Mothergamer (1583 KP) rated Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age in Video Games

Jul 28, 2017

Interesting battle system (2 more)

Beautiful art and music

Fantastic voice actor cast

Licence Points can be tedious (1 more)

Limited freedom with job changes

A solid game in the Final Fantasy series. The remaster is very well done with the graphics and they remastered the music as well which is also great. The story is interesting and the characters stand out because of the great voice acting. Playing it again reminded me how much fun I had with it the first time and with a great remaster, it was more fun the second time around.

Only Surpassed by Its Sequel

Suikoden, and the series that it spawned, is one of my favorites. Here, you play as the son of an imperial general who, by a matter of circumstances, becomes the head of the rebellion. Collect 108 characters in multiple sidequests--a pretty ambitious effort for the time. But what really makes Suikoden stand out from the pack of JRPGs of the 90s is its story. Suikoden doesn't flinch away at the harsh realities of war and what it can do to a country, family, and individual.

I've had this AR set since my birthday last June. It is beyond fun, you utilize an app @Star Wars™: Jedi Challenges on your phone in the AR headset to play.
I have to say, it's very creepy to have Darth Vader projected into your home and having to fight him.
The lightsaber is comfortable to use and the AR set is comfortable. Though, you wouldn't want to play this game for more than 45 minutes at a time because it becomes a little unnerving.
There are three aspects to the game, battle strategy, holochess, and, of course, lightsaber battles. I absolutely love this game and highly recommend it.

Perfect for multiplayer fun

This is a great game to get for hours of fun. This is an RPG adventure game set in the imaginary world of sanctuary. You choose a class to develop your character. Alongside many in NPC characters, you battle your way to the Demons of hell to reach the ultimate evil Diablo. This is a perfect game to play multiplayer. I first got into Diablo from watching my dad play. Now my brothers and I play once a week together (we all live in different states). This is a great game to spend time with loved ones.

David McK (3600 KP) rated Hornblower and the Atropos in Books

Jan 30, 2019

"Battle, Storm, Shipwreck, Disease - what were the chances he would never come back again?"

Chronologically the 5th entry in CS Foresters (probably) most famous creation, this is also the 8th entry by publication date, and the 1st entry in the compilation 'Captain Hornblowe R.N."

Set early during his career - he's only just taken up command - this novel covers a lot of ground (both literally and figuratively), starting with Hornblower and Maria making their way down to Portsmouth, his command of Nelson's water-borne funeral procession and then the cruise of his 22-gun sloop 'The Atropos' into the Mediterranean, and the various myriad circumstances that befall said cruise!

David McK (3600 KP) rated Hunter's Rage (Civil War Chronicles, #3) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

The third in Michael Arnold's <i>Civil War Chronicles</i>, again following the exploits of Captain Stryker and his men, who are fighting for the (doomed) Royalist cause.

At the start of this particular entry, Stryker and his men are unknowingly behind enemy lines, after the cessation of a brief truce. This novel could also be split into three main sections: the first dealing with their journey back to their own side of the lines, the second with what is effectively a siege that they are forced to undergo while on that journey, and the final part with the battle of Stratton.

As before, this was a thoroughly entertaining read!
