Mighty no 9

Mighty No. 9 is an all-new Japanese side-scrolling action game that takes the best aspects of the 8- and 16-bit era classics you know and love, and transforms them with modern tech, fresh mechanics, and fan input into something fresh. You play as Beck, the 9th in a line of powerful robots, and the only one not infected by a mysterious computer virus that has caused mechanized creatures the world over to go berserk.

You have no choice: the other Mighty Numbers…Must. Be. Destroyed.  Continue reading Mighty no 9

No need whatsoever. Bless ‘em for doing it anyway. Continue reading HITMAN ep3 Marakesh
