Final Fantasy VII Remake (PS4)
I played Final Fantasy VII shortly after it came out. I bounced off of it pretty hard. I had never played a JPRG before. This was a series coming over from Nintendo. Back then Nintendo was marketing console games as toys for kids. Other than the blocky 3D models, nothing about Final Fantasy VII was …

Control (PS4)
I just finished Control, the newest game from Remedy. I’ll always associate them with Max Payne, but Control is a much better game. I managed to Platinum this game, so it must be an open world action game. Almost all my Platinums fall into this category, even though I don’t usually list it among my …

Epic Games Give Away — Shadow Tactics
Even if you haven’t been checking daily for the Epic Games Store game giveaway, you should stop by today. Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is the game. It is a hardcore tactics game set in feudal Japan. It’s hard. I haven’t finished it. However, it has the most amazing moments when a plan comes …

Epic Games Store Six Free Batman Games
Batman’s 80th birthday was last weekend. There were many celebrations, but I think I liked Epic Games Store the best. Instead of giving away one or two games as they do most weeks, they loaded up their utility belts with six free Batman games. That would be impressive if they were just average games, but …

Borderlands 2: Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary
I remember reading previews for the original Borderlands. I remember the change in art style that some claimed saved the game. That was over a decade ago. Borderlands 2 was released seven years ago. Borderland: The Pre-sequel was released five years ago. So how to get people excited for a new Borderlands game? Give them …

Red Dead Redemption II Impressions
I just finished Red Dead Redemption II (RDR2) on PS4. It’s another huge game where I have to clarify what the means. I’ve finished the main story and both epilogues. I don’t think the fact that there are two epilogues is much of a spoiler, but I’ll try to avoid spoiling anything story related. The …

Windows 10 Creator’s Update
For some reason, I thought the Windows 10 Fall Creator’s Update was already out. Perhaps it was because my laptop updated to it. Anyway, I downloaded the Windows 10 upgrade assistant tool. It took longer than expected but seem to finish without difficulty. However, I noticed two unexpected problems. First, my sound output default changed. …

A Death at Chaos Manner
Jerry Pournelle is dead. He died recently in his sleep according to his son as posted on his website. I’d love to say I was a huge fan of his sci fi, but really, I think I’ve only read Lucifer’s Hammer. That was pretty much because I was a Larry Niven fan at the time. …
