Rather than rely on dedicated controls for volume and filters, the Kontrol S5 co-opts the BROWSE and LOOP encoders when a stem deck is active. The S5, on the other hand, is missing some of that core functionality (namely the four volume faders). Functionality for playing the multi-track music format fit snuggly into the remix deck controls on the F1, S8, and D2s. The latest big thing with Traktor, software-wise, was the brand new stem file format which came out a few months ago. I cover the nitty gritty of their implementation below, but as you’d expect, the workflow fits perfectly with Traktor Pro 2. The decks can be broken down into the screen section, performance section, transport, and effects units. Yeah, I guess it’s a bit disappointing that it’s not a user-replaceable part, but how many people that buy this are really going to mash their crossfader? Before we get yet another round of “OMG NI have abandoned scratch DJs!” you need to stop and think about what niche (pronounced ‘neesh’, FYI) this controller fills. The Kontrol S5 isn’t ‘Innofader compatible’ because the crossfader isn’t user replaceable. Speaking of crossfaders, the question that always pops up can be answered with a simple ‘no’. There’s four channels of volume, EQ, filters, trims and cue toggle, effects select, along with the usual master/booth/cue volume controls plus a crossfader. The mixer section is straightforward, whether you’re familiar with Traktor gear or not. You still get all the major features from the software for fundamental four-deck mixing. The reality is though that it’s smaller than S8, and has less functionality, but the price tag does reflect that fairly. But there’s certainly been some thought put into the layout and control. It only has two FX units, one on each deck. It’s easy to take a glance at this controller and compare the layout to the S8 to see what’s missing. Yes, they’re likely the same ones as the S8, but having spent much more time with this controller, I’ve noticed you can see what’s happening on the screens from pretty much any angle you might be looking. ![]() Something I noticed about them while in use is the viewing angle. The LED brightness can be adjusted to suit your tastes, but I’m always impressed with how vibrant they are. Everything is solid, easy to locate, LEDs are bright, and the screens are as top-notch as ever. Every bit of gear is designed to be rugged, and NI’s choice of buttons and sliders are great. In all the time I’ve used their gear (since the X1 MK1), I’ve only really ever known of a few disappointments: The USB ports on some controllers are a bit flimsy, and, for some reason, the loop knobs on the X1 MK2 in the studio decided to fall off. Native Instruments has been pretty consistent in in the industrial design of its hardware products. You also obviously get your download code for the full version of Traktor Pro 2 (not Scratch, mind). There’s the comically huge quick start guide, which is daft looking but actually quite useful. Along with the 1.5 metre USB cable, you get the standard AC power supply with snap-on international adapters in case you take a fancy to rocking out in Germany or Taiwan or anywhere. ![]() The company has managed to standardise their offerings pretty well, so there’s no real surprises here. In usual NI fashion, there’s been some thought put into the packaging design for the Kontrol S5. The Traktor Kontrol S5 is a four-channel Traktor Pro 2 controller with two colour screens that’s compact and features control for the new Stem file format and Traktor’s remix decks. There might be a lot of crossover, but they definitely have their own identities, and as such, understanding what they both offer will best inform you as to which (if any) would suit you. I was expecting a two-channel S2 analogue, sort of a like a screen-laden Novation Twitch (a good, but slightly flawed, controller).Īs a side note, It might be worth reading Jared’s most non-heinous review of the S8 from late last year to get a good idea of the intricacies of what Native Instruments’ flagship controller is capable of compared to this one. I was actually most surprised by the fact that the S8’s baby sibling had four decks. When the Kontrol S5 images first did the rounds within the DJWORX team, it didn’t look that much different from the S8… yet seemed hampered in its functionality. I’m an ardent pessimist when it comes to all-in-one controllers: the S8 was fun, but I’ll always choose modular whenever possible. Native Instruments’ Stem files launch was the last big piece of news that really got me excited, with the Kontrol S8 piquing my interest a year ago. When you’ve constantly got your head dunked in the noise of the industry, it’s difficult to get overly excited when a new product comes along. Link: NI product page | Price: $799/€799/£579 | Manual: ZIP/PDF INTRODUCTION ![]() ![]() ![]() The collection of Marvel tables are arguably the top attraction, but personally I didn’t like these as much as the others available. ![]() What’s more, the classic soundtrack is also included a plus side that needs no explanation. Hearing Vader ask, “What is thy bidding my master?” whenever you launch the ball is as satisfying as you might expect. They also come complemented with sound clips cut directly from the movies. Covering various themes including Darth Vader, Return of the Jedi, Boba Fett and The Clone Wars, there are a terrific array of tables in this pack. The officially licensed Star Wars tables are probably the best of the bunch. The Sorcerer’s Lair table is good, but there are much better ones available. Of course, if you’re not willing to splash a bit of cash on Zen Pinball 2 then you’re going to have a somewhat limited experience. Intricate backboards, themed table components and even moving 3D models all come together to form pinball tables that would feel at home on board a spaceship. There’s great fun to be had in exploring all the tables you own in an attempt to discover everything they have hidden. Each table features various missions (or whatever the table theme calls them), which encourage the player to perform certain actions with the reward of big bonus points. The fact that these tables don’t rely on real-world examples means Zen Studios can go to town creating their own bizarre tables that would probably be impossible in reality. The tables feature various slots, alleys, flippers, lights, sounds and all the other elements that make up a pinball table. Zen Pinball 2 is essentially an elaborate version of that little Windows game. In all likelihood, most people have either played a physical pinball game before in their lives, or failing that the pinball game on Windows. But what of the PS4 players who, with a somewhat limited library of games to choose from, fancy trying their hand at virtual pinball for the first time? You’ll be glad to hear that Zen Pinball 2 is a brilliant game to pick up and play, even as a pinball amateur. For those who enjoy the PS3 game, that’s probably an upside rather than a negative point, the ‘don’t fix what ain’t broke’ technique clearly coming into play. The game itself is more or less unchanged from the PS3 version only now the tables look a little crisper and the lights a little more vibrant when presented in 1080p 60fps. This table is a good choice for the free option as it’s relatively simple, yet packed with extra features like mini-games and bonus triggers. At launch however, Zen Studios is offering their Sorcerer’s Lair table for free, so any PS4 player can give it a go. With this base system installed you can, from there, purchase and download new tables from a choice of 19, each of them costing around £1.99 or a little more for packs. The base game, which includes a grand total of zero tables, is available for free on PSN. Zen Studios have therefore had a lot of time to perfect their game, making this one of the best pinball titles they’ve ever made.įirst, it’s probably best to clarify how buying Zen Pinball 2 actually works, as it is a little unusual. Zen Pinball 2 on PS4 has a long lineage from the same game on PS3 and PS Vita, all the way back to Pinball FX2 on Xbox 360 and PC. Still, pinball is great, and the videogame versions have always done a decent job of making them accessible from players’ living rooms. Playing a virtual callback to the arcade classic on a brand new games console feels a little odd like playing an electric lute in a punk rock band (probably). There’s a slight touch of irony involved with playing pinball on a PlayStation 4.

Vernon Triangle’s Nama will continue operating as usual. In 2020, Tico carved out room for a sushi counter called Nama 14th - an extension of the original that sends out rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. Nama Ko’s 14th Street NW space already enjoys a raw fish following. Eight specialty rolls, listed under a “sushi chefs just wanna have fun” section, includes the Candy Cane (shrimp tempura, avocado, tuna, yellowtail, apple, jalapeno, tobiko). Nama Ko’s nigiri and sashimi section includes a whopping 32 surf or turf options to choose from, including fatty tuna, mackerel, sea urchin, Kumamoto oysters, Japanese octopus, and duck or monkfish liver. Smoked roe punches up a plate of roasted mushrooms over Japanese custard and soy caramel. The same “a bit bigger” section includes a seared Atlantic red snapper dressed with soy dashi and dry-aged duck breast joined by kimchi. An Australian wagyu New York strip flanked with asparagus, yuzu, and bearnaise is the priciest menu item ($85), with the option to add butter-poached lobster for $20 more. Luxe wagyu shows up in lots of places at Nama Ko, in dumplings, rolls, tartare, and nigiri. Hot plates include lobster pasta with dashi and yuzu beurre monte and king crab risotto with uni, miso, scallion, and togarashi butter. The “ridiculously delicious” appetizer riffs on steak and potatoes, says Schlow. Nama KoĪ “no rules” small plates section includes a potato “croquette” with a seared cube of Japanese A5 wagyu beef.

Watson was most recently at the helm of Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto’s 20-year-old flagship and Momotoro in Chicago before that. Schlow tapped Derek Watson, Stephen Starr’s star chef at Morimoto, to lead the Nama Ko kitchen in D.C.

Last year, when I first heard that Geometry Wars 3 was coming out, I knew I had to get it - it’s been years since my last Geometry Wars game, and I was unable to find Evolved from the App Store. This began my love for dual-stick shooters, and ever since then, I’m always eager to get my hands on these types of arcade games on any platform. I played the heck out of both of these during those times, because they were just a fantastic way to let some hours slip by, plus I was in love with the colorful lights and explosions. Several years later, I eventually got my first iPhone as well as a Nintendo DS handheld, so I was rejoicing at the fact that I could get the new versions available at the time, which were Geometry Wars: Evolved and Geometry Wars: Galaxies. But the moment I saw that it was an awesome looking space shooter type of game, I was intrigued and had to try it out somehow, but I didn’t have an Xbox (the original game was a mini-game that came out in 2003). When I was still in high school, I recall hearing something about a game called “Geometry Wars.” At first I thought it would be something kind of dumb, because I didn’t like geometry in school. It has been a long time since the last Geometry Wars game on iOS, which has been pulled from the App Store for a while now, so this new port has been a long time coming. with Lucid Games and Sierra Entertainment is the mobile port of the explosive dual-stick shooter game that launched late last year on Windows, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. Review copy of game provided by publisher.Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions ($4.99) by Activision Publishing, Inc. While it might not light the world on fire the way Retro Evolved and its sequel did, Dimensions is a the next evolution of the series, and a really fun way to waste time on the new consoles. Remember that version still exists, both on the 360, and in some forms in Classic mode in Dimensions. Still, if the series is to continue, it needs to evolve into something more than the original. Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions delivers a lot of what made the original so addictive, while introducing some new modes that are sure to ruffle some feathers. Of course, neither mode matches the leaderboard chasing of the original, and now that each level has its own score keeping, things become heated among friends, that is if anyone on my list was actually playing it. The online only offers competitive play, and pits two teams against each other in a battle of skills. The offline portion offers its own co-op campaign, which is really well done. Multiplayer also exists, both online and offline. The new level shapes add both variety and some frustration. The split-second decision making the game requires will definitely have players hitting that quick restart option often. Dimensions plays like a dream, with every death resulting in me being more angry at myself than the game. Thankfully, the core game play is still intact. At times it feels counter-intuitive to the simplistic nature of the original. Also, unlocking new drones requires beating boss battles, so I was constantly replaying levels, not because I wanted a higher score, but because I needed the upgrades to progress. It feels almost skewed in a way that requires grinding for the ship upgrades. Each level is based on a three star scoring system, of which I was always getting the lowest possible, when I managed to attain that, but this game is brutal. I am not great at Geometry Wars, but I was dying consistently by the first boss battle. Again, these are bold changes to the simple formula, but ones that don’t detract too much from the core mechanic that makes the series so addictive.Īdventure mode is packed full of levels and challenges, but it also borders on punishing at times. This also alters the game play in a way that makes sense for the new levels. In addition to the screen-clearing smart bomb, players now also earn a second special attack attached to the other trigger. Players can now add helper pieces to their ship that do things such as fire extra shots, or simply collect geoms (which are used as a score multiplier). Probably the biggest additions to this mode though are ship loadouts and upgrades. Multiplayer: Offline co-op and competitive, online competitive ![]() |
