News Media Molecule's Dreams Is Not Dead Despite Paris No-Show
Don't stop believin'
If there was one game we would have bet our selection of imported Oreos on appearing at Paris Games Week on Monday, it was Dreams.

PGW 2017 Oure Channels the Spirit of ICO and Journey
Shadow of the dragon
We were going to start this article complaining about the influx of ICO and Journey wannabes until we learned that Oure has been developed by Heavy Spectrum.
