Looks Like Microsoft is Going to Buy Activision Afterall
For a minute, it looked like Microsoft’s buyout of Activision was going to be averted thanks to the EU not being on board with the merger.

Top 4 Worst Challenges in Spyro: Year of the Dragon
I’ve already discussed the top six worst challenges in Spyro 2, so it would only be fair if I complained a bit about the more aggravating parts of Spyro: Year of the Dragon. Though I only have four items in this list, two of them are a doozy. As before, I’m only counting challenges that…
