Let’s get this out of the way: Final Fantasy VII Remake is the most artless title of any video game I have ever played. Even if they didn’t want to give it a proper subtitle, it should have been Final Fantasy VII Remade. Remake’s the sort of slapdash descriptor you apply before there’s an actual title, […]
This is my tenth (!) annual shot at doing a short write-up of every game I’ve played in a year. As noted last time, 2020-2021 were crazy difficult years for me, and I got pretty backlogged on writing these up, so this was all written between January and May of 2022. To wit: sometimes I […]
This is my ninth annual roundup of games I’ve played in a given year, and I’m publishing it ten months late; the last two years have been incredibly difficult for me, and projects like this one have gone slowly. But it’s here, and while the 2021 roundup will also be late, it should appear in early […]

Dear Joanna,
I am delighted to resume our game club letters, […]
For the eighth year in a row, I’m publishing a roundup of every game I played in the past year. As you can see, I completely failed to accomplish last year’s promise of doing this quarterly, hence the massive block of text below. Hopefully I can break it up more in 2020, but given that […]
With a lot of people trapped at home due to the ongoing pandemic, there’s a great need for cheap entertainment. Many generous game developers are responding to this with free or pay-what-you-want sales of their games. In addition, there’s a huge amount of always-free games you can play during this time.

For the seventh year in a row, I’m published a roundup of every game I played in the past year.
