Review by Matt S. I’m going to get my biggest gripe with Gran Turismo Sport out of the way from the start; the requirement to be online in order to save your game is trash. If the servers are down then all those cars and tracks you’ve spent hours unlocking…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. A shooter that manages to be intelligent is a rare, precious thing. Not just intelligent in the sense of it being “anti-war” or subversive, such as games like the recent Wolfenstein titles or Spec Ops: The Line. Nor just in the way that it plays with…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Bandai Namco recently brought the newest iteration of the Gundam Versus series back into the hands of the players.
