And we’re [...]

Back to the Future The Game: It’s About Time (PC) review
The last two weeks have been especially kind to thirtysomething gamers. Much of Tron: Legacy was a heartwarming nostalgia trip, most notably the scene at Flynn’s arcade to Journey’s ‘Separate Ways’ and now this week Telltale Games reimagines another landmark 80′s film, Back to the Future.
