Long ago, the best game a phone could pull off was the immortal "Snake," so we had no choice but to turn to dedicated portables for anything more complicated than that.

On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Jeremy Parish, Mikel Reparaz, and Ray Barnholt to find out why all we really want for Christmas is

2016/01/11

It's time to face facts: Half-Life 2 is officially old—and to make things even more tragic, we still don't have a Half-Life 3.
