Read MoreActivision wins big with Call of Duty: Ghosts, the Wii Mini heads to US shores, Konami defines the duality that is Metal Gear Solid V and the PS4 isn’t a fan of media streaming (or playback) – all in today’s News Wrap. Activision cashes in with Ghosts to the tune…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The 3DS doesn’t necessarily have that many rhythm games, but those that it does have tend to be of an obscenely high quality. From Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, to Rhythm Thief and HarmoKnight, if you’re a fan of tapping along with the music then you’re well serviced…
