rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author NetDanzr - It came out of nowhere, appeared on the store shelves for a few short weeks and disappeared once again. It never created any buzz, and I have yet to meet another person who actually played the game. It's a real shame, though, as War and Peace is...

Sending shivers down my spine

Mon, 6 Oct 2003 10:39:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author NetDanzr - If there’s one adventure game you should play this year, it’s Dark Fall.
