Review by Matt S. Of the many HD remakes we’ve seen this generation this one I don’t quite get, though I’m certainly not complaining of its existence. While Soulcalibur 2 is arguably the finest game in the franchise, it’s impossible to argue that the current generation’s Soulcalibur 5 is a…

Knack/platformer/PlayStation/PS4 Review/Reviews/SCE Japan Studio/Sony/Sony PlayStation 4

Review by Nick H. Knack was one of the two retail Sony exclusive titles that were carrying the PlayStation 4’s launch hopes. The problem is instead of ushering in the next generation of gaming, Knack feels decidedly last generation. It brings very little new to the table while feeling overly…

Article by Matt S. The most interesting difference between Sony (and Nintendo) and Microsoft’s approach to the games industry over the years has been the fact that while Sony and Nintendo have been focused on producing or publishing content in-house, Microsoft instead has an active partnering business; and not just…
