Now Reading: Dungeons and Desktops First Impressions

May 31st, 2008 · 4 Comments · PCGamer, Print Screen, RPGs

I just started Matt Barton’s Dungeons and Desktops. I was thinking about reviewing it for my next Print Screen column for Crispy Gamer, but I noticed that Desslock just reviewed it for PC Gamer.

February 20th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Big Huge Games, RPGs

Big Huge Games is moving away from the strategy genre for a while, it seems.
