Too Much Awesome

Every series seems to have its Black Sheep. For one reason or another, the go-to answer for the worst game in the Zelda series, besides the Zelda games on the CD-i of course, tends to be Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Why exactly does this title get so much ire from gamers and the [...]

BurgerTime is back…and that’s too bad.
