Sampling PlayStation 4 launch titles
The franchise on the previous generation of consoles felt like an '80s Hollywood action movie, riddled with poor special effects.
The PS4 and its hardware help the franchise enter into the modern era of moviemaking with realistic explosions, stunning lighting, richer textures, higher frames rate and better set staging.
The game isn't challenging because of the lack of great puzzles.
Because it's free with your PlayStation Plus membership, "Contrast" is worth a quick look until you open your holiday presents.
Though "Killzone" utilizes the hardware and abilities of both the PS4 console and new DualShock 4 controller, the game itself feels like a showcase for Sony's inner circle of developers, while overlooking the opportunity to create an engaging playing experience for gamers.
