by Jeremy Hill on Jun 16, 2009 at 10:04 AM

Nostalgia can go a long way these days. We would gladly hand over money to play the same game we enjoyed more than ten years ago if we don’t own a physical copy. Some companies have taken it a step further and have or will remake games with a glossy… Continue Reading »

E3 2009: The flops, weaks spots and not-so-hots

by Jenni Lada on Jun 11, 2009 at 01:05 PM
