James Woods interview: Leone, Casino, Oliver Stone, Hemdale

Underappreciated games: Sin

This game was Ritual EntertainmentsSin,and it was superb. It was set in the near future in the fictional city of FreePort. One of these is Hardcorps, helmed by Colonel John R. Blade.

I remember my first run-in with British police like it was yesterday. It was the only day of my extended stay in London that I chose to not wear sunglasses.
