So… Facebook Is Inspiring, After All…

So, Facebook made a few changes some people seem really, really upset about, as poking around on the site today has revealed.

Drakensang: Complete Saga In Stores Now (Well, GameStop Stores, That Is)…

I’m absolutely recommending this collection to fans of open-world fantasy games, deep RPG experiences and anyone who likes games with at least a hundred hours of gameplay. Even better… it’s on a retail DISC, not a download, so even if you have a crappy Internet connection, you can STILL buy and play a quality RPG while getting a great deal in the process.
