Pompom: The Great Space Rescue follows the story of a hamster named Pompom who must rescue his human friend Hoshi after he was kidnapped by pirate cats. Based on the screenshots, I expected the game to be akin to Super Mario World if Mario was replaced by a hamster. But when I started the demo,…
Happy Spooktober everyone! As Cary said earlier, our original Halloween special is back, and this time we’re going back to what it’s all about: the scares! This week we’re talking about which genre scares us the most, and for me it’s the gaming equivalent of the suspense-thriller!
