Tales of Hearts R Review

WORTH THE WAIT


Even though the Tales series’ fanbase has grown exponentially over the last few years, it felt like a longshot that its western fans would ever get to experience one of its Vita entries.

The Legend of Zelda X Mario Kart 8 Review

THE BEST KART RACER JUST GOT BETTER

 Super Smash Kart are three words I never wanted to hear… until now. I originally wanted Mario Kart to stay in the Mario universe. But, I’m pleased to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the first DLC pack for Mario Kart 8. Not only is it amazing value for money but the crossover tracks and vehicles are, on the whole, fantastic. In fact, the only thing I want more of, ironically, is The Legend of Zelda.
