More Gex, you say? Can do!

In our look at the Gex Trilogy, we didn't spend a whole lot of time on the original 2D game, so we gave it its own dedicated video and review! It was a hit on the 3DO, but why is it usually overshadowed by its 3D sequels? Let's find out.

Happy weekend!

There hasn't been a new mainline Bond game in over a decade, meaning 007 Legends sent the video game arm of this franchise out on a low note. How low, you ask? Check out our longest review yet and find out!
