Read MoreReview by Brad L. There are remakes, remasters, HD Final Mix Twin Turbo Editions and more in what appears to basically be the decade of these things. Then, there are games like Metroid: Samus Returns; a re-take on a classic that shows everything just how you do a remake of…
Read MoreReview by Ginny W. For a game that looks about as adorable as a baby Lagombi, Monster Hunter Stories sure packs a serious punch.
