A tale of “nightmare hours, inept management, industry realisations and heroics”. Sega turns 60 this year, and the company is celebrating that fact on multiple fronts – one of which is the utterly insane Game Gear Micro.

Nintendo SVICII. The music of sadly-deceased electronic musician Avicii didn’t initially strike us as a great match for a rhythm action game. The marriage of a single contemporary artist with the medium of video games gives us PTSD flashbacks to The Black Eyed Peas Experience. Thankfully, unlike Will.I.Am and Fergie’s barely-listenable dreck, Avicii’s discography is […]
Minecraft’s Minecart. We’re always cautious not to label characters as “Overpowered” when they’ve been with us for less than 24 hours. That’s not what we’re doing.
