For us, it all started with The 7th Guest for the PC. We were indescribably intrigued by this game at the time. The ability to journey through a beautifully rendered haunted mansion (as good as you could pre-render n 1993) via a first person perspective was something that, [...]
December 2008. Sony PlayStation 2 has been a viable product for eight years, selling about 140 million units wordwide, more than any other video game console in history.
