SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy review: female fanservice fighter
SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy is the latest in the current trend of crossover fighting games with simple gameplay. I’m actually a fan of this trend, especially with most fighting….
AIRHEART review: hunting the great sky whale way up high
