A tower defense game, but with tanks and more upgrading.

I tried the demo and didn’t give it much of a chance. For example, I didn’t customize units. I prefer the more sandbox-style of Gratuitous Space Battles.

Something about a crime and lawyers and a court and stuff, but with racism.

Not my thing.

Based on A Time to Kill – (1988 book), by John Grisham

A rather quirky, authentic, band/singer. She sings about all the things she’s not.

Fronted by Marina Diamandis, hence the name.

Small, concise, full-featured and overall incredible. This is an essential part of my toolkit.
