In the early days of the GameCube one of the first games I made sure to get was SSX Tricky. It was awesome and I played it endlessly until I had mastered every single trick of every single character on every single course. Eventually I got bored of it because, well, it stopped being fun …

Review – Call of Duty 2: Big Red One
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008 by christianI have a confession to make.
