Left 4 D&D

DLC Review: Alan Wake – The Signal

2009 was a great year for games, we had Batman: Arkham Asylum, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Left 4 Dead 2 amongst others, and this year seems to be a continuation of that. It’s incredible to think that already this year we’ve managed to get our hands on Mass Effect 2, God of War 3 and Super Mario Galaxy 2, with games from the Halo, Call of Duty, Assassin’s Creed, Fallout and Castlevania series all still to come.

Adam thinks… For twice

People are lazy, very lazy, (me especially), but its not written into our genetic code, or a result of our upbringing, it is in fact the consequence of our ever growing intelligence and the utilization of our intelligence to create more and more gadgets and gizmos, which sole purpose is to make our lives a lot lazier.
