Our stream has us completing a few different goals - taking out a boss, collecting a certain number of elements, or simply poking those one eyed snipers in their only eye. Don't they realize having one eye doesn't make you a better sniper?
What do you get when Metal Slug has a baby with Monster Hunter? The answer is Mercenary Kings, the platforming, SNES throwback, shooter from Tribute games.

Mercenary Kings will be available for free on PS4 to all PlayStation Plus members! The game was going to release like a normal title tomorrow, April 1st.

Nick and I snaked our way through Sony's overcrowded booth. Well, it really wasn't a booth - it was more like an impressive display of dominance.
