E3 2012 Highlights

By Joseph Luster

Killing Adolf Hitler is the ultimate endgame.

By Joseph Luster

There may not be a lot of big names in the modern warfare game coming out over the remainder of 2010 and the first few months of 2011, but that doesn’t mean that WWII-based titles are completely off the radar. Read more
