Wiz ‘N Liz

Long before Project Gotham Racing, Bizarre Creations had already garnered fame for their fresh and innovative games.

Captain America and the Avengers

Most super hero games turn out, well… less than good. Ah hell, let’s be honest. Most of them just plain suck.

To see how bad it can get, read our full review.
