Getting Back To It: Fable II (and Beyond)

I talk about this a lot, but it really is incredible just how quicklytime seems to pass isn’t it? I mean it’s somehow already been 15 years since Fable II released for the Xbox 360! How did that happen? Something else that’s been bothering me lately is that I don’t think I’ve replayed the game…

Cyberpunk 2077: Ch…Ch…Ch…Changes

If you’ve delved into the gaming Internet within the past few of weeks, they you’ve probably caught wind of Cyberpunk 2077’s “redemption arc” with its 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty DLC release.

Endings, Replays and Baldur’s Gate 3
