I thought I had already seen the best of Life is Strange. But as I’m writing this I am walking away from the most intense experience I’ve ever had playing a video game.

Life is Strange: Chapter 3
After the harrowing challenge at the end of the last chapter, I’ve kept playing this amazing game. This week I played through the third chapter, discovering both the next chapter in the story, and the interesting ways in which the game utilises its core mechanic.
Life is Strange: Chapter 2
There is a trope used in many video games that I despise. A cheap way to make things harder that leaves the player feeling cheated out of something they have earned.
Life is Strange: Chapter 1
I played the first chapter of Life is Strange and ended up doing something I swore I wouldn’t do when I started this project: I bought a new game.
Enemy Within the Long War
XCOM: Enemy Unknown reimagines the classic XCOM: UFO Defense for a modern audience, streamlining its mechanics into a faster, more cinematic experience. While a great game in its own right, it lacks the depth and detail that made the original so compelling. Long War aims to bring back that depth.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown Review
One of my favourite games of all time was UFO: Enemy Unknown, known as X-COM: UFO Defense in North America. If there’s one game I played more than Baldur’s Gate, it was this. So when I heard a remake was on the way, I was hesitantly excited.

Failed Conquest of Quebec
The Total War series has been a staple of slow, realistic war games since Shogun: Total War came out in the year 2000. Since then there have been numerous titles in the series, each set in different periods of time.
