Sinsational HIGH Fighting on an arid oilfield. What could go wrong? LOW Peepers is right here, lady. Advance that sidequest already.

Divinity: Original Sin II Preview
One of the best things a videogame can do is send me off with a sense that I’ve had an experience unique to me — that no one else saw exactly what I saw. Divinity: Original Sin is quite possibly my favorite role-playing game of all time because it’s such a pure embodiment of that idea.

Sinfully Good
HIGH The best traditional PC RPG in recent years, now accessible on console.

Divinity II crashes and burns

VVVVVV and Divinity II: Ego Draconis
If you read this blog even occasionally, then you probably know that I'm not much of a PC gamer. However, I do make the occasional exception for certain titles. This evening, one of those special cases found its way into my hardware: VVVVVV by Terry Cavanagh.
Although I had planned on doing more in-depth coverage of the game tonight, after some consideration I decided to hold off until I'm completely done. However, I will say that it's a pretty superb little title, and I'm enjoying the heck out of it.
