Have you ever played a game that everyone said was the bees' knees but then found yourself wondering what game everyone else was playing? Have you ever played a game you thought was completely awesome to then find out that no one gave a damn about it? We have too, and we're talking all about it. We also talk Skyrim, more Demon Souls, more Batman: Arkham City and playing self created HTML 5 games.
