TERA launches – combat video leads the charge

May 3, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

April 22, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This trailer has been out for a couple of days now and this post is just to make sure you’ve seen it. Okay, this post would also like to debate the spelling; Dishonored or Dishonoured – but is willing to set aside all those minor concerns because the game looks epic. This is a story […]
