Review by Clark A. In an industry that often produces movies that directly adapt their TV show equivalents, Yu-Gi-Oh! Bonds Beyond Time is ambitious. Originally released in 2010 as an anniversary movie of sorts, it plucks its four protagonists from the franchise’s first three long-running anime spin-offs. That’s a lot…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It seems really strange for a collectible card game (CCG) to be an exclusively single player experience. After all, we are talking about a genre in which a core part of the appeal is in pitching wits against a real human being. CCGs are at heart…
