Poker Club Playstation 4 Review

Once upon a time, I considered myself to have the best poker face in all the land. I was that confident in my playing that when I was a bit short on cash for the month, I would organise a game with an ex-girlfriend's family. I did this knowing full-well they just weren't very good at the game and we would fleece them every time.

So it's fair to say that my experience since has been a bit lacking, that's why I was keen to see what Poker Club had to offer. Poker Club - Is It A Flop Or A Ro...

Eggcelerate! Review – Make It Or Break It On The Track!

Once again it has been developed by Running With Scissors but this time around it has been published by MD Games. It was originally released on PC in 2016, Switch in November of 2020, PlayStation 4 in March in the US, and April for the UK. Postal REDUX was announced in 2014 but the PlayStation 4 version was cancelled in 2017 due to poor sales on the PC. In Postal REDUX the air ripens with the odours of the dead and dying. It smells like...Victory Thankfully, MD Games announced a port of the game in September of 2020, and here we are. We have the original game and all its expansion packs, so 23 stages in total.
