Video Game Book Club – Join Elise and Savvy every month for an hour or so chat about books and other media that tie into Video Games.
For the Video Game Book Club this month we got another request, this time it was to read the Novelizations of The Force Unleashed video games. Sadly due to our schedules we were not able to play the games before finishing the novel so our review of the novel is by its merit alone. I never t...
