Last week I asked you to show me some progress shots of Final Fantasy VII Remake, and you did not disappoint me. I’m looking forward to the Remake with a kind of grim fascination. I’m of the strong opinion that we don’t need it, that it doesn’t need to exist, and that if you like…
This week is a raucous combination of battles on fields, boys in storms, frames of war, and Nidhogg 2 My primary interest this week is going be concentrated on Battlefield V. What can I say? I put a few hundred hours into Battlefield 1, and I’m interested in getting up to that same skill level…
