OK, let’s talk Cronos: The New Dawn.

The most important thing you need to know about Cronos is that it lets you find hidden cats in the world, and they go back to your base and you can pet them and have conversations with them.  Honestly, that … Continue reading

In which, I learn the value of giving up.

A few weeks back, I checked Cronos: The New Dawn out from the local library, without knowing much about it.  It looked like it would do nicely as a follow up to my Resident Evil binge from last year, and … Continue reading

So nice, we remastered it twice?

Twice may not be right?  There’s an argument to be made that Halo: Campaign Evolved is actually the third remaster of the Xbox original, but I’m going to choose to think of the version from the Master Chief collection as … Continue reading

This feels wrong.

This is, I think, my fourth time playing through the original Halo campaign – though in a variety of ways over the years.  There was a run-through of the original back in 2007, then I used the “Anniversary” remake as … Continue reading

What a difference 18 months makes. (Or, why I’m a filthy console peasant again)

So.  Back in the fall of 2024 I boxed up my XBOX Series X and my PS5 and took them over to the local Gamestop and took the (fairly generous) trade-in credit they offered in return.  And it felt pretty … Continue reading

In which, I buy a console and fall down the rabbit hole.

So for about a year and a half, I didn’t own any modern consoles.  Well, barring the Switch and later the Switch 2, but I think we can sorta hand wave Nintendo away as being its own thing. And the … Continue reading
