While we saw loads of games over in Koln, there’s plenty of other stuff on show as well. Calibur 11 are in the business of blinging up your console. Perhaps you were disappointed at the recent news that Xbox will no longer be manufacturing shiny 360 slims? No worries, you can cover up that cheap-looking matte finish with a slick [...]
