'Death Stranding' Theory: Who is Mads Mikkelsen?
With so much hype for Death Stranding and so little information on what it is actually about and no release date yet, all fans can do is speculate. Creator Hideo Kojima, luckily, loves to leave trails of breadcrumbs for his fans to follow, giving them clues to piece together in the meantime. There's a lot of compelling evidence that Kojima's ideas for P.T. andSilent Hills were re-purposed for Death Stranding, including themes of infants, umbilical cords, and potentially Norman Reedus' character. But the character we probably know the least about is the one played by Mads Mikkelsen, the purported villain of the story. It can be hard to tell the purpose of a character without knowing about the story he takes part in, but it may be possible for us to glean some things from the clues we have.

'BioShock Infinite' Theory: Is Anna in the Crib?
Note: Spoilers for the ending of BioShock: Infinite. If you haven't finished it already, get on that! It's amazing. One of the biggest debates among BioShock: Infinite fans is the final ending to the game proper. We see Booker DeWitt awake in the all-too familiar office, perhaps with the memories of the alternate lives he's lived fading from his mind like a dream, feeling the need to check on baby Anna. He bursts into the room, runs towards the crib...

Awesome Saturn Exclusives: Platformers
Hello, and welcome back to Silver Linings where I find the positives in maligned pop culture. This is the second of my lists looking back at the Sega Saturn. When looking at why the Saturn failed like it did, many explanations were brought up. There was the botched early launch that alienated retail channels. There was the fact that the Saturn sold for $100 more than the Playstation and Nintendo 64, a handicap that didn't get reduced until the system was just about dead. There was then-CEO Bernie Stolar's comment that the Saturn wasn't the future of Sega which killed consumer interest after only two years on the market.

'Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories' Review
Continuing off from the last review that I did with Kingdom Hearts I we move onto the next in the timeline for the series, Chain of Memories. Originally this was a GBA game released in 2004 which was 2D but I never experienced it on this format. Later it was redone and made into a 3D adventure RPG game, similar to how the first game looked with its graphics. The first remake was made in 2007 as a second disc for Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+ in Japan and making its way to North America in 2008 as a standalone title. Australia and Europe weren't lucky enough to play Chain of Memories until the 1.5 + 2.5 ReMix came out.

Kingdom Hearts 1.5 ReMix Review
This is a clash of Disney, Final Fantasy, and RPG all rolled up into one nice little package. If any one of those raises an eyebrow, then this may very well be a game for you. I'm a little late on doing a review for this due to the game being released originally back in 2002, but it has been what my world has revolved around lately and it has been my main focus to platinum all of the Kingdom Hearts games on my PS4, in preparation for the (eventual) release of Kingdom Hearts 3.

'Tomb Raider': Classic vs Reboot
When people ask me what my favourite gaming franchise is, my answer has always been Tomb Raider, and I'm pretty sure it always will be. It was the franchise that first got me into gaming as a young girl, after many fun-filled hours of playing it with my Grandad. Also, Tomb Raider I was released in same year that I was born. I firmly believe that, even without these ties of sentiment or nostalgia, I would still have an affinity for Lara Croft. I mean, what's not to love about a strong woman who travels the world, beating all the bad guys and finding lots of relics?

'Day R Survival': Review
I recently was looking through the Play Store on my phone out of boredom and this one caught my eye. I kept an eye on it for a while and it's done a lot of updates and added new stuff to the game. This is Day R Survival or as some titles make it, Day R Survival Apocalypse. Lone Survivor Games changed its name to Day R Survival. Day R Survival is a mobile phone game only available for Google Play/Android; the publishers are tltGames.

How To: Level Up Your PC Without Breaking the Bank!. Top Story - September 2017.
One thing is for certain; gaming isn't a cheap hobby. Especially PC gaming. Technology is expanding at an extremely rapid pace and one day your computer may be able to handle all the new next generation games, while a couple days later something even greater is released and its time to upgrade that old graphics card again. Or if you're a student like me, you may not have 1000 dollars just burning a hole in your pocket to spend on a good enough computer that can handle Destiny 2 or COD:WW2 (Totally a Battlefield 1 copy by the way).
