We Are Back for 2017!

Hello readers! We had a long and lovely break over the holidays but we are back and ready to jump into 2017. We played a number of games over the break but there are a few that stood out. Here's a quick run down of some of the games that captured our attention during our winter break.

Game? More Like a Masterpiece!

Since games have become a publicly viable medium for storytelling, every generation of games has had it's masterpiece.  I believe that this generation's masterpiece is Final Fantasy XV.  First of all, while I enjoy watching others play RPG style games, I find that they are a mite more than I want to deal with, with hours of inventory diving and changing equipment for the most powerfully configured character.  For the most part, this is the majority of Final Fantasy games, which while the storylines are incredible, I just don't want to deal with that level of granularity.  FFXV breaks that mold, or is making me configure all of these little thins without realizing it.

PAX West: I Couldn't Get Away from Final Fantasy XV

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a fan of Final Fantasy. I have heard a lot about FFXV in the past few months, but at PAX West, I encountered way more FFXV than I thought possible. Square Enix went all out marketing the game during the con; so much so that I literally could not escape it. Luckily, I was able to snag some hand on time among the many other attendees hypnotized be the relentless media onslaught.
