New for subscribers! I go to unnecessary trouble to play Head On, the first dot eater and wonder: why isn't Lane Hauck better remembered? He invented two entire genres!

From the exp. archive in 2015: I really struggled to write about Far Cry 2, because it hadn't lived up to the hype: expzine.com/2015/01/07/far…
