GameCritics (290 KP) rated XCOM 2 in Video Games
Oct 10, 2017
Every choice, every death and every shot feels like it counts in XCOM 2 and it is this feeling of real consequence that makes for a truly remarkable strategy game - one that goes beyond its clever design decisions

Rolling Stone's 465th greatest album of all time
3-discs (again, is this an "album"?!) of dreary lo-fi folky songs. I wanted to like this album when I started it but quickly realised this wasn't going to happen. The main singer's voice reminds me of the annoying musical interludes in "There's Something About Mary". Not in a good way. This was a real challenge to listen through.
I do wonder, given the name of the album, if you could play the album backwards and play it on top and it might be more enjoyable? ;P

Psychological horror at its best
I had to text the entire time, and fast forward through bits because it is terrifying at points on so many levels.
Gerald and his wife attempt to reignite their marriage by going to a secluded location to play sex games. Unfortunately he leaves her handcuffed while having a heart attack. In between, there are deep psychological traumas and hallucinations, gore, and you wonder what's real as she continues to run out of time.
It's pure Stephen King, mixing real emotions with the downright frightening. That last scene would never have happened but my heart is still racing.

Game that can be played forever!
I played this game years ago with my eldest son (who has now moved on to Fortnite) and we used to spend hours creating real life buildings in our Minecraft world. The possibilities are endless. Then we moved on to survival, which can either be challenging or hard enough just to keep a young child engaged.
Then having not played it for a few years my youngest son was wanting to play on my Xbox and Minecraft was again the best thing for him to play. With all the updates to the game over the years, it has kept the game fresh for returning players and we are having so much fun building again!!

As always this book was filled with word play/bickering and puzzles. It even manages to mock itself for the conventions of the series (puzzles showing up on dead bodies). But what really got me was a major plot point that is dropped once the real story gets rolling.

The idea of the game (1 more)
The Theme "Chariot Racing"
A really retro game, but still a good game.
I used to pay this when I was a kid in the 80's, watch Ben Hur and I want to play again immediately. The choice to play to win the race or to play to kill everyone else is a very real one and you find a way to balance the two is probably best. You can do damage to the chariots and the horses, and run them into the walls. Flip them over, Use he whip on them, etc. It's a race game at heart but the interaction between the racers is where the fun comes in. plus there are lots of people who find awesome mini's and create coliseums instead of the board it comes with, and they play at conventions. See some of the pictures I've added. This game is a old school treasure ahead of its time, but could use updating. I'd love to see a modern publisher get a hold of this and re-make it.

Funny and amazing players
Dramatic and willing to kill pc's
All caught up
The GCP is an amazing real play podcast group. Currently running a pathfinder campaign with 200+ episodes. Also a Starfinder campaign with 50+ episodes. You can find them on wherever you get your podcasts from. I personally like using spotify. Look for "The Glass Cannon Podcast" for pathfinder and "Androids & Aliens" for Starfinder. Highly recommend both!

Light stratagy easy for kids to pick up
Easy scoring.
Great for all ages, easy to learn, and fun to play with kids
This is a light quick game that we can actually play with kids and not be bored with. The premise is simple, you have 4 tiles to choose from, and then you must place your time and select the next one. The real strategy is not only where you place it, but also which one you pick and the level of quality will set up the selection order of the next round, maybe you can settle for the worst tile and get your choice of tiles next round, or maybe you need that top tile and will settle for what's leftover the next round. Great little game, we tend to play best two out of three as each game really only lasts 20 minutes.

This had the potential to be really good if the story had been developed a little more. I felt the ending was a little rushed too, the main reason for the story only happening in the last chapter and no real mention of a build up to it.
Nevertheless I have to say I'm a little intrigued with how the rest of the series will play out and will Juliet/Sammi get a HEA with Jase?
