Oh The Sim-anity!

So while I expressed a more “big picture” concern for the always-online functionality of SimCity a couple of weeks ago, it turns out that the far more immediate concern was…well…the far more immediate concern.

I Never Played: Darksiders II

Due to an unfortunate lack of American currency, I was forced to cancel my GameFly account last week, returning the video game Darksiders II without ever slipping it into any of my PS3’s delicious slots.
