Hey I'm out here asking for contacts again. Does anyone have a good reach-out for Castlevania: Belmont's Curse? Really loved the demo and would like to check out the full release for @rogue.site!

Is Wolverine a great PS exclusive? Well. Let's ask a different question. Is there some stuff to really admire in Wolverine? Ryan thinks so www.rogue.site/editorials/d...
rogue.site
Despite all of its obvious faults, I couldn't help but really like Wolverine
Wolverine is a flawed game. But like so many flawed first titles, it could be truly spectacular in a sequel or a full-blown X-Men game

Rogue wouldn’t exist without Rascal. Without Chase. Or without Rowan. Rogue has seen similar issues here (times are hard, and it’s hard to spend money on games), but we don’t have the same overhead because it’s sadly not our main job. But Rascal has earned FT pay. Help them get it!
