Hands on with Just Dance 2016 @ Fan Expo 2015

Gears of War Ultimate Edition Review: From Past to Present
It’s always advisable to approach video game rereleases and refurbishes with some trepidation. Games that were great a decade ago don’t necessarily transcend time and space in the gaming world. Video game trends flux and flow; titles and genres can succumb to the passage of time.
