Final Fantasy VII Re-Imagined as a 2D Brawler, ala Final Fight and Streets of Rage
August 16th, 2015 Carl Williams Ah, the brawler, a series that has gotten a bad rap in gaming for being shallow, not much fun and generally generic.

New Game- Evoland Now Available for Android and iOS
February 4th, 2015 Carl Williams Anyone here remember a little shooter title called Genetos? In that game you played your way through scrolling shooter history.
