Preview by Shaan J. Even before I picked up an Xbox One for myself, I’d seen trailers for Project Totem, a twin platformer of sorts from Danish studio Press Play, which also developed the Xbox exclusive title Max: The Curse of Brotherhood that released last year. Having gone under the radar for…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. At first, this looks like almost any other Batman LEGO collaboration. The story gets off to a slow start, the world of bricks is dark and dreary and Batman is of course at the centre of things. It’s hardly innovative stuff. However, before long LEGO Batman…
