Read MoreReview by Matt S. In Yakuza 0, a typical night out starts with a wander through a red-light district, eventually dropping in at an adult video hire place that allows you to watch softcore gravure videos of your favourite ladies. Then you’ll wander over to the other side of town…
Read MoreReview by Jim S. Wild Guns: Reloaded is a remake of a game from back on the Super Nintendo, which is unusual in itself, as most remakes are focused on newer games from PS2 and later. But, I do like that Natsume has gone back farther and brought back this…
