Toejam and Earl Back in the Groove (Switch) Review – Groovy
Growing up as a genesis kid, ToeJam and Earl was one of my favorite games. While other kids were spinning tales about Mario and Zelda, I was inking crude cartoons of some odd hip-hop loving aliens from space. I remained…

Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2 Review: Turtle Destruction Wave
The heart of a good Dragon Ball game is its combat. I can safely say that fighting in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 ticks all the right boxes; it’s flashy, fluid (running at a consistent 60fps) and unleashing flurries of strikes right…
