I’m actually still making my way through this game’s campaign, but I am around 9-10 hours in and what I have played so far is great. I remember being very pleasantly surprised when I played though the last Deus Ex game, “Human Revolution,” during the PS3’s lifecycle and this game is essentially more of the same and it fixes the problems of the previous game. This game feels much more AAA than the last entry and the graphics and dialogue are of a much higher standard this time around. The art direction and gameplay is almost exactly the same as before only here you can experiment with more augmentations.

Russian Railroads

Russian Railroads is the train duo’s first major foray into the world of European game design. Set in Imperialist Russia at the end of the 19th century, the Tsar has ordained a major project: construction of the Trans-Siberia Railroad. To help usher Russia into the modern world, several lines on this railroad must be constructed. As these railroads progress, improvements are made, new industries arise, and brilliant engineers add their expertise, all helping the railroads to expand at an even greater rate. Russia will not be left out of the industrial revolution that is sweeping the world!

Dana (24 KP) rated A Serious Proposal to the Ladies in Books

This was a very interesting read. It is a compilation of, primarily, two essays directed at the women of the Restoration and Revolution period in London, England. While it mainly speaks to women to be more free in their religions, it also talks about women's political freedoms. This seems to be an early feminist essay which calls to give women more power over their lives.

I did enjoy the first essay more than I did the second because the second got a lot more religious and quite repetitive. But it was still interesting.

If you are interested in early feminist lit or in religious literature, check this book out. I think you would thoroughly enjoy it.
