Thunder Wolves – Playstation 3 Review
With all the ironically big, loud and dumb games available, Thunder Wolves comes off as a tryhard. It touts mass destruction, but only a few stages allow for real obliteration, and the characters’ insipid banter is ham-fisted and devoid of wit. Sure, … Continue reading

DuckTales: Ramastered – PC Review
Indeed, DuckTales: Remastered is the original with a new coat of paint and copy-and-paste gameplay. This isn’t an awful thing by any means, and the tweaks they made are welcome. It isn’t going to prove to be as inspirational as … Continue reading
