Warhammer 40K: Inquisitor Martyr - Taking ARPG to the Imperium of Man

Loot & Legends: A Fun Mobile Diversion

I'm not really one for mobile games. Typically I get the press release and just send it to the trash bin. It's not my area of focus so I really don't pay that much attention to them. Such was the case with Loot & Legends. If I hadn't been prompted from a text by one of my friends to check it out I never would have even bothered to install it. I'm glad he took the time to send me that text.

Why Release Needs to Happen in Summer 2017

I know it's not possible, but right now, at this very moment, would probably be the absolute best time to launch Crowfall. Second to that, though, is right around summer of 2017. I know that seems like a long time from now (hint: it is), but the timing after WoW: Legion is crucial.
