Recently I have become rather obsessed with the idea of self improvement. I’ve started running. I’ve started eating breakfast. I’ve stopped being a vegetarian. I also got myself into thinking that games could help me achieve my dreams of being a better person. Since Brain Training sold approximately 67 billion copies, self improvement games have …
Usually our annual lookback at the worst console games of the year is in conjunction with Metacritic. As in, we use the site as a source.
