‘Rogue Legacy’ Review (Nintendo Switch)

by Britt Roberts

Originally released in 2013, Rogue Legacy makes its way to Nintendo’s handheld console and proves an ideal match for gaming on the move. I’m very wary of procedural generation in video games and so when games like Nongunz, Moonlighter and Rogue Legacy use it well, it can really enhance the gaming experience and add real […]

There’s nothing like getting some friends gathered around a console and spending some time blowing each other away in digital form.

Varion is a neon-drenched Deathmatch game featuring four tanks where […]
