Knights in the Nightmare – Crinkled Box Art
I recently purchased a few Atlus games on the DS, one of which was Knights in the Nightmare. It came packed inside a cardboard box that held the actual plastic DS game case and a bonus CD. When I pulled out the plastic game case I noticed that the outside cover insert is completely damaged,…

New Mass Effect 2 Footage
This new developer’s diary for Mass Effect 2 makes the game look pretty awesome (there are some minor spoilers, so beware). I like how I can just push people out of windows if they don’t answer my questions how I want them to be answered. Which is what I do in real life. What it…
