The third entry in my “turn-of-the-century” Final Four is here; Legacy of Kain – Soul Reaver. Nearly two years ago, I reviewed the original title in the Legacy of Kain series: Blood Omen. It was a game that I had no prior experience with, but one that was often recommended to me. Personally, I was …

Check Up: No Man’s Sky (1.5 NEXT Update)
The long awaited multiplayer update to No Man’s Sky is finally here. This is the one that everyone has been waiting for. To call this simply a patch is almost criminal. This update completely transforms the game from the bottom up. In truth, I really don’t know where to begin. I suppose I’ll start with …

Review: Forsaken (Remastered)
Wow. Here’s a game I never expected to review, Forsaken. That’s right, out of nowhere, this classic title has been remastered and is now available to a whole new generation of gamers. Forsaken was a game that I actually enjoyed in my younger days. A friend and I both owned the PC version. And together, …

Review: The Legend of Zelda – Oracle of Seasons/Ages
Nintendo fans rejoice! My long awaited review of the “Oracle” games is finally here. This review also marks the first of my GBC/N64 era “Final Four”. It has been a long time coming, but I’m proud to finally discuss these two classic titles. Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages are two titles in The …

Update: Turn of the Century Wrap-Up
I know… I said it last December. But this time I mean it. My “turn of the century” playthrough reviews are almost at an end. I thought I’d be done with these reviews at the beginning of the year. But, my plans were delayed by the building of my new PC. Then, a change to …

Star Wars: Canto Bight – Various Authors
Next up on my list of unread Star Wars novels is Canto Bight, a collection of short stories that take place on the casino world of – you guessed it, Canto Bight. Now, I know that in the eyes of many (myself included), the Canto Bight sequence of The Last Jedi was probably one of …

D&D: Family Game – Lost Mine of Phandelver (pt 1)
If you follow the Dungeons & Dragons posts on this site, then you’ll know that my ultimate plan has always been to chronicle an ongoing D&D campaign. Ever since I was first introduced to the game as a child, I’ve been a rabid fan. However, my desires to play were often squashed by my inability …

Nerd Fuel: Green Mountain – Breakfast Blend
It has been a few months since I posted a Nerd Fuel review. So this time, I decided to go back to basics. No fancy foreign coffees, no seasonal blends, etc. I just wanted to try something simple. This morning I took a trip to the local grocery store and picked up one of those …

Star Wars: The Legends of Luke Skywalker – Ken Liu
For the last two months I’ve been making an extra-long commute to work. This has cut into my gaming time drastically. But on the upside, I’ve had more time during the day to read. I’m still grinding through “The Last Jedi” companion novels, but I’m almost to the end. Today, I’m going to share my …

Dungeons & Dragons: Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes
I’ve been waiting a couple of months before posting a discussion of this book so that I could fully digest its contents. Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes is not your everyday D&D release. Aside from a few optional races/subraces, there’s not much here for players to enjoy. Instead, it is a book that is aimed mainly at …
