Review by Nick H. For ardent Dragon Ball Z fans, this latest release will have more than enough fan service to keep them satisfied. However, just focusing on that would be selling Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2 short, because there is a quality brawling game with some inspired MMORPG elements that…

Review by Nick H. There are some core fundamentals in Mark McMorris Infinite Air that take some getting used to, but the game also takes a lot of time investment to get the most out of what it has to offer. That learning curve, which will probably intimidate newer players,…
