We’re all guilty of something, but rather than fill these hallowed pages with our sinful confessions we’re instead going to share our top five gaming guilty pleasures. All of the games below faced a harsh critical reception upon release, but despite their faults they aren’t entirely without merit…no matter how dubious those merits actually are. …
There weren’t a great deal of new releases out last week, and as such this week’s UK top 40 is devoid of all new entries. We were expecting Namco’s Inversion to enter in the bottom half of the top 40 but it hasn’t even managed that. According to Chart-Track it entered at a lowly #50. …
