Though the initial reviews were only guardedly positive, since release it's garnered a vocal following. Now I'm pretty excited for it.

I didn't really like feeling like those areas were "different" than the rest of the game.Ed Bordenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06440355599412162718noreply@blogger.com
