Review by Matt S. We’ve reviewed Pure Chess in the past. It’s been across just about every game platform I own now, in fact, and the standard has been astronomical across the board (hah, there’s a pun for you in the opening paragraph). The Wii U version is the latest…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I can’t believe that it’s taken me so long to discover the Inazuma Eleven franchise. Well, actually, I know why it’s taken me so long to discover the Inazuma Eleven franchise; it’s hasn’t exactly been given the highest profile out of Japan in the past. Because…
