One Cowboy Hat. One Chainsaw. Ten Thousand Zombies.

  After a marathon play-through of all three Mass Effect games, I needed a bit of a change of pace.  I found it. I am an unashamed fan of the Oneechanbara games.  They’re not exactly high-concept or high-budget games – … Continue reading

That’s not gonna help the backlog.
