by

Video Game Review – RIVE

by

Scott Watson reviews RIVE… I can’t keep up with this game. My old gaming bones just are not attuned to the maniacally impressive, gleefully and destructively over the top shooting that RIVE thrusts upon me. I was never the best at shooters the likes of Nemesis, Salamander and R-Type in the arcades or the likes […]
