Ubisoft has kicked off a fanart contest celebrating Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle. Since the game’s release last year, it’s been common to see Rabbids’ social media accounts sharing fanart from fans all over the world. Now there’s an incentive to make even more! Open to those 13 years old…
Normally, I like my shooters cute and horizontal, but Ikaruga — a game that doesn’t quite fall under my usual scope — still caught my attention. It was a name I heard again and again as a prime, yet accessible, bullet hell shooter. While I played my Fantasy Zones and…
