First Person Shooters have been a lucrative genre since inception, mostly down to the overwhelming, and continued success of the DOOM franchise. The ’90s were where it was at. The dawn of a new age. The coming of death, blood, monsters, and more importantly – puns. It was a glorious time. A rampageous time. But […]
Robot Wars meets RTS gameplay In the not-so-distant past, I was tasked with reviewing Trailer Trashers by Sakari Games, and I found their brand of violent (and yet relaxing) couch multiplayer refreshing – so much so that I immediately shot my hand up when the opportunity to review another game of theirs arrived.
