Why Fight When You Can Run?
It is an idea that most games discourage, to say the least. Combat, hitting things, shooting things, cutting things, breaking things, slaying monsters, just fighting seems to be the big focus of most of the more well known, popular games

Tempura of the Dead: Review
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8O7qCvdZsE&fs=1&hl=en_US] President Tompson is a bad enough dude to save the country. And if he dies, there’s always loyal Gates to back him up, without regard for the intricacies of presidential sucession. Tempura of the Dead is a three dollar
