Revisiting Games Gone By
I’ve been on a bit of a spin around the tracks with some games from the past. Three different games with three different motivations why. And it occurred to me this might be something I want to do more often…
Finding an All-The-Time Game
Recently Belghast posted on giving up the chase for the ‘Forever Game’. It didn’t really occur to me at the time of Bel’s post, but it has occurred to me since with my return to Monster Hunter: World. While the…

Coming Games of Interest — March 2019 Onward
There is a lot coming out over the next little while that I’m quite interested to play. Normally, I’d just take things as they come. Really ‘seat-of-my-pants’ it. I still might. But I can feel the end of my tether…
