  • EMG Pickups
  • Gruv Gear®
  • Marshall Amplification
  • Orange Amps®

The news follows shortly after Vertigo Games and development studio Anotherway revealed the full setlist for Unplugged.

I've been an avid gamer since I stumbled upon ZORK running in my local Radio Shack in 1980. Ten years later I was working for Sierra Online. Since then I've owned nearly every game system and most of the games to go with them. Not sure if 40+ years of gaming qualifies me to write reviews, but I do it anyway.
