Master of Orion: Conquer the Stars

Posted on September 22, 2020September 22, 2020 by David French

First off, Mark Hamill, Michael Dorn, and John de Lancie (to name a few) lent their unique voices to the game. Game play is the same vibe as the original Master of Orion with some new stuff, like a 3D real time combat system. I was having some trouble unlocking the race specific achievements via…

Mistborn

Posted on January 25, 2020 by David French

The Mistborn trilogy is outstanding. Brandon Sanderson does a great job of wrapping up the story. The Mistborn trilogy has a medieval setting. Flash forward into the future on the same world, a new story begins with new characters with a western / industrial setting.
