Children of the Sun (PC) Review

René Rother’s Children of the Sun is what would happen if the 2015 title Hatred had an actual point beyond listening to too much My Chemical Romance. Being a Devolver Digital published title, you don’t have to look at the Steam page to know that…

WrestleMania XL Night 2 Review

With Night 1 in the bag and the biggest fight of The American Nightmare’s life ahead of him, Night 2 of WrestleMania XL had some of the biggest implications in WWE to date. Aside from the most pertinent main event in recent memory,…
