Game Geezers Grinding Their Gums at 12-Year-Old Goldeneye Critic
The Addicted Geek ran one of our younger brethren, a 12-year-old gamer nicknamed Minigeek, through the gauntlet of GoldenEye and recorded the boy's responses for posterity. Addicted did it for the sake of testing the supposed "timelessness" of the title, and he was vastly disappointed with the boy's lack of sensitivity for his entrenched nostalgia. More »
