Both Pacific Rim games are terrible, by all accounts, which is totally unsurprising yet disappointing nonetheless. Youâd think someone would be able to make a decent video game out of giant robots fighting aliens.
Donât worry, thoughâif youâre into Jaegers and mech and all that jazz, thereâs a video game thatâs well worth your time: Xenogears, a role-playing game originally developed for the PlayStation 1 (and downloadable on the PlayStation Network to play on PS3 or Vita).
