Streets of Rage 4 has finally received some DLC in the form of a Survival mode and a training room—but is it enough for fans hungry for more? Can Streets of Rage 4: Mr. X Nightmare make you pick up the controller and hit the streets once again? That’s exactly…
Mario Golf: Super Rush doesn’t feel like a game made by people who are passionate about Mario or golf. For a game titled “Mario Golf,” that presents a bit of a problem. Still, the development team at Camelot managed to pack Mario Golf: Super Rush with great ideas that don’t…
