So while I expressed a more “big picture” concern for the always-online functionality of SimCity a couple of weeks ago, it turns out that the far more immediate concern was…well…the far more immediate concern. Much screaming and wringing of hands has taken place in the week since SimCity was released, first about its initial “midnight … Continue reading
Due to an unfortunate lack of American currency, I was forced to cancel my GameFly account last week, returning the video game Darksiders II without ever slipping it into any of my PS3’s delicious slots.
