Immersion Therapy Stack of Shame: Tempted

Immersion Therapy Stack of Shame: Tempted

UPDATE: I just got an email from MadCatz, offering a replacement dongle, in response to an email I sent them last week. Great job, MC! This week, I spent too much time NOT playing games.

Immersion Therapy Stack of Shame: Enslaved

Immersion Therapy Stack of Shame: Enslaved

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West – a game that was hyped, then panned, by a majority of the sites I frequent. This is a game I actually bought, which may sound odd, but as a game reviewer, I get many of my games for review sent to my by the publishers themselves. This can lead to a bit of entitlement,...
