Only South Park looks interesting for me. Guess I won't get it on PC!
I'm sure south park will be a solid buy! They always pretty entertaining imo
Yes, although I found the first one dragged on a bit too long and there wasn't much depth to it. But I probably won't mind if it is on portable.
Great minds think alike :)
Man the Switch is becoming a superstar of gaming!
It certainly is! Its got a great kit!
