You can imagine my intrigue when I saw thatTents And Trees, a picross-ishpuzzlegame previously on Switch and phones, is coming to PC on April 24th....

And Andre Agassi The original announcement was only paired with a wee teaser trailer, so here’s the full and proper “announcement trailer”: Features-wise, TopSpin seems to contain what you expect: it’s got the four grand slams, famous courts like Indian Wells and Wimbledon, and a colection of “tennis legends” to play as.

I think that’s the right call for a series that has typically struggled to attract and to hold a large playerbase, and might prevent some of the microtransactional rot that eventually frustrated Ascend’s fans....

And a horny Sparrow It seems only fitting that Ghostbusters has become the movie franchise that refuses to die, returning for a smattering of so-so (at best) reboots and sequels on screen and elsewhere being relegated to another rich vein of nostalgia to be mined for cash.
