For fans, Life is Strange isn’t just a game. It’s a story about friendship, love, and unity. It’s a story that wraps itself around us and held us tight as we took off through an adventure of two unexpected best friends.

Star Ocean: The Last Hope 4K & Full HD Remaster was something none of us were ready for.

15 years later and here I am, revisiting my late teen years by revisiting the .hack//G.U. games, ones that I spent plenty of evenings playing with any disregard for time. Unlike the other franchises at the time, it was a game series that was completely different, completely unique. Why was it all of that?

Free-to-play games are always a joy to have around. They offer a varied experience for every player. Want to throw down a few bucks for more skins, characters, or customizations? Have at it. Want to save a few bucks and work hard to earn your right to each of the characters, unlocks, or skins? Have at it. That’s the joy about free-to-play titles.
