No Excuses: Planescape Torment released on Good Old Games

Unless you live under a gaming rock (or are one of them console only folks), you know Good Old Games shut down for a week last week. Many felt they were dead, and it stirred up all the existential scares

DMC reboot runs quiet, runs deep

October CoroCoro reveals more awkward Pokemon

Okay, I freely admit: at this point, four days from its Japanese release, I’m excited about Pokemon Black and White. Genuinely excited. The kind of excitement I reserve for things like Bastion, or for firing up a game of Solium
