Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Review - 2007 has never been so futuristic
When a game released in 2013 has the tagline 'The year is 2007. It is the future,' you know it's going to be crazy, absurd and insane. That's exactly what Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon has absolutely no relation to the game Ubisoft released last y...

Professional Baseball Spirits 2013 Review: "A sports game unlike anything seen on the western market"
Bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, 3-2 count, and the batter steps back into the box. The pitcher stares the batter down but he reciprocates the pleasantry as they try and gain a mental edge. Here comes the windup, the pitch, and the swing. Any baseball fan has heard this a million times as it is the most r...
