sections a little.
just for comparison
COD4 = 9.75-10
W@W = 8.5
MW2 = 8
BO = 7.5
MW3 = 7
BO2 = 8

Killzone: Shadow Fall 9/10 (8/10 for campaign, 9.5/10 for multiplayer)
The best looking console game around, hands down. Really fun singleplayer, multiplayer is like Killzone 2 but with more options + 60 FPS. Needs a few tweaks like chat in multiplayer and a cleaned up UI, but otherwise, it kicks major ass. Single player campaign reminds me of Half Life 2 and Resistance 3. Very underrated IMO.
NBA 2K14 810
Glorious graphics, fun as hell, easy to pick up and play, hard to master. It's missing some options from the previous gen versions but 2K15 should fix any issues. A great game that I enjoy practicing and getting better at.
Resogun 8/10
Really solid shooter. Modern remake of Defender. Gorgeous graphics, addictive gameplay, and FREE for PS+ members? Can't beat that.
Flower 10/10
Still as sublime as ever, and the 1080p/60FPS graphics update along with MUCH improved SixAxis control takes this near-perfect game and puts it in solid gaming heaven. It may not be for everyone, but damn if it isn't a great experience. It reminds me of an oldschool game where the idea isn't to finish objectives, but to experience the game and progress at your own pace.
Contrast ?/10
Still need to play this one.
I have almost every other good launch title but I haven't played them because I'm giving them away for Christmas. I will play AC IV on PC because it'll look way better on my PC at 2160P, possibly 3200x1800 if 2160P is too demanding.
Maybe I'll open up NFS Rivals because the PC version is trash. IDK. Gonna wait til BF4 is patched as well.

Killzone SF a solid 8/10 based on SP alone, I really like the pacing and more open level structure. Not to mention the visuals are simply the best I've ever laid eyes on, period. Haven't had enough time with MP, but I've been thoroughly impressed with what I've played thus far.
AC4: Haven't played enough of this yet, but already know I'm going to enjoy it as much, if not more, than AC2 (my favorite in the series). I can't rate it just yet, but will say that it running natively 1080p will ensure I don't forget about this title in the shuffle, it looks damn good.
Need for Speed Rivals: Another solid 8/10. The Dark Souls-esque experience system is nerve wracking fun, and playing with other racers (almost) seamlessly is great fun. The graphics are stunning in 1080p, and I seem to be popping this title in for incremental advancements at every chance I get.
Resogun: This game! 9/10. You all know the deal, and I don't need to say much. It's fine tuned, shooting bliss, graphical euphoria. Love it, just need to get better.
Contrast: Haven't played enough of this yet, but can say that I'm simply glad I have this game. It runs beautifully in 1080p, and it's slowly unwrapping a very interesting little story, a great game to unwind to after a long day, or as a palette cleanser.
COD Ghosts: 8/10. I like COD. They made a lot of adjustments to the leveling system, so many that I feel overwhelmed with the options available to me. I don't play many other modes other than MP, but I will go through the SP because I'm a fiend for 1080p gaming. My eyes can't get enough.
Battlefield 4: This product not yet rated. They need to fix it before I can give an assessment of its quality. I will say that the games I have successfully entered were excellent, the game is stunning visually. I played BF3 on PS3 for a very long time, and this is a dramatic improvement in the performance and visuals category. Now fix the network EA.

Killzone - 8, campaign is pretty good. Multiplayer is alot of fun in short bursts
Battlefield 4 - 0, Doesn't fucking work. Joining with a group of friends is a mess and can't play any map bigger than 20-32 players. Pretty much Team Deathmatch/Domination only--for that I would have gotten CoD
Assassin's Creed 4 - Haven't played much but it runs and looks way better than the previous AC's

I don't do a point scale in my reviews, but I'd rate them as such:
Killzone: SF - BUY
LEGO Marvel - BUY
Assassin's Creed IV - BUY
Resogun - PS+ BUY
Flower - Already own the PS3 version? Download for free!
I haven't even opened up my copy of Battlefield 4 from the Target B2G1. The others I highly endorse.

Smells like fresh rosebuds
Knack - Boring as fuck. Looks okay. An inoffensive piece of shit. Kuso out of Desu
Madden 25 - Football that is slightly prettier but not noticeably. 2008 Lions out of 5.
Killzone Shadow Fall - Never played a game in the series so I'm not emotionally invested. But a pretty fun time and it looks pretty. 120/80
Contrast - Really neat game, interesting story trumps boring mechanics. Drop Dead out of Fred
Resogun - Addictive shooter, impossible to put down PS4 GOTY. Defender out of 2013

Knack--7: I did not expect to enjoy this as much as i have. I am really digging it for some reason.
Resogun--9: So mindlessly fun. Played co-op and it was a blast
KZ--6.5: Graphics sucked me in just like all the others. And I am bored with it already; also just like all the others
Contrast-- waiting to play
Soundshapes--7: great beats and fun
I am thinking about trading in KZ for AC but I am nervous; hated the first 2 AC's so I am very skeptical

I haven't beaten any of these games:
Killzone: 7/10. Multiplayer brings this score up a lot. It's a ton of fun, the lack of voice chat is an odd choice but I don't know anyone else who plays anyway. I am not really enjoying single player outside of the graphics.
Knack: 5/10. I want to like it more. I like that it's challenging and it has really nice image quality. But the gameplay doesn't do much for me.
Resogun: 8/10. It's fun.
Contrast: ?/10. Haven't spent much time with it and I probably won't go back to it. I have too many interesting looking indie games on PC to bother. Don't like the controls or the art style.

Res0Gun - 9/10
Need For Speed Rivals 8.5/10
Knack - 6.5 or 7/10
I still need to play more Knack to make a full judgement.

This is without playing through the BF4 or Killzone campaign. I played about 30 minutes of each though.
BF4: 5/10 The game is broken. Would probably be much higher if it wasn't so messed up!
Killzone: 7/10 I feel like the multiplayer could definitely be better.
Resogun: 10/10 Solid game even if I did pay for it, it'd be fine. The gameplay is fun, there is nothing I feel I am missing. It's as good as I'd imagine a game like this, which is really good. Perfecto!
