    Crimson Shroud
    Time to play another Yasumi Matsuno game! With Hitoshi Sakimoto composing, this definitely has the FF Tactics / Tactics Ogre feel, except this particular visual novel-sounding track No Picnic For Me which sounds hilariously out of place: Battles are challenging, and especially punishing in New Game+ if you don’t have...
  • Code Complete: A Quick Glance

    Many years ago I had decided to read this book called Code Complete. Written by Steve McConnell, it was first released in 1993, with a second edition that followed in 2004. This 960 page mammoth is widely considered as one of the best works on the topic of software development,...

    Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age
    Auto battle in this game is great! For the first couple of hours at least. The first time you return to Cobblestone was a depressing one. Good thing everyone turned out ok! Prince Faris of Gallopolis, come on man. Good thing Sylvando whipped him into shape! The locations in DQXI...

    Metal Gear Solid
    Back in the days I had a demo disc (remember those?) from a PlayStation magazine, where I first experienced Metal Gear Solid. I thought the demo was cool, but I never got the full game, nor any of the subsequent games in the series. In late 2020 I decided to...

    Super Mario 64
    I missed out on the Nintendo 64 as I was a PlayStation kid, so I never had the chance to experience Super Mario 64. I’ve played and loved all of the 3D Mario games from Galaxy onwards, so I wanted to see how it all began. It’s funny because Nintendo...

    The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
    I really enjoyed playing the Game Boy era Zelda games, and it was finally time to tick The Minish Cap off my list, which I received for free as I was a clears throat 3DS Ambassador. Shout out to my teal 3DS. This was a fun adventure from start to...

    Sleeping Dogs
    I was in the mood to play Sleeping Dogs recently, since I most likely won’t be visiting Hong Kong again any time soon. Here’s hoping the CCP self implodes in the near future. You play as Wei Shen, an undercover cop attempting to infiltrate the triad. You complete missions to...
