Journey’s In Middle Earth Bones of Arnor Impressions
Over the past few weeks, my father-in-law and I have been sitting down over lunch breaks to play Lord of the Rings: Journey’s in Middle Earth. Although I purchased all of the available content for the game, we began with the starter scenario, Bones of Arnor. I call it a starter scenario, but it’s not really. It’s a great scenario that, even on it’s own, stands up as one of the best cooperative experiences I’ve had in a long time.

Peach’s Castle Expansion – LEGO Super Mario
One of the things that has disappointed me the most about LEGO Super Mario is that most of the sets don’t really display all that well. These are LEGO sets meant for playing with, not just displaying. Sure, the various characters do look great on the shelf, but in general, entire sets do not. I do believe that the Bowsers Air Ship set probably would display well, but not many others. Peach’s Castle, however, displays beautifully (not on a 12-inch shelf mind you), and is fun to build too! Let’s dive in.

None of his thoughts are edited, these are purely his opinions! Let’s get into it!

Descent: Legends of the Dark Getting a Massive (literally) Expansion
If you’ve been following along to my Twitter account or read some of the articles online, I took a deep dive into Lord of the Rings: Journey in Middle Earth. This modular board game from Fantasy Flight Games mesmerized me instantly. When I say I took a deep dive, I mean a legitimate deep dive. I bought the base game, the large expansions, and the three additional character packs. It all ran me about $350+ dollars but it has been incredibly worth it. Between a few ongoing campaigns, I’ve spent about 25 hours with the game so far, and have tons more to explore. Tackling this game made me look at other modular tactical games, and guess what? Fantasy Flight Games kept popping up. And Descent: Legends of the Dark seemed to be the most popular!

Microsoft’s Mobile Store Is a Hard Sell
There’s only one thing you can say for certain about the current mobile phone gaming market: the stores are pretty locked in. It’s Google Play or it’s Apple’s App Store. Microsoft’s plans for a third alternative is going to have an uphill struggle. This has slowly been coming out over the course of the company’s purchase of Activision. One of the big reasons for the purchase – on top of Call of Duty and hundreds of other Game Pass friendly…

Yesterday Rare announced that season nine of Sea of Thieves is available for free with Gamepass across Xbox Series consoles, Xbox One and Windows.

Season 9 introduces Chests of Fortune, valuable chests that can only be found within…
