Review by Matt S. Disgaea is a series that is quite happy with sticking with what it does best. It’s a franchise that isn’t really known for innovation, but then fans keep buying the games for one great reason – it doesn’t actually need improvement. No tactics RPG has come…

Review by Andrew M. As a sport lover and rugby league tragic, I am so pleased that there is a developer that is interested in making rugby league games. With sports that are purely Australian or – hell, I’ll say it – just not American, there doesn’t seem to be…
