There was an old game on the Super Nintendo named Shadowgate that always used to scare me. The eerie music, the fear of the unknown, and of course the possibility of dying at every turn for the slightest misstep added up to a tension that few games could achieve at the time. Very few games [...]
My wife won’t admit it, but she loves this song just as much as I do. Sure, it’s risque in the extreme, but it’s fun to be naughty sometimes. Besides, I’ve been a fan of Nickelback for years now. Leader of Men, Never Again, and Someday were all instant favorites. I fully intend on buying [...]
