Ok so this is not so cyberpunk but I love this game! It looks like a new expansion pack is coming out at some point in the future (no release date). Good news – level cap moved to 80, new quests, hero class, new instances, siege weapons, destructible buildings – good fun! Read About Wrath [&hellip

Well I have hit the 50% mark for Spook Country and I wanted to give you all a quick update on the book. Chapters are really short – under 5 pages or so on average – great for reading while doing your dirty business Blue Ant is back! New technological concept is a kind of [&hellip

An interesting site all-in-all, but this specific post was a pretty good one for, as one commentor says, recognizing that scifi started before 1980.
