Review: London has gone to the dogs in Sunday Gold
BKOM Studios’ combination of point-and-click adventure and turn-based combat is a flawed gem.
E3 2014 – Fenix Rage Hands-on Impressions
I always feel a special kind of tinge in my heart whenever I get to see a game that’s inspired by Super Meat Boy. It’s that kind of feeling that marries well with the dread I’m certain to feel right afterwards, when my poor character has lived through what cats would consider eons. Fenix Rage…
