I’ve always been wary of MMO’s on account of my somewhat addictive personality (current addictions : Boobs, beer, and being awesome).

Many gamers were blissfully unaware that Exclusive books had entered the video game retailing business – until their Flashmob sale yesterday, where they pretty much gave away games including Fable 3, Dead Rising 2, FIFA 11 for the absurd cost of R50.
