Finally, A Promising Robotech Game!

Robotech (or, specifically, Macross) games have a chequered past. Some have been OK! Others terrible. Some have even been pretty good, though you wouldn’t know it, since the best ones (on PS2 and PSP) have never been officially been released outside Japan.

The Prettiest Card Game I Ever Did See

The art on Magic: The Gathering cards is some of the best you’ll see on the planet. No, seriously, over the last few years it’s gotten really good.


Get A Load Of This Criminally Cool Red Dead Redemption Monopoly Set
