East India Company – The Verdict

The East India Companies were perhaps the closest thing to Eve Online but-on-earth that history has to show for.

Bionic Commando – The Verdict

Ray, Pete, Egon, Ray and Slimer. These five names might provoke one of several different reactions to you, the PC owning reader of The Reticule.
