I play through the opening level.
I learn the true story of the world’s creation, see the game’s ending, and I give my final thoughts.
Video Game Review: Trails in the Sky 3rd
Trails in the Sky 3rd is the final installment of the Grancel Trilogy of what has become the larger series of Trails games. While the narrative focus for this game moves away from Joshua and Estelle Bright (their time in the spotlight finished in Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter) – the third installment instead serves as something of an epilogue for the series, and with it sets up not only the Crossbell arc (Trails from Zero), but also the Erebonia (Trails of Cold Steel) and Calvard (Trails from Daybreak) arcs as well.

Book Review: Akata Witch
I’m finally getting somewhat caught up on some of the more recent Sword & Laser book club picks – this time one of the first YA novels (that aren’t light novels) that I’ve read in a while – Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor.

Anime Review: A Certain Magical Index (S1 & 2)
When I finished A Certain Magical Index Season 2, and sat down to write this review, I thought I’d also reviewed Season 1. It turns out I have not – so I’ve got a lot of ground to cover in this review. Hopefully it will go fairly quickly, because while I cannot speak for the novels, but the anime version of these stories is a remarkably breezy watch.
Continue readingTime to go into Bionis’ Innards – but though have a slight detour for a weapon upgrade.
I did a Let’s Play of the PSP game, but I never really did a review for those who didn’t want to watch a long Let’s Play to see what I thought about it – time to rectify that.
