Today, me and Garvaos have decided to do something a little different than usual – a joint article. Together, we have compiled our own “Top Ten Game Characters” list, and will be taking it in turns to tell you why we have chosen each of the ones that we did. These characters aren’t listed in any real order – whittling down the numbers to ten characters was hard enough! So, I’ll get the ball rolling. KAIN I’ve always been a [...]

“Prototype… Prototype… a game with a lot of potential.
