Unfortunately, it was also difficult to access without the right tools and those tools were expensive.

Will a remix lose some of what made the original great?
In recent years, the story mode for first-person shooting games has started to feel like an afterthought, something to shoehorn into your multiplayer experience for those of us who complain, but not a serious part of the process. There are exceptions to this, of course, and some FPS have started to use the story mode in earnest, so now seems the perfect time to bring back [Read More…]
