Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Review: Far Less Than Super
The idea behind Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is a good one, even if it’s not all that original. Similar to Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion, this platform fighter brings together a smattering of cartoon characters from the childhoods of several generations and looks to replicate the party game fun of Super Smash Bros. However, the punch is rotten, the clown no-showed, and this party is one you were better off not going to. While, despite some jokes online, it was never destined to rival competitive Super Smash Bros. Melee, All-Star Brawl makes a poor first impression and things only get worse from there. The first thing players notice upon getting into a match is that the combat feels mushy. Punches are imprecise, the movement … [Read More...]

That report said that two Silent Hill games were in development: one from Bloober and one from an unnamed Japanese studio.
