I’ve just published a new Gamer Dad Review, this time looking at The Crew 2 through the perspective of playing it with my son.

The interesting part was that this was a better playground for us than a straight racing game. And it was such a success that Junior wanted a more involved role into this review, so we ended up writing it and narrating it together.

I turned one of My & Junior's Gamer Dad Reviews into a full video and published it on YouTube.   We had fun filming a bit, to more properly convey our Co-op experience through the video.

Co-op?! YEAH!… Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a single-player game, so naturally… Junior and I played it in Manual Co-op Mode.  
An experience I definetly recommend! Check out the vid to see exactly how it was for us.

We've all been told to limit our kids' screen time.
But, through my Gaming years, I've discovered that's only part of the story.

I wanted to share this forward, to maybe combat the old way parents look at tech, at screen time.
So, together with psychologist & psychotherapist Cristina Iancu, I explore how parents can turn screen time into opportunities for connection, conversation, creativity and growth. Read or Listen to this below:

Finally made a List myself.  
So awesome to mentally browse your mind for memories and games of old, trying to find one that would fit in each spot.

How about you? Did you make a list like this?

The Longest Journey was a fantastic story. It's a shame that the more they continued the story in further games, the more directionless it got. They just didn't know where to take it.

Not played enough to really build up such a list.
Played maybe 7 of those.

The Enigma Expedition was and remains one of the greatest examples of a gaming community coming together for something bigger than the game itself.

I recently published this story, into a fully narrated cinematic video, revisiting the expedition and uncovering an unexpected update that made the story even more meaningful: A Second Miracle.
