Starting now, I’ll be making an effort to update the Looking Glass once a week! Super Smash Brothers came out of nowhere and instantly became its own genre. The ‘mascot brawler’ spawned sequel after sequel, with increasingly ambitious story modes
Bloodborne: Review
“I have frequently wondered if the majority of mankind ever pause to reflect upon the occasionally titanic significance of dreams, and of the obscure world to which they belong. Whilst the greater number of our nocturnal visions are perhaps no
