Chances are if you’re reading this article you are an avid and active gamer but take a second and think, how many games do you own?

Now you have a rough figure, think some more…how many of those games have you seen the end of?

If those two numbers are not the same i’m afraid you have fallen into the trap that all gamer’s do; you have accumulated a gaming backlog. However fear not for you are not alone! According to Valve 37% of games bought on steam have NEVER been loaded let alone completed.

Gaming’s Forgotten Second Sons

To celebrate our first guest review, we’re looking at siblings in gaming, specifically; younger brothers (see what we have done here?). Throughout the history of gaming family-ties have been prevalent and some families have become the videogame equivalent of the Baldwin’s or the Wayans.
