  • Hopefully spoiler-free ruminations on Starfield

    I have put 45 hours into Starfield so far. I cannot keep it out of my mind. Honestly: I haven’t enjoyed a game so much in over a decade. I don’t want to over sell it, for you it might be the worst game ever, but as someone who loves Elder Scrolls but couldn’t get…

  • Assassin’s Creed Mirage: the assassin’s own Force Awakens

    AKA mild curiosity for the hidden blade I still remember the first time I saw the first Assassin’s Creed being played. I was at a friend’s house, and he was showing his newest acquisition on his Xbox 360. It was captivating – it was the first time I saw and played on a seventh-gen console, if I’m…
