by Kirk Hamilton
That game you bought last month isn’t the same game today. It’s almost certainly been patched, updated, rebalanced, and tweaked. The original version is shrinking from view as it washes downriver. But is it better now? Truer? Should you have played more of it back when you bought it, or waited?

by Brian Ashcraft
Dsidersometimes I have a glimmer of hope for the age we live in
The Sun and Moon version of Exeggutor sure is silly. The character has been turned into a full-on palm tree, which begs for a ridiculous and pricey collectable.
