Review Sonic X Shadow Generations (Switch) - A Blistering Return To Form For Both Hedgehogs
The best 3D Sonic game..? Yes

Sometimes it was traditional Western fantasy, while others it jumped back to Edo Japan.
Review Football Manager 2024 Touch (Switch) - An Impressive Sim With Some Real Pep

For some of us the obsession dates back to its Championship Manager days in the early/mid-1990s, and the core of...
