Brink - deja vu? →
A disappointed man of the W:ET-community Crossfire.nu writes a short but yet insightful view on Brink.
Time for Bethesda to wake up and Splash Damage to take action and stand up to their game publisher? The game could still be saved, but the competitive community need help by its developers.

With Brink released in Europe just two weeks ago one might think it would be impossible to come up with a European Top 10 Rankings. Nuts you say and you might be right. But as we started planning on a monthly Brink Top 10 feature we just couldn’t resist doing one for May.
