E3 2014 – CounterSpy Hands-On Impressions
There’s was no shaking the feeling of déjà vu when I first approached CounterSpy at Sony’s booth at E3.

God of War is a fantastic reinvention of the series
It’s not easy being a god, and apparently making a game about being one isn’t either. Over the years, the God of War franchise, which started out as one of the landmark franchises for Sony’s consoles and portables, eventually turned stale.
