Popucom is Puyo Puyo Meets Splatoon

Sep 23, 11:25 games

Macross: Shooting Insight Hands-On: A Solid SHMUP With Rocking Music

Sep 23, 08:25 games

The main thing that makes Macross: Shooting Insight special is the IP. ― Back in the mid-90s, I was a die-hard Robotech fan. It was one of the few anime airing on TV at the time and, in an era where it regularly cost $35 for two episodes of anime on VHS, it was awesome to have such a long, complex series to watch. Of course, as I grew older, I learned about both the original Macross anime and its var...
