I’ve lost track of how many weeks we are into the Corona Apocalypse. Since my last turn on new releases the Final Fantasy VII Remake has monopolized our PS4. I was very excited about the pinball elevator which looks extra cool remastered. Just wish they’d also let you play it!
Got another remaster coming out this week and a bunch of different stuff if you are running out things to play. Lots of war, some truckin’ and a moving sim.

And now the Billy Joel song is totally stuck in my head. Not such a great time for a couch co-op game with no online play to release but I guess it will work if you’ve got a big family. This one is from the folks who brought you Cooking Mama. You play as part of the F.A.R.T. (Furniture Arrangement Relocation Technician) team frantically helping people move in the town of Packmore.
