TrackMania Video

Yes, this is an old video. It’s at least two years old.  But it’s still really cool.  Enough that it made me want to check out the game based on this alone. The team that did this one, did other videos, but none were as awe inspiring as this.

Funimation’s Growing Library- Part 2

In addition to the acquisition of many Geneon titles, Funimation also announced that they acquired over 30 ADV titles.  We had known that ADV had issues with its partner Sojitz.  Titles had been pulled and then reappeared from the ADV store.  Retailers were also saying that they were getting notice of...

First Impressions: Age of Conan
