Spoilers for AssCreed Brotherhood. GTA4 isn't fun to play but Saints Row 3 is too easy. We completely talk around Bioshock Infinite because Harrison is poor. Lara Croft should have been a bisexual! 2012 was year of the Indies and 2013 is killing off the stupidity in the industry. 3D is the litmus tests to make sequels. Primal Carnage is dino-cray! Then finally we pitch the pilot for Killers Killers!
