This post is the first of two reviews of Tomb Raider (2013). We chose to review this video game because of the original marketing for the game, as well as the final result. The first review is by Brie, who is a casual video gamer, and the second will be from Melody, who is...
Read more →It’s been a long time since I’ve had the chance to write an update on Here I Stand: Wars of the Reformation 1517-1555 because this turn has taken a hell of a long time to complete! It is a GMT game that I play by email (PBEM) and I’ve lost count of how many...
Read more →For more information on Mad About the Boy check out Lizzie Stark’s blog and my previous posts on Gaming as Women. It’s been about a month since I’ve played Mad About the Boy, and I’m still debriefing. I know that it’s an intended part of the process, and that makes me feel more...
Read more →One of the coolest things about the Google+ gaming community is hearing about all sorts of games I had no idea existed – and then getting to interact with their creators.

Read more →Finally! Turn 3 is over and it was an exciting one!! I didn’t believe it would be possible, but I got to burn a Protestant (sorry to anyone who may be offended out there. It’s not a practice I usually follow). One of the advantages of playing the Pope is that the player has...
Read more →I’ve reached the end of Turn 1 and, as my first-time ever as Pope, my butt is being KICKED by the Protestants. I believe that I let them get away with too many conversions. Should have tried burning more of them! Right now, we move into the diplomacy phase of Turn 2. I finally...
