Insomnia is Christopher Nolan’s least talked about movie. Even though it’s just as good as the rest of his filmography. Insomnia takes place in Alaska and it details an aging LA police detective’s search for the killer in a local murder case. It’s probably most remembered for its fog sequence and its log chase. Al […]
And here we are at season 10 of Supernatural. Its been a long road so far with a few more seasons to go. This season starts in the aftermath of Deans death and his becoming a demon. Admittedly demon dean is pretty great. The season revolves a lot around curing him and finally getting rid of the Mark of Cain and figuring out the Book of the Damned. This season has some great surprises, and some very sad points.
This season also sets up season 11 amazingly. It is actually one of the strongest endings to a season in a while and I am happy I am basically binge watching these because having to wait for season 11 would have been horrible. While season 10 isn’t perfect it does pack a lot of great lore and back story into it and is quite interesting. Personally I had always wondered how a show like this stayed on for so long, but having seen all 10 seasons and started season 11 I understand now. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Announced at the Delayed but finally held Nintendo Direct, and as announced by GameRant coming in 2019 is Luigi’s Mansion and Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Switch. Not a lot was shown or even known about them but Luigi’s Mansion is just a working title and is likely to change before release. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Real nuns are scarier. I’m serious. It’s 1952 in Romania and we find exorcist Father Burke (Demián Bichir) and Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga), a novitiate who experiences strange religious visions, band together to check out just why the hell a nun killed herself in a church very far up there in the desolate mountains. Was […]
Lets be honest, the Mega Man series in recent years has been far from great. The glory days have long since passed and fans have been dying for a reprieve. @torstenvblog played Mighty No. 9 (first impressions) and was not happy with what can only be described as a Mega Man rip off. I couldn’t be bothered to play it myself even tho it was a free game from PSN after he told me how much he hated it. Suffice it to say, going into this demo I had very little faith this would be good.
To start there is a new mechanic, that admittedly I thought I would hate. You can basically slow down time or power up your weapon for a short period at the push of a button. I found the time slow more useful but the ability to hit a little harder when needed was nice. The L2 and R2 buttons on PS4 were my favorite add-on with being able to switch between robot powers at the push of a button. They have really streamlined many things in Mega Man 11, for example the triangle button just calls down Rush Coil for you. Now I know many things aren’t exactly new, but they function better than ever and are far more useful than ever before.
Graphically the game is beautiful but a bit cartoonish. I don’t mind this at all but I can see a few people being bothered by this. The sound is great as well but honestly all of this means nothing if that great Mega Man feeling isn’t there. I am happy to say by the way, it is. Less cheap deaths than the old days, but they are still there. You will be jumping and sliding through boards, shooting new and classic enemies. Honestly this is shaping up to be the best Mega Man game in years. Don’t believe me? Give it a shot yourself. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
The conjuring 3, another movie in The Conjuring Universe is expected to start filming net year according to Screen Rant. With The Nun having just released and Annabelle 3 expected out next summer it seems like we are in for at least a couple more years even tho the movies seem to be less and less about telling the story of Ed and Lorraine Warren and more about simply creating a horror series. Either way it should be interesting, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
It was recently revealed that Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles will be remastered for the PS4 and Nintendo Switch. The original was released for the Gamecube and was multiplayer but was honestly a bit odd in that it required everyone to have the GameBoy Advance. Thankfully this time around you won’t need that, so look for that in 2019. Check here for more details.
In other Final Fantasy news that honestly at this point shouldn’t surprise anyone, it seems like the Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be missing from the Tokyo Game Show. This most likely means there won’t be any real news and definitely no release date until 2019 at the earliest. To me tho the FF7 hype train is long gone and even most hardcore fans like myself don’t seem to even care. At this point we simply watch as this dumpster fire unfolds. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Season 9 of Supernatural follows Sam and Dean as they attempt to deal with Metatron and the fall of the angels from Heaven and the continued search for a way to defeat Abbadon. We will find out some lore about histories favorite first murderer, Cain and why he killed Abel. The season is actually very interesting, and meeting Cain proves to be a minor yet very great part of the season. I won’t spoil why for those that haven’t seen it yet but it is worth the wait.
The end of the season also plays out much as you would expect, setting up season 10. As always I won’t be explaining much on that either since that would also spoil quite a bit of things for you. The season focuses very heavily on a war between angels and the struggle Cass has with everything that happened which honestly at times gets a bit annoying. I love Cass but I’d like to see him be a bit less whiny in the future. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Now before this gets started I am in no way claiming any of these games are the actual best games of this generation, tho for one of them the argument can be made. These just happen to be my personal favorites, and as usual in no particular order.
7 Days to Die Revisted I have always had mixed feelings about this game but honestly I have put way more hours into it than I care to admit and I have had a blast with it and friends. Me and my daughter also have spent a lot of time with it because she loves zombies and building things, so it has a special place for me. It isn’t the best game out there and it has many issues, but for me its a favorite.
Stardew Valley is basically Harvest Moon back when it was good. The game is simply amazing, even more so when you consider it was made by one guy. When you want to simply relax, this is a great way to do it. Do a little farming, some fishing or even hunt one of the mines. As a fan of the original Harvest Moon that never got to play the game until the N64 version ( I later went back and played the others) it was great to go back and relive that fun.
Kerbal Space Program Enhanced Edition is a game that was at first on console basically broke to the point they delisted it, rebuilt it from the ground up with another company, then gave it away to the original buyers for free. The PC version and Enhanced edition however function well and if you are a fan of space and science and have an interest in this sort of thing there is a lot of fun to be had here. Admittedly tho most people will not enjoy this game.
BloodBorne review anyone that follows the blog had to know Bloodborne would make an appearance here. As part of the soulsborne series this is the only PS4 exclusive, it also happens to be one of the best in the series in my opinion. There will always be some debate as to which game in the series is the hardest or the easiest, but for me Bloodborne will probably be my favorite for a long time to come.
Persona 5 may actually be the best game this generation in my opinion. The story and graphics are amazing, the combat is about as flawless as it comes, in fact the game is as close to as perfect as a JRPG can come. Obviously no game is perfect, and every game has its flaws and this is no exception, but for me if you want to talk about best game if this gen this game has to be in the conversation if you want that conversation taken seriously. It doesn’t really win, but it has to be discussed I think. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
