Review by Matt S. I would never have thought that the developers and publishers of this game would have thought to release it on a platform with virtual controls. As a remake of a early-era game, Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse HD is the kind of platformer that requires…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Of all the nostalgic trips I’ve have on my iPad, Lone Wolf could have been the mightiest of all. As a kid I bought, read and reread Joe Dever’s fantasy choose-your-own-adventure games more than anything else I read, I suspect. As Fighting Fantasy was proving to…
