“Hard in Hightown” coming to a bookstore near you!
Seeing as how I recently re-immersed myself in the Dragon Age universe thanks mostly to a game of the year copy of Dragon Age: Inquisition, it’s not easy for me to pass up a Dragon Age story in the news.

Sunday Video Round Up: December 3 – 9

On my old schedule, the article would have been posted early Saturday morning, essentially cutting off the PlayStation experience content. While…
Secret Of Mana Getting Limited Physical Release in the Americas
