Play Review: Rise of the Argonauts

Play-mag writes: "This gaming landscape is infested with sheep dressed in the skins of wolves. They are sleek and graceful to behold, and are possessed with an awesome capacity for intensity. Take the time to peel away the costume, however, and they reveal their true nature: woolly dolts, as likely to bleat in your face as roar at it. Any serious student of gaming will have suffered through the experience many times over, and as long as humans remain fascinated by shiny objects and loud noises, we will suffer it many times more.

Love can make you feel like you have everything in the world or that you have nothing left to cherish. Although these five examples of love are different in almost every way, these couples portray the power of love better than the rest.
