Monday Musings

Mondays, happy mondays.

So let’s get on with it shall we?
Every so often a game comes along and it solidifies/perfects the genre as a whole.  You’ve played a bunch of these games over the years.  X-COM started the strategy group games, World of Warcraft exemplifies MMO games at their best, Batman: Arkham Asylum perfected the combat/stealth genre.  Dragon [...]
