Transformers: War for Cybertron Announced
I haven't updated this page in a long time, mainly because I've been working on this game night and day. It's going to be good! Transformers: War for Cybertron Video Game, Exclusive Debut Trailer HD | Game Trailers & Videos | GameTrailers.com. -
Bad Game Developer Conference Scheduling

The Aperture Database Structure
I'm working on decoding the Aperture database structure. Just playing around in the database has been very interesting. -
Darkwatch has shipped!
