  • Review: Microsoft Flight Simulator (PC)

    Review: Microsoft Flight Simulator (PC)

    And if you look out to the left, you will see the finest simulation game on the market.

    When it comes to the simulation genre, I am not exactly what you would call an "expert." In fact, in all the years playing games, I have only dabbled in the genre a handful of times. That said, one of my guiltiest of guilty pleasures is American Truck Simulator for the PC. I have played that game casually here and there when I just wanted to chill and relax. I would have a video or some...

I'm not 100% sure but that's the impression I get given that the press release says he's a "naughty" character.

    He will bring "great martial arts skill and...

    The name may sound familiar.

    Beginning August 18, both EA Access and Origin Access will be given a new look and a new, unified name.
