It’s Christmas time, and I’ve got some presents for you!   Game reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com.  Just what you wanted, right?  Right?  Anyway, please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  And just for fun, in the comments section, give me a pretend Christmas present.  It can be anything you want.  It’s the thought that counts...literally!  Then I’ll reply with a pretend present for you!  It's fun when it’s fun.  OK let’s begin!

I'm still working out my 2025 plan of going through the console generations month to month. However, I recently started thinking about game genre's, ones I like and one's I'm curious about. So I'm starting to work them into the schedule, featuring a specific genre per generation. Here's what I got so far, subject to change of course. 

I finished Mass Effect Andromeda and switched consoles to PS4. After playing a few games there, I settled on Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain. I am now going to battle bugs for the rest of the month. 

I've played 55 hours now in Mass Effect: Andromeda. The missions seem endless but I think I'm coming towards the end of them. I think I aught to tackle the main story again soon, but I'm having fun hearing all the side stories and interacting with the characters, sometimes to the point of romance. 

I’ve got a feast of game reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com for you all to chow down on.  Please click on the links and read as many as you can and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  After reading them all, you should have nice fat bellies!  OK let’s begin!

I'm playing games from 2019-2021 this month (after I finish with ME: Andromeda), and so this is my 2020 list of favorities and ones I'd like to play if I get the time. The list is in order of release. It's as if these were the games I bought day-one - some, yes, but most no.

Games Beaten

I've come up with a 2025 plan for my gaming. The goal is to put the entire history of video games into 12 parts so I can travel in time over the course of the year (I do this for music and literature as well). Here's what I came up with. 

I'm 25 hours into Mass Effect Andromeda. I've stopped the main quest to do side quests because it seems I'm about to take on The Archon, which might be the final boss run. I'm building settlements and bonding with teammates. I especially like flying around in space, viewing all the astronomical objects. Roaming around in the Nomad planetside is fun too. My only issue is nav points being confusing on certain planets and missions. It seems better to just ignore them sometimes. I'm enjoying all the side stories, character development and random dialog and text you come across. It's a good time. 

It's November and another shift to a new range of years I want to focus on in gaming. This month is 2019-2021. Nothing special about that, just 3 years in the history of gaming. I guess you could say the transition to our current consoles: Xbox Series X|S and PS5 in 2020 (Switch out since 2017).
