Review by Pierre-Yves L. Guacamelee!

Review by Matt S. Imagine a game which was all about a combination of momentum and precision. A game where players have themselves a bike to control, and had to carefully judge the speed of said bike based on the angle and distance of a wide range of jumps and…

Review by Matt S. Dell isn’t exactly known for its speakers. Sure, it sticks ’em in its laptops and PCs, and it does own the Alienware gaming computer brand where sound quality is important, but when we see that Dell logo, we are generally more inclined to think “dry, boring…
