What can be said about Sega‘s fabulous Super Monkey Ball that hasn’t already been said before? It is a riot of colour and sound that has been bringing joy to games-players for over two decades now.

Released in December 1996 in Japan, and in 1997 in North America and Europe, Soul Blade is the PlayStation port of Namco‘s Soul Edge arcade fighting game – the predecessor to the Soulcalibur series.
