Demon’s Souls Review
Demon’s Souls was all the rage well over a year ago, having been released in Japan and North America in 2009. It’s finally made its way over to Australia and Europe, albeit several months after fans would have imported. There was…

After being pleasantly surprised with the kid-friendly highlights packages that were the Twilight of the Republic and Rise of The Empire Star Wars Play Sets for Disney Infinity 3.0, The Force Awakens joins the party with a cheeky adaptation careful…
