Beyond: Two Souls Is One of The Most Brilliant Games Made (Review)

When Beyond: Two Souls was first announced, I was rather unsure what it really was. They were marketing it as an action oriented title, then slowly crept into it being a story driven title.

It has its hiccups, but the game should go down in the books as one of the best titles ever made.

Besides The Last of Us, it was one of my most anticipated titles, and so far its delivering for sure.

At E3 there were a ton of great games to play and one of them was Killzone: Mercenary. Since the franchise’s next console iteration (Shadow Fall) is being hyped up for the PS4, I had to get my hands on the Vita version of it.
