The Last of Us Needs a Remake
Rose-tinted glasses have hurt the discourse around The Last of Us: Part I, the pretentiously named remake of the original PlayStation classic. I enjoyed it too back in 2013. I enjoyed it less this decade. In the last ten years, games have changed enormously. Naughty Dog games have changed enormously. The Last of Us feels old.

Short but Worth It? Behind the Frame
It's not that often that a video game actually provides less hours-per-dollars-spent than a movie at a theatre. In Canada, to see a movie now is about 11.99 CAD and you will get 1.75 - 2 hours of enjoyment for your money. In Behind the Frame, you will actually pay more money than that, and get less time out of it.

Citadels Board Game Review
Board game remakes and reprints are on the rise, and Citadels is one of those titles that has received a glossy coat of paint, included all previous expansions, and has been relaunched for public consumption.
