It’s taken me far longer than it should have to get myself into Skyward Sword and actually finish it, but I [...]

Are there too many similar games out there? Yes, but this shouldn’t be surprising to anyone.

By now you’ve probably played Mass Effect 3 a handful of times. If you’re a Toy-TMA regular, or perhaps stumbled over from The Escapist and wondered what I do when I’m not being a fool on camera, then you may be asking, “Hey Chris, where’s your review of Mass Effect 3?” Well random regular/confused Escapist [...]
