Joe Reviews - The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II

#Falcom's @TrailsColdSteel 2 continues the thrilling climax of the previous title... But does it set itself apart enough to warrant the split from the first game? Joe investigates!

William Discusses - Dragonball FighterZ is the best fighting game out there!

It's been over a year since the release of #Dragonball #FighterZ but is Will is still loving it? Spoilers - Yes!
