Ah, Metro. Scorn of Washingtonians everywhere, and unfortunate mode of transportation to descending tourist hordes. In this edition, I pick on this poor lady but she’s really symptomatic of a trend I’ve noticed in recent months when standing on the platforms. Several years ago Metro installed these boxy, rather pointless info tote boards where you […]
MLB 13: The ShowPlatforms: PlayStation 3, Vita Genre: Sports Publisher: Sony ESRB Rating: E, for Everyone Grade: 4 stars (out of 5) I often reread previous reviews when tackling a yearly franchise to check on any significant improvements in the new iteration.
