14 DAY TRIAL // The big launch month of March is now behind us, which means that we had time to look a little closer at games like Crysis 2, the shooter from Crytek, for which we have a full Softpedia review and a set of Gamer Diaries, and Shogun 2: Total War, which also has some new Diaries.
We also have both an early Quick Look and a full Softpedia review for Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed.
And for avid readers we also delivered an EndWeekGame article which talks about our free time, a Weekend Reading piece that looks at the continued success of Dragon Age: Legends and at the possibilities it is opening up for Facebook-based gaming. We also have a Weekend Reading feature about the length of our gaming experiences.
