Yes, I know I'm late with these. Still, better late than never, right? Two quickie reviews are dished up:  would-be Talisman killer World of Warcraft: The Adventure Game, and the German wunderkind, be-all-and-end-all, shit-eatin' good Agricola. Join us on our quest to be KING FARMER, and while we're at it, stop by "Booty Bay" for a little "bling." If that doesn't scream legalized prostitution, nothing does.
