So lately I have been interested in making a game similar to Star Wars™ Galaxy of Heroes and DC Legends , but themed differently with African heroes and stories. DC Legends game play Now these games are available online and for mobile devices and they offer a game play in which you assemble a team and fight against other teams controlled by the game's AI. The opponent teams are usually assembled as part of the game's story mode but you can also play against teams created by other players around the world (which the AI also controls). Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes - AI in action As you play, you discover or add on characters to your roster and you can eventually have different teams. Each character will have a set of unique abilities (some which may need to be unlocked) and at times there are also boosts that come along with the character using those abilities.

Now that the book is finally out, I am now soliciting for reviews.

At the same time, I was also the school librarian and so getting myself a copy of the Shakespeare play, along with commentary, was not so difficult to do. I read everything from the substance that made the play to the sources that Shakespeare used to bring out his story... Yes, I am talking about you Raphael Holinshed ! Several things stood out for me from the whole story and the tragedy that was portrayed in the whole production (not just the ending). The realisation that came to Irish-German actor Michael Fassbender when he played the iconic title character in a film version of the play in 2015, is the same one that I had over a decade before that. Shakespeare's Macbeth suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder! S...
