It also happens all the goddamn time.As part of the GOG summer sale, you can snag XCOM 2 for around $2.40/£1.80—that's less than I pay for a big bag of crisps sometimes in the UK,...
The idea of Rematch is much the same as it is for soccer: group up with other players and beat the other team. This largely means kicking the ball, scoring some goals, and picking your victory pose at the end of the match. It’s not that simple, though. A match in Rematch involves more than casually kicking a ball around with friends on the weekend. It requires you to learn...
