Obscure: The Aftermath lives up to its name as it melds the horror and gore aspect of Resident Evil 3, the teenage angst and youth stereotypes of Tony Hawk, and the music of what could be seen as Enya on crack.

Thanks to these truly deep questions I was excited for the opportunity to review LucasArts' Star Wars Battlefront Renegade Squadron for the PSP. Read More.
