Review by Matt S. Making a comedy game is a challenge. It’s one thing to have jokes in there, but there also needs to be a compelling experience around it that people want to play through from start to finish. After all, the running of a game is generally fairly…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Pokémon Link: Battle! is a cheap mobile game with some nice presentation and the Pokémon license. I know that Nintendo fans hate the very idea that the company should be producing mobile games, but it’s utter nonsense to think that this particular game is anything but…
