Preserving Retro Gaming Magazines
As avid retro gamers, the Bros still reminisce about leafing through the pages of our favorite old gaming mags, hoping to find a helpful password or some maps of final dungeons.

Guerilla Games to release Killzone 3 in 2011?
Killzone 2 was a beautiful game. It’s ravaged Helghan landscapes and impressive replication of really for reals guns blew the Bros away. It really showcased what the PS3 could do.

3D Dot Game Heroes is SO BOSS
As a lover for Action- RPGs, 3D Dot Game Heroes had me at hello.

Yeah, I have a radar. It also doesn’t hurt that the game [...] -
