Path of Exile has really taken the PC game community by storm, and it’s still only in Beta. The work of New Zealand creatives at Grinding Gear Games have achieved positive notority from adopting a completely free-to-play model that is so fair that players want to buy the microtransactions on…
Read MoreI’ll be the first to admit I’m not a huge Zelda fan. The storyline(s), puzzles and creepy characters always put me off as a kid. Unlike Mario, The Legend of Zelda never sucked me in from beginning to end. Indeed, Zelda was one of the few big names of gaming…
