  • Necro Game Curious SiN Episodes: Emergence – I Pressed Continue

    Justin and Cole try to figure out why SiN Episode 2 never happened.

  • Game Curious Brigador – At a Destructive Pace

    Justin steels himself to learn the controls of a new mech… then a new tank… then a new plane.

  • Game Curious Pharaonic – Egyptian Soulless

    Justin revisits a violent PS2 favorite. Manhunt gets up close and personal with some nasty gang members and some nasty camera controls. Whatever the result it is probably Brian Cox’s fault. Previous Memories of Manhunt It’s really slow, but brutally fun. You can make noise with your microphone to attract the attention of enemies. Brian…
