Originally published on Trevor Trove on December 29, 2016 Way back at the beginning of the year, I started keeping track of everything I played this year in an Excel spreadsheet (because nerd). I tracked the game, what system I played it on, if I 100%-ed the game or got the Platinum Trophy, jotted downContinue reading “Top Ten Revisited Games in 2016”

Originally published on Trevor Trove on January 1, 2016 This post is a bit of a follow-up to the one I wrote last week about notable Christmas Gaming Memories. Because Catherine and I spent Christmas in Seattle with her family, we actually had several mini-Christmas celebrations, finishing today. December 22 – The night before Cat andContinue reading “Gaming Christmas Haul”

Fallout 4 Review
Originally published on Trevor Trove on December 15, 2015 TL;DR(eview) – Fallout 4 is more Fallout 3, with some much-appreciated improvements to core systems like gunplay. This meant it was pretty much exactly what I was hoping for when it was announced but your mileage may vary depending on your relationship with the Fallout universe and Besthesda’s open-world game design.

After multiple attempts receiving errors on their page despite my credit card showing the pending charge, I thought “oh crap, I only wanted the one.
