1.0 Release Announced for Instruments of Destruction

It was only at the last Winter sales that I bothered to pick up the Re-Mars-tered edition of Red Faction: Guerrilla. I haven’t played it yet, as I had reviews and Baldur’s Gate 3-based smooching to be getting on with, but my PS3 edition of Red Faction:…

Monday, between now and Summer a minister must walk by Still Wakes the Deep, Final Fantasy 16‘s DLC also got a release date, as did The Movies-like, Blockbuster Inc. Tuesday, Cities: Skylines II still wastes your time, while Toys of Bob (possibly) works on Spyro 4, and details on the latest Final Fantasy 14 expansion were…

Star Trek: Picard “Absolute Candor” – Review

I think it is appropriate that when I sat down to write and watch Picard today, I cocked my leg over my chair and shouted “Riker!” We’re finally moving forward, we’ve got some proper Picard-ing going on, there is some decent direction, and it…
