![]() ![]() It's definitely not a game for the faint of heart, but I can't recommend it enough if you're looking for your next spooky point and click adventure game.įran Bow is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. I loved being able to dive back into Fran's world, especially now that I can do it from the comfort of my bed on the Nintendo Switch. It makes a nice change from all of the frightening places we've explored before this moment. The entire land is covered in vibrant cherry blossoms, and honestly, I would happily live there amongst the vegetable and insect people if I could. The world can be experienced during all four seasons, but spring has got to be my favorite time to explore. Not to mention, Ithersta as a setting is absolutely stunning. Thankfully, despite all of the bad things that have and will happen to Fran at this point in the game, there's always someone to help her on her way or lend her a hand which makes the game feel as hopeful as it does heartbreaking. It's this area of the game where we get a brief break from all of the blood and guts and get to see Fran mostly at peace. One of my favorite sections of Fran Bow sees Fran being transported to Ithersta, a world where everything is connected to nature and its inhabitants are either some kind of life-sized insect, vegetable, or plant - including Fran herself who is transformed into a tree. Despite having played Fran Bow before, I often braced myself before Fran took Duotine, awaiting the horrors that lurked on the other side. Just like how Alice can enter Wonderland, Fran is prescribed a drug called Duotine which allows her to see an alternate reality, and it's in this mode that players feel the full force of the monstrosities Fran is dealing with. Both games strike the perfect balance between breathtaking worlds and nightmare fuel - in the best way. If you've played another one of my favorite creepy/cute games, American McGee's Alice: Madness Returns, you're guaranteed to enjoy Fran Bow. Along the way, players meet a range of eccentric characters and have some tricky puzzles to solve. Using a range of point and click mechanics, players must guide Fran out of Oswald Asylum and return her home to reunite with her beloved cat Mr. Now in a psychiatric ward with other troubled children, Fran begins seeing visions of some pretty weird things. In Fran Bow, you take control of the innocent and kind hearted Fran who is trying to process the sudden and brutal death of her parents. It was actually studio founders Isak and Natalia Martinsson's endearing follow-up game Little Misfortune that got me hooked on the husband and wife duo's creepy/cute projects, so when a console port for Fran Bow was announced I jumped at the chance to replay it.ĬONTENT WARNING: This article explores themes of mental illness, abuse, and archaic mental health institutions and practices. Killmonday first released Fran Bow back in 2015 on PC after a successful IndieGoGo campaign, you see, but my first experience with the game was a few years later in 2019. Luckily, this isn't my first time playing Killmonday Games' creepy point and click adventure, so I knew what I was getting myself into beforehand. If it's not animal carcasses, blood soaked walls, or monsters, Fran is having to face her own demons and question everything she's ever known. You never quite know what to expect as you navigate through 10-year-old Fran's psyche, but it's always something unsettling. Playing Fran Bow is like experiencing a vivid fever dream. ![]()

When an open-note C-string is struck, its harmonic sequence begins with the notes (C,C,G,C,E,G,B♭,C). The C-C-G-C-E-G tuning uses the harmonic sequence (overtones) of the note C. ![]() This open-C tuning gives the initial harmonic series when a C-string is struck. The English guitar used a repetitive open-C tuning that approximated a major-thirds tuning. David Wilcox also recorded his most famous songs, "Eye of the Hurricane" and "Rusty Old American Dream", both from How Did You Find Me Here, in this tuning, as well as "New World", "Show the Way", "Hold It Up to the Light", and his cover of "It's the Same Old Song" from Big Horizon, and "Mango" from East Asheville Hardware. When playing on a 7-string guitar, he would have a low G as the lowest string to complete the fifth. This tuning is used on most work by Devin Townsend in his solo work as well as his work with Strapping Young Lad. This tuning is also commonly used by John Butler on his 12-string guitar. This open C tuning is used by William Ackerman for his "Townsend Shuffle" and by John Fahey for his tribute to Mississippi John Hurt. Used by Nickelback on "Should've Listened", Devin Townsend in recent years, and Big Wreck on " Albatross". "Slide" Open A: E-A-E-A-C ♯-E (identical to "Open G" tuning but with every string raised one step or two frets) Used by Jimmy Page on " In My Time of Dying" and Jack White on " Seven Nation Army" and " Catch Hell Blues"".Alternatively: A-E-A-E-A-C ♯ (one step down from "Open B").Major open-tunings give a major chord with the open strings. ![]() ![]() ![]() “So, Nick said, gaze on his menu, “how have you been?” “God,” I laughed. How do you even start to reconnect after 12 years? Ellis doesn’t hold back in showing just how awkward this reunion can be. I was laughing so hard at their awkward reunion. Of course you’d want to be looking your best when you run into the love of your life who broke your heart but, oh poor Zora. OMG the first time Zora and Nick saw each other after 12 years was down right hilarious. “…after twelve years of empty, aching absence, of wondering and worrying, of resignation and sadness…he was here.” Is it enough that someone had good intentions behind their actions even if those actions hurt or were meant for good? I think that’s a really good question that Zora has to struggle through. But one night, Nick up and left, only leaving a note, until he returned 12 years later. This was a second chance love story between Nick and Zora who had grown up together and had planned to marry at age 18. Not only do you fall under the spell of a beautiful love connection between two people who had once lost that connection, but Ellis also gave them some really great concerns to work through. The writing flowed beautifully taking you along with what could have been a simple story, but instead you really sink into it and let it unfold. This did not read like someone’s first foray into putting pen to paper. If this is Hope Ellis’ first novel then I am SO, SO very impressed with this woman because she can write. There is so much to love about this book….where to start? The Writing Nick and Zora Forever! I absolutely loved this book by Hope Ellis and wonder where she’s been hiding all my life? The Lefferbees series is already a favorite of mine and I only hope Ellis is writing the next one as I need it stat!

![]() ![]() If you love FPS gameplay, Warhammer, blood, bullet hell, and retro-inspired graphics, then step right up. This basically looks like Doom Guy has put on a new suit and just headed back into his usual stance! I mean come on, look at the front cover for instance. The results are in, and Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun officially takes the top spot in our list of the best games like Doom. So, Doom but in a World War setting and Nazis instead of Demons… although they’re pretty much the same thing. It goes very in-depth into different roles in each faction too, with players using Soldiers, Lieutenants, Engineers, and Medics for different aspects of your mission. Return to Castle Wolfenstein has an epic multiplayer mode too, where players can either play as the Nazis or the Allied Forces.Īnd all the weapons are true to the time too, bar the addition of a few made-up weapons like the Tesla gun (not made by Elon Musk). Stealth is one of the main keys to this game too, with players moving through the castle in a bid to assassinate soldiers and sabotage the Nazi’s plans, all while trying to remain very much alive. The chilling horror of Nazi Germany, secret agents infiltrating Castle Wolfenstein, all seen through a first-person point of view. Return To Castle Wolfenstein is one of those epic games that you just never know how to put dow once you start playing. Nothing says a relaxing Sunday morning like going back and looking at all the weird foes that tried to kill you, right? 4. It also has a weird kind of Pokedex for the beasts that you come across as you play through the game. It’s odd playing a game that came out in 2023 that looks so old but has so many modern features. ![]() Switches to open doors and will be hidden in the strangest places, and if you really want to get your moneys worth, there are lots of optional extra to get stuck into like playing table football, riding bikes, answering phones, and much more. That’s not to say that you won’t have any problems to overcome as you move through the game though. The game isn’t that complicated to get to grips with like most of the other titles in our best Doom games list, it follows a pretty straightforward ‘get to the end of the level’ path, with players following a pre-determined route and blasting everything in sight into oblivion. It all feels very earthy thanks to the very old-school brown colour palette, again bringing those Doom and Quake vibes to the table. Like a few of the other games in this list, HROT chooses to follow in the footsteps of the early Doom, Quake, and Half-Life days. HROT takes the 5th spot in this list of the best games like Doom! So, let’s cut the waffle and dive into the gore as we check out the best games like Doom to play right now! Heck, it’s a revolutionary title, so you better believe that there will be other games like it out there to satiate your bloodlust! Nothing says action like hordes of undead cretins from the bowls of hell running at you as you blast them into next week.īut what happens when you’ve played all of the best Doom games and want something new to try?Īre there any titles out there that cut the mustard, games that follow in Doom guys massive footsteps and allow you to destroy enemies left, right and centre?ĭoom, and some of the other games from the same era in this list, have helped to shape the FPS genre as a whole and brought about many of the titles we play today. If you love diving into Doom Guy’s world but fancy a little change of pace and villain but all of the otherworldly, hellfire action, then check out ten of the best games like Doom to play today!Īh Doom, one of the most exciting and frenzied shooters of our time. ![]() ![]() The room we had was spacious enough, but i couldn't decide its theme or design. DAy use of amenities- it is destroying the business. Well, they are a bit expensive- the food is. Maybe if they take it away- that will be very great. We were planning to stay for another night, but changed my mind when i we noticed it wasn't worth it. The videoke session- it is very annoying. Had to pull my 3-year old son out of the water! (Perhaps, if they only let the day user use the other pool (the one with a slide) and reserve the new pool to their guests with room reservations.) 3. so when we got our chance to use the pool, it was dirty, some stuff are floating (mucus or Lechon sebo), you couldn't see what was beneath the pool as water was murky. When we were there- day users were not wearing proper swimming attire, and some had their lunches/snacks by the pool. The pools may be great- but they are not too strict in using it. Too many steep stairs- it's not a child and elderly friendly resort. Great for team buildings- as they offer big rooms good for 10-20 persons. Great food- we loved their sinigan sa hipon and Bam-i! :D 5. Great landscape-nice designs the pools are great, there are boats/rafts that can be used in the sea. The price of the room is reasonable-given the size of it. It kind of reminds you of Santorini (i guess that's their goa- to get that "santorini-feel" like place.)

This balcony was the perfect go-to spot for room service delivery and mealtime when opting to hang back in the room. The private balcony is equipped with a comfortable two-person lounge chair that overlooked the beautiful sun terrace and walkway to the main lobby. It was the perfect cherry on top of it all, as the royal treatment is exhausting and a bath to unwind at the end of each adventurous day was cherished! End your day by taking in the beauty that Mexico has to offer from the comfort of your balcony. This luxury was an unexpected bonus that tied the whole room together. The jacuzzi tub in the center of the room was fit for a king and queen. With minor, yet elaborate details and accommodations throughout the room such as CHI hair care products and lotion, a mini hair straightener, sewing kit, complimentary gifts, a fully stocked mini-bar, and wifi, it is certain that the guests and their comfort are of utmost priority. Upon entering the room for the first time, an exquisite cheese and fruit platter is on display, as well as a bottle of champagne to enjoy, possibly in the marble jacuzzi fit for a king, centered in the room. The Grand at Moon Palace in Cancun does not shy away from the little details in the slightest, and it does not go unnoticed. From here, it’s time to decide which section of this massive resort you will tour first. Every detail is thought of at Moon Palace Resort in Cancun, from the warm welcome to the introduction of what the resort has to offer, the staff does an incredible job of making you feel as if you’re right at home.īe sure to check out the Grand Buffet if you have a wait time for your room, as the staff puts your luggage in holding so that you are not lugging it around with you on your first adventure. Take in the pure beauty and elegance that the lobby has to offer as you begin your exploration of the resort. We were greeted with cold hand towels, a beautiful carnation, and flavored water and juice served elegantly in champagne flutes. When arriving at the resort itself, prepare yourself for the royal treatment. Check in time at The Grand is 3 pm but you can always start exploring if your room isn’t ready. Upon arrival, coordinated transportation to Palace Resorts can be arranged from the airport to the resort.

When you want something different you just have a stroll down to the next section (either Nizuc or Sunrise) or get a buggy over to the club house. The roof top sushi bar is lovely at night and the Las Tacos pool is where I will be for pretty much the 2 weeks I will be there. There are loads of good reviews about the Caribbean restaurant. It is not as quiet as a few people have made out on TA. But we unanimously agreed this year that the Grand is the best option for us. The last time I went I stopped in the Grand and loved it - I made the huge mistake of using my room credits to 'upgrade' to a family room in the Sunrise side as I was traveller with 2 teenagers. The first 2 times, I stopped in the Nizuc and Sunrise sides (both times overlooking the mini golf course). ![]() I have visited Moon Palace 3 times (4th visit in July this year).
