Yes, I’m one of those people that has never played D&D but is now wanting to give it a go. Because, hey, it’s apparently ‘cool’ now! But wait a minute, let’s take a step back. There are obviously armies of people that will say it…
I’ve always been a fan of Street Fighter 2. Ever since I first played it in an arcade and was totally wowed by the graphics, the music, the sound effects and the one-on-one action. It was just a game that totally hit the zeitgeist of the…
