Dragon’s Lair Trilogy Now Available for PlayStation 4

New Game- Zombi Terror Brings The Walking Dead Adventuring to Classic Computers
February 16th, 2015 Carl Williams The Walking Dead is an interesting hit for A&E Television, a station that is kind of new to the zombie genre. On one hand it is completely outside of their comfort zone for content and on the other it fits right in with the current motif of action shows. The team at Kabuto Factory are […]
