FF Game Night

Good evening, and welcome to this blog version of a Let's Play for Final Fantasy XII. I am very excited tonight because I have not blogged a game session in a while, and I am looking forward to it. We are continuing our playthrough of Final Fantasy XII, which is a fantastic game, by the way.

Selecting your Vessel Once you've picked out your pirate, you'll need to select the ship you want to sail the...

Hello viewers, If you had an Xbox One gaming console and an Xbox Live Gold subscription in the month of February, you may have noticed a free game called Shadow Warrior (2013), which is an FPS (First Person Shooter) developed by Flying Wild Dog, that released on Microsoft Windows in 2013, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in 2014, and OS X and Linux in 2015. The full retail price was originally at $60, but can now be purchased for $29.99 if you weren’t able to pick up the game when it was free February 1-28th. Story The story of Shadow Warrior (2013) is straightforward but throws some curveballs your way when you least expect it. Starting out in the first cutscene, you can infer by the phone call Lo Wang makes to his powerful employer Orochi Zilla, that Wang is a mercenary that is trusted to do whatever it takes to get his contract completed. He is tasked with purchasing an ancient Katana called the Nobitsura Kage from a collector named Miyazaki for 2 million dollars. After his refusal, ...
