Like, you know this type of story—it’s just usually a story for older audiences. A person… Read More »
[embedded content] Pieces of the Past Is Not As Much Fun As Expected The first issue I have with LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy—Pieces of the Past is that the title is pushing the limits of what I would expect from any piece of media, movie or otherwise. I’m going to call it Pieces… Read More »
