My Game of the Year: Fallout New Vegas
After a good week of thinking it through between Mass Effect 2 and New Vegas, I settled on the latter as my Game of the Year.

After making… Continue reading One Year of Press X or Die

GoG Thank Long Term Fans
A newsletter sent to current Good Old Games customers today thanks people for being with them the past two years as the site went through beta and into its current format (and for sticking by them after their stupid marketing stunt). And what better way to show your thanks than a free game.
I’m Getting Scared of the 8th Gen
This is reposted from Deans personal blog over at Deanb’s Musings, where I rant & rave about anything and everything. Mostly games and technology.
