REAGAN GORBACHEV REVIEW
If you were around during the dark days of the Cold War, you might remember the unspoken, lingering unease that saturated the world for half a century. You would think that a game set during this time of extreme distrust would focus heavily on relations between the USA and the USSR.

By huge, I mean something along the lines of spending hundreds upon hundreds of hours in games such as Diablo 2, Torchlight, Titan Quest and lately, Diablo 3 and Torchlight 2. It’s a genre that’s a awfully simple when you think about it, yet is perfectly designed to satisfy our monkey brains in many ways other games cannot. You select or build a character that...[Read More]
