The first Taito Milestones title was released about a year ago; in his review, Matt complained that it was missing classics like Space Invaders, Bubble Bobble, Arkanoid, and Darius. He also described it as a woeful excuse for a compilation. Now there’s a sequel in the works, which actually does…
Here we sit, two weeks away from Dordogne’s launch. The game both…
Bee-keeping sim Apico is quite bee-loved (Matt even featured it in his…
