Throwback Bit Thursday: Star Ocean: The Last Hope

Posted on August 5, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

Throwback Bit Thursday: Shenmue

Posted on July 29, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

For all intents and purposes, Shenmue was billed as the game to save the Dreamcast. Shenmue was meant to be an ambitious multi-chapter saga set in an open world environment.
