I don’t want to rattle off the usual game review cliches, but the Close Range series has always been known for frenetic action, witty writing, and lots of references to exploding heads.

I agree with IGN.com’s review when they said:
“So intense it will make your balls sweaty.“
Thanks to ERI for providing the review build and Joe Feld there for the awesome night out in Vegas. Hey Joe where are the pictures at?
