Review by Matt S. A LittleBigPlanet game without level creation tools? I wasn’t so sure about that. I mean, sure, Sackboy has become Sony’s mascot for the younger players over the last decade or so, making him the ideal vehicle to sell the PS5 as an all-ages console, but his games…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. The PlayStation 5 is now upon us, and we’re having a great time with its launch titles and messing around with the new hardware. There is no doubt that it is a very fine console indeed. What is concerning, however, is Sony’s attitude towards Japanese games.…
