Review by Matt S. Well, it was inevitable that Worms would eventually make its way to the PlayStation Vita. The folks at Team 17 have adapted the insanity to every other platform, so why not also Sony’s powerhouse? Now, these games don’t have a good track record on the handheld…
Read MoreHave you ever played Harpoon? Possibly not, it’s a rather old game and even when it was new it was a niche within a niche. But if you’re a fan of strategy games then Harpoon, even now, is an accurate simulation of real military strategy and conflict. It’s also clearly…
