Rugby 22 Review

Parisian development studio NACON and Eko Software are aiming to score some much-needed points in the rugby game market with the release of Rugby 22. However, does it convert those points into a winning formula? Let's jump in and find out in this review. Does Rugby 22 Try Too Hard Or Does It Convert Perfectly? As a player and rugby fan myself, I was eager to get my teeth into this title. I've long bemoaned the fact that rugby hasn't been as well represented on console and PC as perhaps its footballing and NFL counterparts. As a follow up to the somewhat averagely-received Rugby 20, Rugby 22 should come as a real treat for those eagerly awaiting an updated rugby gaming experience. So, I was keen to see how far things have developed in this particular area of sports games in the last de...

PopSlinger Review

For any lover of 90's, SNES, and arcade side scrolling beat em ups, boy do we have a game for you. PopSlinger is a side-scrolling 2D action game developed and published by Funky Can Creative and was released on January 26th for the Nintendo Switch. I usually play games with a rich story but I sure do love me some side scrolling goodness. Mario is a classic but I have a fondness for the arcade style side scrolling. Going to any movie theater or pizza place, I was bound to be playing one of those arcade machines. So something like this is a great game for me to play and review. PopSlinger - It's funny how the 90's have reached the point where it is considered nostalgia If you're excited to play PopSlinger or enjoy the game and want to share your thoughts, leave a comment down below o...
