Oh, you’re THAT sort of gamer…

I see an awful lot of people online complaining about games that they just purchased, and how bad the game is in their eyes. One thing that is quite common about them though, is that they never actually bothered to even have a quick read to see what the game is about. So please, to [...]

Gotta catch all the repetitive strain injury!
