October 25, 2007 - 18 years ago

One of my regular readers, Andre Odendaal (Mailowl), emailed me this article that he wrote which I completely agree with. Take a look and let Andre know what you think.

Yet another story has hit the internet today claiming that Blacksite on the PS3 is still being plagued with development troubles.
