OK, I know this is just a demo (and demos are...marketing), but this title on the xbox looks amazing 😁

Leonard McCoy, Frontier Doctor by John Byrne My rating: 4 of 5 stars I enjoyed this more than I thought I would :-)  Basically, it's Dr. McCoy's adventures in the year that the Enterprise gets a refit between the end of the series and the motion picture. There were some interesting connectors here and there, but true to the original series it's much more

 Next up on my binge of Far Cry games, Far Cry 4, which I completed December 2020 (took long enough to write this, eh?😜)Continuing on with the tradition of "WTF?!?!", Far Cry sets you on a journey to the fictional nation of Kyrat. Kyrat is located in the Himalayas, and it seems to border Bihar, India since it is stated at the beginning of the game that the nearest embassy being in Patna.

 Right after I finished Fac Cry 3, I kicked off the spin off game, Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon, which I finished October 2020The game is rather short, but it is a ton of fun. The game basically takes the basic structure of Far Cry 3, albeit in a smaller sandbox, and transports you to the "future" by playing a Kyle Reese type of character in a very 80s, terminator-style setting.  The language

With Gamepass expired in August 2020, I returned back to games I actually owned so that I can finish them.  The realization that I got was that even though Gamepass was fine, and a steal with the $1 update lifehack if you had Gold, it never really incentivized you to play what you owned because what was on gamepass came and went.  Anyway.  I finished September 29, 2020, and I played

 Να, λοιπόν, που ήρθε και ο Δεκέμβρης.  Για πότε πέρασε ένας χρόνος δεν το συζητώ. Άντε, καλό μας μήνα και καλές γιορτές 😁. Σε 3 εβδομάδες μόνο τελειώνει και αυτο το εξάμηνο 😮

OK, so it's time to kick off a series of reviews for the binge on FarCry.  I was wondering which Far Cry I should start with, and I needed up going with "classic" since it was available, on sale, and other versions were not (I suppose I could have looked for a used copy on eBay or something...)Anyway, this is a backward-compatible title from xbox 360, and I finished on 10/28/2020In this game,

Digging into the "Finished some time ago" pile, this game was completed on 7/25/2020. This was a gamepass game that I wanted to try to finish before my gamepass expired.Coming into this game I knew of the Blair Witch Project. I remember the trailers and all the hubbub in the late 90s, but I have never seen the actual films.  The shaky cam in the previews didn't appeal to me.So why play this game? 

 Here's another for from the backlog.  This one I finished on 9/5/2020So far I've enjoyed all of the Call of Duty games that I've played, so I thought I'd give this futuristic take on the franchise a go. I think it was something I got during one of the seasonal xbox sales.Anyway, in this game, you take on the role (if I remember correctly) of Captain Nick Reyes, who is a Special Operations

 So here's a recent game I completed! (woohoo!) I finished this one in November 2021 (last week actually), and I thought I'd write up some quick thoughts about it.I have about a dozen games (mostly trilogies, or parts of trilogies) still on disc from the xbox 360 days - so I thought I'd work through my backlog of games on disc, so I can move most xbox 360 stuff into storage.  Batman Arkham
