    Feature | Game of the Week(s): Rift

    Sorry, we skipped one. Blame it on the GDC.

Fortunately we rewarded two games in one week last month, so if I pick one game from the last two weeks, balance will be restored to the universe (my spreadsheet).

    Interview | BioWare's Mike Laidlaw: A defence of Dragon Age II

    "I'm a little surprised by the 6/10s."
