It's all about Soul Calibur 4 on the PS3.
Soul Charge is cool and I'm pretty sure they already have plans to add it to the 4th game.
Starting off with 4 characters might sound strange at first but if you played the series and your a veteran like I am then you know in order to collect all the achievements and get all the characters you would have to play with every character including the slower not so good ones.
To get guest characters you have to make it 5 matches without getting killed in order to unlock a bonus round which then you fight the guest character and kill that person in order to collect them.
The best way to play Soul Calibur is to get in close do as many slice attacks as you can and when the opponent is on the ground continue slashing or kick them.
Also when you get knocked down try to gain distance by rolling.
Lastly if your opponent is striking you either duck or do a kick move to get that person off guard then continue slashing until your opponent is dead.

Ninja Gaiden 2 is cool a little too similar to the first and I haven't really seen anything that has changed.
Same person fighting with weapons only now the story might be better.
Pros: Good combos, fighting skills are cool, story is good, it's a lot easier than the first which was really hard, etc.
Cons: Graphics are the same, Camera angle is still messed up and not on point.
-Lastly as far as competing with MGS4 don't hold your breath there won't be many games for a while that can compete w/ MGS at least until later this year when Sony releases it's other exclusives to the public.

Penny Arcade seems too last gen to me but the game play is decent.

Other than that this episode is good.
