Resogun Review


"Beautiful Destruction..."

Resogun is the newest PlayStation exclusive digital title from developer House Marque. They have built a solid reputation with the PlayStation nation through stellar games such as Super Stardust HD and Dead Nation. Resogun draws much stronger similarities to Super Stardust; another old school arcade shooter that was reimagined for the current generation. Super Stardust HD is most comparable to the classic Asteroids on a spherical map while Resogun is more of a Defender clone on a cylindrical map.

Knack Review


A Charming, But Flawed Old School Action-Platformer...

Knack was the first PS4 title to be shown off back at the reveal event in February. I along with many did not think it was the best way to introduce the graphical power of Sony's next-generation offering. However, Mark Cerny's team at Sony Japan was behind the project so I definitely had hope in its potential. It was being advertised as a mascot action-platformer in the veins of a Crash Bandicoot. This is not surprising since Mark Cerny is one of the minds behind Crash Bandicoot along with other memorable titles such as Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet & Clank, and Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. For me, the game ultimately ended up feeling like a mix of God of War, Demon's Souls, and Sonic Adventure. Read on to find out if that is a good thing...
