SQUIDS Odyssey review

A decent tactics RPG buried beneath a lackluster story

While the port contains the first two games in the SQUIDS saga, it also contains a new story chapter and further character and equipment additions to encourage a second purchase if... read more

Monkey Pirates review

You need friends for this one

Monkeys have been an important part of video gaming culture since its early steps into the industry.

Another World - 20th Anniversary Edition review

This classic hasn't aged very well

Maybe it's because I never grew up with Another World (or Out of this World, as it was previously known as is North America), but after finishing the game, I felt nothing but relief from the fact that I would never have to play it again. It's really disappointing to not be able to appreciate a supposed... read more
