August 3, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

July 27, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Bethesda’s Dishonored looks like it’s going to be a cracker of a game. We can hope for the playability of Skyrim but with an edgy, steampunky, alternative world, Jack the Ripper, noir sort of thing. It looks like players will have to make significant choices about how they’re going to play the game – before […]
