Emergency 2013/PC/Quadriga Games

And I mean ‘smoking hot’ as in, on fire. Literally. Not a full game, Quadriga Games’ Emergency 2013 is actually an expansion pack for the 2012 rescue title. Basically that means you’ll need Emergency 2012 to play. Fortunately, if you want to dive into some search and rescue, 2013 will…
