August 10th, 2009 · 12 Comments · Crispy Gamer, Paradox, Review, WW2

While I still wait on some replies regarding Rise of Nations, I have to get my E3 schedule straightened out. So far it looks like I have a billion things to see and no time for much of anything like relaxing or eating. I’ll be there representing Crispy Gamer, so you can follow whatever I […]
