What's new on Savvy Gaming Network for the Month of September 2024
Welcome the to the first newsletter for Savvy Gaming Network! This has been a month of firsts for good ol’ SGN. This month marks not only the very first newsletter but also the first time we’ve had multiple reviews of the same game. This is something I wanted to happen since I launched Savvy Gaming Network a few years ago. I believe having multiple perspectives on a game is a good thing. One person’s trash maybe another persons treasure.
The game I’m talking about is Alien Isolation. Elise posted a review of it back at the end of August. Then she decided to make it our book club pick for the Month of October. I knew I wanted to play and review it since its considered a cult classic, but it was already reviewed on the website. Then I remembered the whole reason I created Savvy Gaming Network, I thought having a website where multiple people reviewing the same game would give a more well rounded review of that title. Since we only have a couple writers this will have to do for now, but I am glad it happened. Both me and Elise have wildly different options on Alien Isolation.
Speaking of the Book Club we read the very first Watch Dogs novel ever made, Watch Dogs //N/ Dark Clouds. There were two versions of the novel one is considered lost media now and you can read all about it in our article or listen to our podcast on it.
This was really the month of PlayStation, they not only announced a new PS5 Pro they also had a State of Play.
I also just got back from a trip to Japan and on that trip I went to many locations from the Yakuza/ Like a Dragon series of game and decided to share my experience . I also documented my journey to see that mysterious Sonic the Hedgehog statue in the woods.
Finally I finished the first DLC for Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time, while listening to the Watch Dogs Novel I had to read for the book club. The DLC was very cute but I’m excited to see what they do in the future. You can read my whole thoughts here.
