Many of you may have grown up watching the iconic He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe animated series, but perhaps not its spinoff series She-Ra Princess of Power. This was likely the case for many male viewers, considering that the original She-Ra series was primarily targeted at a female audience. Back in 2018 wh

Streets of Rage 4 is an awesome throwback beat-em-up that's made for 2020; it also pays huge respect to the past 90s series. By now during the weekend you should have at least cleared the game a couple of times. If you notice, there are rankings you can get for each level from the easiest to the hardest difficulty. It'

Sure, it's a great game deserving of all the praise it's getting right now, but a lot of gamers (and even Square Enix, it seems, consider

A brand new fighting game has entered the field. It's a beautiful and vibrant game called Granblue Fantasy: Versus (GBVS) developed by Arc System Works, who are well-known for their works on anime-style fighting games.

Released in 1999, Final Fantasy VIII (FFVIII) seems to be one of the forgotten titles from the classic Final Fantasy era.
