The anticipation commingled with disappointment is really a peculiar feeling if you’re not used to it. But it is [...]

The introduction of the Frostbite engine, and really, their first true commercial success on the consoles. But there has been a shadow overcasting the Battlefield series since its very inception.

The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom

by Ben Alford · February 21st, 2010 · 5 Comments

Ever since the 2008 Independent Games Festival, I’ve had an eye on The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom.
