Brawl: The Card-Based Boxing Game

Brawl: The Card-Based Boxing Game

There’s a new game out for iOS and it’s called Brawl. The game made it to my radar for two reasons — first because it was a free release and secondly, it was a card-based boxing game.

Last night, I gave in and started watching one of the newest TV shows airing today: Grimm. With The Walking Dead being as dragging as it is – I haven’t seen the latest episode, and I don’t particularly feel the desire to do so – it is about time for TV show junkies to cast their nets for other fish.

I have been hearing about this TV show in the past month, but I didn’t really know anything about it Read more »
