Final Fantasy XII is only the second game in the series I’ve ever completed. And it took me forever to play all the way through. I mean, seriously, I think it took me over two years. I put the game aside for 4-6 months at a time more than once while I was playing through […]

After much anticipation, the free promotional game for Dragon Age is out and playable. You can sign into EA’s servers while playing and unlock various items which you can then use in Dragon Age: Origins. There are also five achievements. After playing, I have to say I was a bit surprised – this is really […]
