Finally Experiencing Baldur’s Gate: Two Classic CRPGs
While I had known about the practically legendary Baldur’s Gate games for years, the impending release of the long-awaited Baldur’s Gate 3 is what really motivated me to finally play them myself.

The Thing About Mass Effect 2 and 3
Back in November of last year I experienced Mass Effect 1 for the first time after purchasing the Mass Effect Legendary Edition, a collection of all three Mass Effect games in the trilogy as well as most DLC and updated graphics and systems. I was immersed in Shepard’s story, the alien cultures, and the military…
Tears of the Kingdom: The First Few Days
The latest addition to Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda series, and direct sequel to the widely-loved Breath of the Wild, released on May 12th last week.
