A diamond in the rough. Because the Aladdin in us never dies.
Have you played my favourite game? Do you agree with my choice of console? Masterchief or Kratos?
No?!
Death to you, your parents, your unborn children and any person who has willingly, unwillingly or unwittingly helped you.
Also I’ll pee on your lawn and shave my initials onto your dog.
Intolerance.
We all know it, we all understand it and hate it. We all propagate it, in some way or another.
We’re all small blonde girls on the inside. That Powerpuff looking thing we call confidence is really quite fragile and the result is that we crave validation.
Every time we meet a like-minded individual, who loves what we love, Bubbles gets a little stronger. When we fight intolerance, ignorance or just plain cruelty, it gets a little smaller.

To a single quote:

Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
A new Partner Spotlight Sale is now live on the Switch eShop, including Skyrim, lowest price ever for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and more.
CoJ wasn't an average game, it was a good game.
A wonderful article with fantastic choices. I'm sure whoever the author is, he is probably ripped and massively, medically fascinatingly well endowed :) xxx
I completely agree with Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Some of the best sword fighting combat mechanics in any game to date.
