Sid Meier's Civilization 6 Review
When I played this game starting a few days ago I was unfamiliar with the Civilization franchise. I'll be honest with you guys - I knew of the strategy that was involved with the game but I wasn't aware of how slow paced the turns would be and how patient you would have to be with the gameplay. So I started off with the Chinese empire of Qin Shi Huang and I did that by selecting the random empire or random civilization to start off with. I looked through every single leader of their empires of the different countries and civilizations. While I was amused that Gandhi was the emperor of India, I went ahead and chose the randomizer and I got the empire of China in about 4000 BC is where it started.

The Hidden Minds: History of AI in Games – From Pac-Man Ghosts to Smart NPCs
“The Hidden Minds: History of AI in Games – From Pac-Man Ghosts to Smart NPCs” Prologue: The Ghost in the Game Long before artificial intelligence ruled headlines, it lurked quietly behind pixelated eyes—calculating, chasing, and predicting your every move. Not in laboratories. Not in sci-fi novels. But in arcades, dorm rooms, and under your bedspread at 2 A.M.

I Played God of War: Ragnarok During a Breakup—and This Is What I Learned. AI-Generated.
I didn’t buy God of War: Ragnarok because I needed a distraction. I bought it because I needed a reason to stay awake. It was late November, the days turning gray faster than my thoughts could catch up. I’d just come back from the worst kind of conversation—the kind that ends in silence and the slow click of a door that might never open again.

Style Savvy (2008) Review
I’ve been playing this game on and off for years now, and every time I restart, I get sucked into the expansive world of fashion. I mean, over 10,000 fashions in one game? That’s incredibly mind-blowing, and very impressive. Can you imagine the work that went into making all of that? For 16 different fictional fashion brands? You really have to wonder how long it took to come up with all those designs and implement them all into the game. I imagine there was at least some inspiration from the real-world fashion of the time. Honestly, a lot could fit nicely in today’s fashion world. Kinda gives you an idea of how timeless Style Savvy really is. Though, it’s not without its issues. There were some things that made me a little annoyed and that I felt were rather unnecessary. But it is, overall, a solid game worth revisiting.
