Review by Matt S. It’s been a wait for people in Europe and Australia, but one of the more controversial games this year has finally been released. Dragon’s Crown is controversial, not because of how it plays, but for its art style. That’s probably just as well because I can’t…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Shadowrun is a legendary RPG, both in terms of the pen-and-paper tabletop game and the original console release a few generations ago. When a certain big publisher decided that the ‘reboot’ of Shadowrun would be yet another generic FPS and managed to annoy the long time…
