WHO WANTS A REVIEW???!!
took a break from writing about video games to write about boba tea protein, first for The Guardian! www.theguardian.com/thefilter-us...

I reviewed The Outer Worlds 2 and even though it was more of the same, I still found it enjoyable. Although the whole anti-capitalist schtick got old, especially ironic coming from a Microsoft published game lol mashable.com/review/outer...
Review: 'The Outer Worlds 2' is a fun but flawed space odyssey
The Outer Worlds 2 doesn’t reinvent the series, but its deep RPG systems and witty — if uneven — writing make it a sequel worth exploring.

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain.

I reviewed Mafia: The Old Country! I like the story, but the gameplay didn't really hold up. But hey I guess that's nothing new for the Mafia series lol
Rote, dated gameplay burdens Mafia: The Old Country, but its depiction of one man's struggle for a better life resonates. Read our full review:
