PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale is the first party brawler the world has seen on consoles in a while, and party brawlers have a way of sticking around in our gaming libraries for a while. As such, we felt fit to make some simple character guides for all the characters in the game, including DLC, over the next few weeks. Each video is accompanied by commentary from our reviews editor, Christopher Sheridan as well as myself. Please note these are casual guides, by no means are these videos for top-tier competition, surely there are amazing exploits or something you’ll have to use to play at that level.

Below is the character select screen which will be annotated with new characters as they are released. Currently we have Big Daddy, Ratchet & Clank and Jak & Daxter out, and videos for them will be after the jump.
