Read MoreThe last episode of the inaugural season of Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead game is upon us. What better way to celebrate than to take a walk down memory lane with Marty McFly A.J. Locascio and Gary Whitta. Warning (they’re gonna warn you on the video, but I figured I’d…
Read MoreEA and Bioware’s Star Wars MMO The Old Republic now officially has a free to play option- and one deadly assassin droid.
