Even if you’ve never read any of his stuff, you know that he was a master of the horror genre. Many horror writers/artists/etc have taken inspiration from Lovecraft. So it should come as no surprise when horror video games borrow from the writer. Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics is inspired…

Here are my first impressions of Mario + Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr’s Journey! I have never played Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story before. When I saw it on the…
