BloodRayne: Betrayal Giveaway – Kill Vampires…With Style!


WINNER ANNOUNCED: Commentor iamlauratran has won! Thank you all for participating, and keep your eyes open for more contests!

Whatever am I to do?” Well, you’re in luck. We happen to have one XBLA copy of BloodRayne: Betrayal, and it has YOUR name written all over it! Read the full story

This is the core concept of Marooners’ Rock; we geek out on the things of our past, present, and future. Society and cultural norms be damned!
