Not a great plan really, as essentially most of the PSP's core audience are likely as hardcore as the console audience. So Broken Destiny really ends up being hobbled by making the main course of the game little more than a complex tutorial. I tried to be tolerant of the lengthy tutorial, but when I realized that to see the story of Broken Destiny I had to spend time learning more complex blocks and parries rather than mashing button, I lost my temper. I wrote this review as a scathing rant the first time around, lamenting that this was just little more than training wheels for Soul Calibur IV."
Assassin's Creed's Ezio and The Witcher's Geralt have been excellent guest characters in the Soul Calibur series.

I've done various series on the subject. However, most of the time, the games mentioned in these articles are from wholly new or overlooked franchises themselves.
There are also a multitude of series that I can think of that have one, two, or a handful of games in it that aren't viewed as highly as the others, whether just or not.
These ideas are where the concept of All-Star Franchises, Underrated Entries comes from, and since our 13th edition, I've come up with six more underrated entries to big-time franchises, some bigger than others."
Carl Williams writes, "In video games, we don’t see too many crossover events. It is probably due to the fact that video game companies are quite litigious with each other. That is a shame, though, as it would be interesting to see more gaming crossover events that are not Super Smash Bros or a Capcom and SNK fighting game. While it was a little bit of work, we have tracked down five awesome gaming crossovers that you have forgotten about."
