Final Fantasy X: The (Almost) Great Love Story

Bundled Releases Breathe New Life in to Older Video Game Franchises
Like many of our followers, I love video games. I really do. The bulk of my expenditures since 2008 have been on amassing a collection of current gen hardware and games that anyone would probably consider excessive. But I came into the game late. I got my first real home […]
