Dredd takes a character as cool and unique as Judge Dredd and says, “hey, maybe we should take this character seriously.” Judge Dredd is still a relatively obscure character. Despite existing since the 70’s and receiving a movie in the 90’s. So the thought of their being a gritty reboot didn’t exactly register. It’s why Dredd […]
Over the past few years I’ve been watching how DC’s rebirth has been going and finally I took my first step in with the newest Green Lanterns series, following the adventures of new Green Lanterns, Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz.
Baz, a troubled, arrogant young Muslim found himself in deep trouble with the government only to be rescued by the fabled Green Lantern ring; Cruz is a young woman who had fallen victim to depression, anxiety, and Agoraphobia after a tragedy befell her. Both are assigned to protect Earth by legendary Lantern Hal Jordan, but when he notices the friction between the duo, he assigns them the same power battery, forcing them to work together. What could go wrong? A exiled, fugitive Guardian finds his way to Earth searching for Jordan, finding his way to Baz’s family with a powerful weapon that can potentially dwarf the Green Lantern’s ring. But this event gets swept aside when the Corp’s nemesis and Red Lantern leader Atrocitus plans to unleash Red Dawn on the Earth, infecting the world with rage. Can these rookies work together, get a grip on there powers, and stop the rage?
Rage Planet is a good start for DC rebirth as well as for a Green Lantern or comic fan. Baz and Cruz are solid characters I found relate-able, especially Cruz who struck a note with me. Atrocitus has some awesome moments and some depth to him that makes him one of my favorite Lantern characters. It’s a good start up story and I’d say its well worth a read for fans and readers new to comics. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Hey everyone hows it going? So recently Activision released a statement about how they are unhappy with the way destiny 2 was performing sales wise which I can understand. You invest a 10 year, 500 million dollar contract you expect a good return in profits. But it makes me wonder how much say does Activision […]
As is customary, I’m starting this semi review with a shout out to my friend Autobot who played what I did. Always awesome dude.
First things first, there isn’t a campaign which brought on a lot of rolled eyes and angry fans. This is strictly multiplayer. Essentially the game boils down to three major game types: the pretty common, fast paced, multiplayer modes COD is famous for by now, the zombie stuff people love, and the battle royale shit because well…Fortnite. We didn’t touch zombies, hence why I call this a semi-review, but I played a good half a dozen matches or so in the other two- enough for a good feel.
For the standard multiplayer, much of it feels like it did in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 without the wall running and the super slide. The guns handle nice and it’s easy to die, but this time there is a med injector feature much like Battlefield: Bad Company in which adds a little spice to the matches. The maps are a little wider than my previous experience and a little strategy can go a long way but ultimately it comes down to reflexes and the guns you’re packing. They pulled back on the specials from 3, now if a player uses them it doesn’t feel as game breaking, and thank god they ditched those pain in the ass wheels from 3.
Battle Royale plays almost exactly how Fortnite does. There’s a pre-game screw off, you jump off onto a island that looks pretty much like a twin to Fortnite’s and let the games begin. I always liked the concept of Fortnite but never liked the actual gun play but I have to admit I personally believe COD fixes the problem. Matches are challenging but the gameplay is crisp and well done in COD fashion. I think the storm bubble could close in faster but it’s not a huge complaint.
From what I played, I can say there is a surprising amount of fun to the game but not $60 worth. 30 I would think about it but I can’t evade a empty feeling with it and I’m sure Activision will beat more maps and such out of us with DLC and such. May the gaming gods bring us glory.
Prison sucks. Obviously. Henri “Papillon” Charrière (Charlie Hunnam) is a safecracker from the Parisian underworld who seems to be living the good life and loving every second of it. That is, until he is framed for murder and condemned to life in the notorious penal colony on Devil’s Island, the kind of place where even […]
I’m very sad to say a few days ago we lost a beloved icon in nerd history, the man himself Stan Lee. For those who didn’t know ( how can you not in this day and age, but hey it happens) he was one one Marvel comics earliest writers giving us such beloved heroes such as the X-Men, The Fantastic 4, The Incredible Hulk, Dr Strange, Daredevil and Marvel’s iconic Spider-man. Stan Lee helped revolutionize the way we think of superheroes and villains because him and Marvel were the first to treat them like real people that dealt with real issues: the F4 were a dysfunctional family, the X Men were outcasts in a time of the Civil Rights and several other movements in our country- Magneto was a traumatized holocaust survivor, the Hulk openly talked about the effects of child abuse, and Spider-man was an average teenage geek. Marvel characters were the first to feel like us, people we knew. I once heard Stan Lee say the point was that any of us could be heroes, no matter what and the world was full of them. I took that to heart a lot as a kid.
He’s appeared in so many shows, video games, and of course his awesome cameos in Marvel movies, which sometimes were the best part. I think I speck for nerd kind when I say I don’t what will be harder, seeing Stan Lee’s final cameo with a dedication at the end of the movie, or watching a movie all the way through and knowing he won’t be there.
In closing, I just say be a true believer: believe in the extraordinary, believe you can be extraordinary no matter if your thin, big, small, where you came from, what color your skin is, or even if you’re a chess geek that got bitten by a spider. There is a hero in all of us, even the villains, and we are all people. From Savior and I, rest easy Stan Lee and for those he inspired in his wake- Excelsior!
Here’s a weird one folks. Laser League is a sports puzzle game with a high neon colored vibe like Tron. In either 2 V 2 or 3 V 3 matches, two teams face off against each other on an arena with a simple goal: eliminate the players on the other team. Every team has the ability to activate a series of force-fields to wipe the other players out. There are power ups on field that can help you or screw them as well as combat attributes to help your team’s chance of survival.
After some tests with Savior and Sniper, I can definitely say this game ain’t for everyone. After the tutorial I can’t recommend enough, there is a learning curve. Chances are, the people you are playing against are way better than you at this so expect to get you’re ass kicked a lot. I personally don’t mind the game but I can’t deny there are problems. While the graphics are pretty good and the colors are extremely eye catching, your player on screen are ant tiny and it’s easy to lose track of yourself in the heat of it all. Another issue I have are the long ass loading times, even being a free game on PSN the wait times are pretty long and frequent at times. Overall, the game is alright and worth checking out for free but I don’t recommend it higher than $20. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
After DragonBall Super movie: Broly trailer and those that followed, despite popular opinions, I’m not thrilled how Broly is being done in this movie. Not to say I don’t think it will be a badass movie, I’m just saying Broly’s new origin doesn’t really grab me so much. Still, I’m excited to see Broly come back and be cannon at last. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Almost 2 weeks ago we got the first trailer for Reign of the Supermen, the third story in the Death of Superman story. After Superman dies, 4 new figures emerge attempting to fill his mantle but not all of them maybe a force for good. I always wanted to read it because it was the debut of Steel. The trailer looks good and I’m curious how it’ll go. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
I don’t know about my fellow Brahs, but this guy has always enjoyed the hell out of Disney’s Tangled. So when Square Enix revealed that the Kingdom of Corona would be in Kingdom Hearts III, The Brah was excited! Square Enix dropped an all-new trailer today at LUCCA 2018 and as you probably figured by […]
