After spending more than two decades touring, directing, writing and producing for Christian theater and radio (most recently for Adventures in Odyssey, which he still contributes to), Bob joined the Plugged In staff to help us focus more heavily on video games. He is also one of our primary movie reviewers.

Seth Rogen and his typical gang of lowball comedy pals think it’s a drag when their party gets crashed by … a horde of demons as Armageddon descends upon Los Angeles.
Turn over a new game with this town-building, resource-managing and friend-making “adventure” that’s animal-filled casual gaming at its most casual.
Memory manipulations and recollection reconstructions in a future world are the name of the game.
