Super Jagger Bomb (PS4) Review with streamWith obvious inspiration from Tecmo’s Mighty Bombjack series, Super Jagger Bomb is a one note, repetitive arcade-like experience with little to offer.

Roar of Revenge (Xbox One) Review with streamSeep, the makers of Swords & Bones, have released another retro-style action platformer follow-up called Roar or Revenge. Controlling a sword swinging barbarian that looks like Conan, it is your job to collect some sacred treasures and smite evil. With one button to attack and another to jump, the experience remains simple and reminds me […]
