PS. We decided to make the resource pages because we all need to work together as a gaming community. This will allow
the gaming community to grow stronger. We hold the philosophy that every gamer is our ally, every game store is our
friend, and every game manufacturer is our life line to fun. Thus, we must unite in all our efforts to make the gaming
community as strong as possible.
