Game Thoughts – No Man’s Sky
I’m not calling this a review as I’m not that far in, but I already have a lot of complicated thoughts about No Man’s Sky.  Here they are in no particular order: Is it any good?  I don’t…know?  Seriously, I can see how some people can tune into it – there is something zen about scooting around…

Mobile Game Review – Marvel’s Avengers Academy
Marvel’s latest mobile game is Avengers Academy, which is one of those thing where they reimagine existing characters (hero and villain) as teenagers. Â It works well here, as it seems like there’s some time travel-type shenanigans hinted at as far as the story goes. Â It’s by TinyCo, and if you’ve played one of their other…

Game Review – Home
Okay, just finished my first playthrough of Home, an indie game developed by Benjamin Rivers, newly available via Steam. I’m a lightweight when it comes to horror stuff, but I’m a little freaked out here.  I bought it (for all of $2.54) because of the old school graphics, and the thought that what happened is based…

Continuing Game Review: Dragon Age 2
Note: Continuing means I will revisit this as I get farther in. Of course I couldn’t avoid Dragon Age 2 for very long, considering how much I loved Dragon Age: Originsand all the related DLC/expansion content. So here I am, almost through with Kirkwall (pre-Deep Roads expedition), and enjoying it quite a bit. I’ll put the…
