Zomborg Review – You Are Legend! (Hopefully)

Game Dev Lab bring us Zomborg. I'm sure I don't have to give much away in regards to what the game is about. Time to pop on a helmet, some DMs and get some cartridges into that shotgun.

Y’s VIII: Lacrimosa Of Dana Review – JRPG Explorathon

Since 1987 the red-headed Adol Christin has been constantly entangled in legendary adventures in the Y’s series (pronounced like “ease”). He is always somehow at the right place at the right time to embark on the most JRPG of JRPG tropes. Plots to destroy the world, legendary monsters, evil gods, amnesia, demons, annnnnddddd you get the picture. The next installment of the series, Y’s VIII: Lacrimosa Of Dana, has finally arrived on the PS4. I have been an avid JRPG fan ever since I began gaming as a young lad on the SNES with amazing games such as Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 3, Earthbound, etc. I somehow never got involved with the Y’s series in all the years, so Y’s VIII: Lacrimosa Of Dana was my first foray into the saga.
