Winning the Human Race- ORIGINS Review

MB Updated
There Will Be Games
Chapel

Hey, whaddya know, it's thursday so that means it's time for another installment of Cracked LCD over at Gameshark.com.  In honor of F:AT's very own monkeyboy MIKE CHAPEL, who flung a little poo at us this week before retreating back to BGG to nurse his wounds with a banana daquiri, we're going back to visit our evolutionary ancestors in this review of ORIGINS: HOW WE BECAME HUMAN .  It's a good one folks...well, I think it is at least.

 

BUT WHAT'S THIS?!  Gameshark.com editor Bill Abner throws his kilt in the ring this week as well with  this review of HAMMER OF THE SCOTS .  It's a good game and a great review, so check it out too.   Free Haggis to the first five readers!

Michael Barnes (He/Him)
Senior Board Game Reviews Editor

Sometime in the early 1980s, MichaelBarnes’ parents thought it would be a good idea to buy him a board game to keep him busy with some friends during one of those high-pressure, “free” timeshare vacations. It turned out to be a terrible idea, because the game was TSR’s Dungeon! - and the rest, as they say, is history. Michael has been involved with writing professionally about games since 2002, when he busked for store credit writing for Boulder Games’ newsletter. He has written for a number of international hobby gaming periodicals and popular Web sites. From 2004-2008, he was the co-owner of Atlanta Game Factory, a brick-and-mortar retail store. He is currently the co-founder of FortressAT.com and Nohighscores.com as well as the Editor-in-Chief of Miniature Market’s Review Corner feature. He is married with two childen and when he’s not playing some kind of game he enjoys stockpiling trivial information about music, comics and film.
