Blizzard Announce Big Rebalancing for StarCraft II
Blizzard is always tweaking and tuning the mechanics of their games. As a longtime player in World of Warcraft, I can attest to how their “tweaking” affects my Arms Warrior or Shadow Priest.

As usual, they will lean on the communi...[Read More]

After voicing my desire to highlight great non-shooter games in Indie Game Lookout last week, I received a few suggestions. I thank everyone who sent me suggestions.
