March 28th, 2012 Bruce McGee I see the Mass Affect nonsense has now spawned a few more articles on games journalism.

How about the fact that it has excellent music, visuals, difficulty, demon auctions, and a […]
Angry Birds In Space!
March 26th, 2012 Bruce McGee Another Angry Birds game, imagine that. I am sure some of you are groaning already. I admit I was hesitant to download Rovio’s latest installment in the franchise.
