Review by Matt S. This isn’t going to be a full-length review, since it is just a single pinball table DLC for Zen Pinball 2. But I did feel like it was worth running a brief review on it, because of the many (many) tables available through Zen Pinball 2,…

Review by Matt S. The Tomb Raider reboot is worthy of a great deal of praise. It was quality entertainment when it was originally released on last-gen consoles, and the same remains true for the upscaled PlayStation 4 game. If you are a console-orientated person, and don’t have a high-spec…
