Review: Annihilation

Jeff Vandermeer’s Annihilation, the first book in the Southern Reach trilogy, is equal parts science-fiction, horror, and philosophy. It’s well-written, but I don’t think it’s for everybody. I’m pretty sure it’s not for me anyway, but I don’t think that makes it a bad book.

Review: “Final Fantasy VI” for iOS

About twelve hours into the new iOS release of Final Fantasy VI, I had a sudden realization: “I still have to write my review!” That’s the hallmark of a great game. No matter how many times you’ve played it you still find yourself sucked into its world, and few games are greater than Final Fantasy VI.

It has been about fourteen years since the last time Strider Hiryu appeared in a proper Strider game.

Review: Thief

Thief is the latest installment in a franchise that is near and dear to my heart – in fact, I can think of one title only that predates the first installment in the franchise in my experience, and that was some nonsense pack-in with the first computer my family ever purchased – Thief was the first real
