By marrying her, Cain’s father instantly gained access to the immense estate owned by Xavier’s father. Read More...

The fanboys get upset if you write anything detracting and for everyone else, it just isn’t cool or in vogue to write something positive. This article will have a sprinkling of both positives and negatives as I look at the new Playstation 3 firmware update 3.0.
