Welcome. Yes, but if you write a blog, a review and post a news story you'll probably jump into the top 10.

They've changed? Can I still worship the same Roman god -- or has that changed too?

What have all you Pagans been playing this weekend?

Me:

It's a shame. I played about 6 hours in, and then couldn't play no more!

It's high-time I truly learned what everyone was RAVING about this time last year! I loved the God of War games (for the most part), but never finished a single Devil May Cry game. Will I continue my streak of playing and beating games that are outside of my normal comfort zone? Time will tell!

Also tried out this. Meh. Not bad. Not great. I can see people totally getting into it. Not me. Not now at least.
