The Museum of Modern Games

Send us Fan Mail We're joined by an Outsider of our own (okay, its Jason again) to discuss our wildly different approaches to navigating the dark miasma of Dunwall in the 2012 stealth-action game Dishonored .  This game has it all - possession of corpse-eating rats, decadent masquerades of morally bankrupt aristocracy, magical scrimshaw, and all the jellied eels you can eat!
