Ever since I can remember, people have been talking about the importance of saving the rainforest While being full of beautiful and rare flora/fauna (and possible cures for all kinds of diseases), it would appear that the most important aspect of preserving these large groupings of exotic trees is due to the fact that they’re responsible for providing quite a bit of our breathable air.

You once had promise, but ended up failing in more ways than one. We only mention you one last time so that others can avoid wasting their time with you. The Nominees Dragon Age II - When you’re BioWare, you’re held to a pretty high standard in turning out action RPGs, especially when it comes to your sequels. (It’s a rough job, turning out awesome first games). And… when the first game in the series was Dragon: Age Origins, beloved for its well developed [...]

The recent blunder that is Jurrassic Park: The Game has come to overshadow the other more entertaining Jurassic Park sequel Jurassic Park 2: The Chaos Continues and with that, the story of one Michael Wolfskin. Too much to be a travesty but not quite significant enough to be sacrilegious, Mr. Wolfskin’s tale is one that starts with an outrageous request but ends with a mysterious wanderer whose dreams are fueled by the nightmares that define his life. Fans of the [...]
