News Cooperative FPS Crime Boss: Rockay City Looking Limp in Lost Candy Trailer
Cocaine cowboy
Cooperative FPS Crime Boss: Rockay City got a new gameplay trailer, and it's just fine. Serviceable but kind of flat, which is a shame because the cutscenes themselves look like they could tell a schlocky crime caper and have the star power to back it up. The action we do see involves some gunplay and reclaiming your lost pills, but...
