State of Decay 2

download

This is one of those games I want to trash and praise at the same time, graphically it looks good but isn’t amazing and the game play is simply fun. You build a community of survivors while you find supplies, usual stuff. Search houses and warehouses and stuff, find food, gas for cars and generators, medicine. Nothing ground breaking but fun. The controls work nice, sort of.

I say sort of because damn these glitches are seriously a pain in the ass. Stuff disappears and reappears at will, you get stuck places, zombies will punch doors that don’t exist then suddenly do. The game has gotten better with updates, but honestly it is so damn frustrating to play at times. I don’t even bother with the online features most of the time. after all the issues. The game is fun, one example is early on one of my neighbors Mark and his friend Tom needed my help getting some medicine back. So I decided to help, and as we get them back these to robbers open fire. As they die I take this chance to put a bullet in the back of Marks head. I report Marks demise back to Tom, but I tell him the other guys killed Mark and offer to let him join my community. Not wanting to be left alone he takes me up on that. I now how Tom, their meds and a bunch of supplies.

This may seem pretty dishonest, but I thought it was whats best for my group. These are the types of decisions you can make, tho I am not sure you are  SUPPOSED to make. The best way tho to experience this game however is through game pass, until this game is fixed tho I can’t recommend buying this one. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Survivors Guide To Prison (2017)

images (2)

This isn’t actually a movie, it’s a documentary. It follows the struggle of innocent men sent to jail for crimes they clearly didn’t commit,but were charged and found guilty with anyway and how they eventually were set free. This happens far more often that you would think, but rarely do people ever get out.

The movie also gives tips for if you find yourself in this situation, such as getting a good lawyer, not discussing your case with other inmates or assuming any of them are your friends and remaining silent because much of it will be used against you and twisted by many. All of this is very good advice and actually the same advice any lawyer would give you.

The movie has a lot of information, far too much for me to pass along without this post being thousands of words long. If you are simply interested in the cases followed they are Bruce Lisker and Reggie Cole but I do recommend checking this out. It was an interesting and somewhat emotional watch with some valid points that many people may be unaware of, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Phantasy Star 4 Sega Genesis Classics

This one is an all time favorite of mine, so I was always going to be harsh on this one and I have actually reviewed it before as you can see Phantasy Star 4. So you can see, I enjoy it. So if you want to know more about the game itself feel free to click there. This is just a short how does this version hold up.

Just like the rest of the Genesis Classics, you get to choose if you want the original look or a cleaner more modern look. Also on rare occasion you will hear a sort of weird distortion to the sound, that was also in the original game, these games haven’t really been changed from the originals they have just been emulated. If you haven’t checked this game out and enjoy RPG’s, now is the perfect time. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

For many of us we are already away of the announcement of Lets go Eevee and Pikachu Pokemon for the Switch, Officially.  This however was quickly confirmed to NOT be the core Pokemon game mentioned in the past at E3. That however is coming in 2019 according to theverge.  As a fan of Pokemon this is great news to me, not because I don’t like the look of the let’s go games, I think they look great. I am just looking forward to more Pokemon. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Tom Segura: Disgraceful (2018)

download (1)

Tom Segura is a guy I never really watched before, not for any particular reason besides I had never known who he was. I admittedly wish I did. The guy is actually pretty funny, covering topics such as racism, pop culture and weirdly it actually isn’t the sort of shock humor you would expect. For example he makes the joke about people getting hurt is funny but a person with a disability isn’t, except sometimes it is. He uses the example that if someone gets hit in the head and suddenly speaks his normal language but not with a funny accent, it is funny. This is true, it is a rare but real thing and it is hilarious.

There is some swearing involved but there isn’t anything all that offensive in there. I wouldn’t exactly call this a family program, don’t toss this on for the kids. However if you want some sort of adult oriented comedy show without off the wall and insanely offensive comedy, this is worth watching. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Sonic Spinball Sega Genesis Classic

download

Sonic Spinball has always been an oddball Sonic game. It fit by the way, he rolls into a ball, travels really fast and jumps really high. But does it really work? In short, yea. The graphics were never great, but like pretty much every game in the collection you have the option  to make it look better than ever or the original. The sound also has a very old-fashioned pinball machine feel to it.

The only real issue with this game is that is very niche. It is pinball in 2018, most people have no interest. The game is pretty fun tho, if not a bit old-fashioned. It is very much worth a shot, but don’t expect the usual Sonic game. You will still be collecting Chaos Emeralds however as well as rings. The basics of Sonic are still there for fans of the series as are the characters as well. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Two Point Hospital (preview)

Here we are, Two Point Hospital, another spiritual successor to Theme Hospital. Theme Hospital was much like theme park, a wacky simulation game where you ran a business. This time you treated weird illnesses from guys that walked around dressed like Elvis to bloated heads which by the way you popped with a needled and then blew back up like a ball. So how similar is Two Point Hospital?

That is about 10 minutes of game play, there is a guy walking around with a light-bulb as a head. No he doesn’t have a good idea, that is what he is there to get cured. Unlike Project Hospital which also looks amazing this one takes a more silly route than the more serious sim route. Both look great and honestly I fully indent to get both. There is plenty of room for both, but I actually think we will see Two Point Hospital on console. Nothing has been said or even hinted at for this, but it is backed by Sega and theme hospital was an original PlayStation game so if that happens remember I called it. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
