There’s any number of subtle innuendoes we could’ve gone with, but this is what we’re doing I guess. If you haven’t got there yet, we’re talking about games that aren’t just slow rides, but instead leave you gasping for more right as they climax. Before we finish, we talk about No Loose Ends, Eselsbrücke, and The Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship.
