Odds and Ends

February 4th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Me

1. My previews of what I saw at the Paradox Con are going up at Gameshark. Short previews, mostly because there’s only so much you can say about an unfinished game that is not just a feature list, which you can find anywhere. I really hate writing previews, especially if there’s no hands on or […]
