If that doesn’t show a serious appetite for the series, nothing will. It also likely helps that the game is on sale right now; you can pick up the Dark Arisen version of the game (ergo: the complete edition) for £3.84\/$5<\/a> – an absolute bargain at 84% off its sticker price. The sale lasts until June 23.<\/p>\n
