Games with easy English - an IFDB Poll
by Fitbos
RSS FeedI'm a Chinese guy who is really interested in text-based stuff, but my English is not very good for me to play games with hard English. Especially games with slangs every where. So I'm just looking for games that really written in easy English, with little slangs, which is easy to play as well. Thx!
