  18. Planetside 2 Preview: The Classic Online Shooter Returns

That time we camped that spawn tube again and again and again.

    Review | I Am Alive Review

    The road much travelled.

    OK, we get it. When the world ends, resources will be scarce, plants and animals will die out, human beings will eat each other and everyone will dress like a tramp. Years of popular fiction - games, novels and films - have rammed this home to such an extent that it blankets the world of pop culture like its own sort of nuclear winter.
