If you’re a fan of the music in Rockman Xover (and that might be the only aspect you’re a fan of), then Capcom has done one good on you.

As he did last year, our resident comic book reviewer for “The Blue Ink,” would like to remind everyone that as per the instruction manual for Mega Man X, June 4th is the “Day of Sigma,” aka– as he puts it– “Reploid Independence Day.” It’s a century early, give or take a few years, but […]
