Eight to Consider: Games of E3 2019
It’s June and that can mean only one thing in the world of video games – E3 is upon us. It pains me to say it, but I can’t lie, E3 isn’t nearly as exciting as it was a decade ago when I got back into video games. That said, I’m not a completely jaded […]
Pokémon Platinum Review
Platform: Nintendo DS What’s important when you revisit a ten year old Pokémon game?
