Back in September, Mike reviewed Hot Wheels Unleashed, which was Mattel and Milestone’s attempt to bring Hot Wheels nostalgia to consoles and PC. Now, the toy company, alongside the developer and publisher, has made a brand new announcement. Monster Trucks are coming…

DAEMON X MACHINA Is Free On Epic
