Review: Gamerz movie

February 18, 2007 by Dave

While researching my article on Gaming DVDs for one of our gift guides, I thought I had come across nearly all the movies done about gaming. It seems I missed at least one, which I discovered while searching around Netflix. That’s how I came across Gamerz. Going in, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect […]

Inq. of the Week: They Have a Plan
