My review of the expansion to Neverwinter Nights 2 is now up at Crispy Gamer. I liked it much better than I thought I would. I guess practice makes perfect for Obsidian. If you’d rather, you can sign up for the Crispy sweepstakes. Lots of big, big prizes which I am not allowed to compete […]

November 26th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Design, Matrix, Review

Larry Bond’s Harpoon – Commander’s Edition is everything it is supposed to be. It’s the same Harpoon that I fell in love with almost twenty years ago. It has all the scenarios that I played repeatedly from both sides, plus the EC 2003 scenarios that I missed. And there’s a Western Pacific Battleset with some […]
