NO LIFE 3 – REVIEW
After fifty long years, the wait is finally overt The third and final installment of the No Life series will he available for purchase TOMORROW! As has been reported already, garners should not expect any major shakeups in regard to the protagonist. We still play as strong-silent-type scientist Baran Freimensch.
