News::Slender: The Arrival Review Repetitious Scare Tactics - PSLS

"Theres a tall man standing right outside my window; a tall, slender, faceless man yet he is still watching. The Slender Man, or Slenderman as he may be known, has been a bit of a horror enigma for the past half of a decade. Created in 2009 almost by accident, the internet latched onto this creepy looming figure and have subsequently imagined up a character whos origins are now just an amalgamation of internet fiction. Thats the eeriness of Slenderman. He is moderately different for everyone and in every story. But this is also the internet, which is fleeting, and the relevancy of this creepy figure is being questioned by some." - PSLS

News::Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments Review Elementary! - PSLS

"A classic work of literature can translate poorly into a video game simply because of the many nuances and tones of the story. Characters have to be multi-faceted and memorable, and situations cannot feel unnatural or shallow. Players have to be entertained like they were when reading the book, and the environment has to be familiar and complex. The classics have to be done very well and done with respect, or else they will be judged harshly. Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments breezes through the hurdles of a classic work transformed into a video game with unexpected charm and intelligence." - PSLS

Electronic Arts, more specifically the FIFA franchise, is well known for its outstanding level of detail and its ground-breaking improvements year after year. For example these ground-braking improvements could extend to the updated defence mechanic first shown in 2012s iteration of the game and the revitalized crowd physics shown in just last years next generation port. This years FIFA, named FIFA 15, doesnt follow this trend of overhauls, in fact opting for a much more subtle approach by adding enhancements which dont revitalise but fine-tune the diverse experience instead. With that lack of innovation in mind, is FIFA 15 the best football game on the market?
