Ewe Asked For It

Ewe Asked For It

Greetings gaming goons! The Axis of Stevil has got the goods on the newest next-gen contender. Limping, at the last minute, onto the battlefield is struggling Seguh’s swan song, the Seguh Ewe. The Seguh Ewe (homophone to “You” in English or “u” in txtmsg) is the paramount first-player gaming experience.

The Seguh Ewe takes what misanthropes want into account and plays games the other consoles are too pussy to publish.
