An EverQuest II Holiday
Our chief editor finds himself suddenly addicted to EverQuest 2 this week. But given the quality of the online game world, who can blame him?
Presidential Plan
Gamers have been asking us to endorse a game-friendly candidate for president, and after a lot of research, we have.
