Review Bubsy In: The Purrfect Collection (Switch) - Limited Run Cleans Out The Kitty Litter
What could possibly go right?

The second is a misguided attempt to add context to...
Review I, Robot (Switch) - Another Psychedelic Success For Llamasoft & Atari
Proper bangin'
If you looked at the title of Atari’s latest release and thought, 'The Will Smith movie?', don’t worry.

Instead, this is a Llamasoft-developed remake of the 1984 arcade title I, Robot from Dave Theurer...
