Supergirl teaser trailer

I wasn’t sure what to expect from the follow up to Superman (2025). Milly Alcock was great in her cameo and her sassy, drunken badass persona from her cousin’s movie is on full display here I do love that we instantly know she’s nothing like Clark. I think it’s also cool her first solo movie is a space adventure. Jason Momoa looks perfectly as the main man himself, cosmic bounty hunter Lobo. I’m pretty excited to see more and dive into Kara’s story more. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Control: Resonant reveal trailer

Not going to lie, Control 2 stole the game awards for me. Alan Wake 2 was one of the best horror game experiences I’ve had since Dead Space (2023) so I was insanely pumped for this surprise. I love the nightmarish Dr Strange vibe. The combat looks sort of souls like but with the gravity, reality shattering creativity of the first Control. Visually the game looks nuts in the best way. I’m absolutely keeping an eye out on Control 2. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Star Wars Galactic Racer teaser trailer

I was in love with the pod racing games of old growing up. Even now, I still think Episode 1 pod racer is awesome. In theory a new high speed Star Wars racer can be mind blowing with today’s graphics and game mechanics. Unfortunately I already know corporate greed and microtransactions are going to be all over this game. Hopefully the game will still kick ass despite the dark side of modern gaming being deep into this thing. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Resident Evil 9 Leon trailer

So I know I’m calling his the Leon trailer, and oh boy does he steal the show, but I got a couple of stops to make along the way. We start by learning our antagonist is a dude name Victor Gideon who I got mixed feelings on. Gideon is giving me some real hard Mad Eye Moody vibes with his look but I like his voice. The graphics look incredible and I love the atmosphere. Leon looks like a total badass and I did smile seeing him return. What worries me a bit is the game might be too action focused or completely bust trying to deliver 2 different gameplay styles between Grace and Leon- last thing we need is a repeat of Resident Evil 6. In the end, the game looks great still and like many, I was pumped to see Leon return. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple trailer 2

I’m still in awe after such a long hiatus we’re getting 2 installments in this series. I love the apocalyptic feel. I’m also a huge fan of Ralph Fiennes and Jack O Connell. Sadly I wasn’t able to see 28 Years Later as of this posting but I am excited for the 2nd part of this horror epic. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Dungeon Rampage Steam Review

Some of you may remember the good old days of flash games; Facebook was full of them. Dungeon Rampage was quite popular, and it has returned to Steam. Gamebreaking Studios was kind enough to send me a copy to review.

The game is quite simple: 1-4 people hack and slash their way through levels to find gold and treasure chests. You can use that gold to buy keys to open those chests to get powerful weapons and items. The experience you gain from this will also help you level up, and each time you level up, you will gain 5 gems. Gems can be used to buy new characters and cosmetic items for them, such as outfits.

This is where the flaw comes into an otherwise decently fun game for $10. The original version of the game was free to play, and like many of those games, it was essentially pay to progress. If you weren’t willing to sink potentially 100 or more hours into the game, you weren’t unlocking everything. The real money aspect has been completely removed; you buy the game, and you can play it as much as you want.

The issue is that they do not seem to have rebalanced the game. After the first hour, you will have more chest than you can open. Without the option to buy gold as the game intended, you start collecting more than you can open. Relying on leveling up and daily rewards to get gems also puts you on an extremely slow path to unlocking characters. The archer character is the cheapest to unlock, costing only 150 gems, which isn’t bad. The next 2, however, cost a whopping 800 each. That’s roughly 350 levels, which is way too long to be playing a game that doesn’t have a ton to offer to begin with.

The game does function as advertised, if that is worth playing or not is completely debatable, and I legitimately worry they will eventually turn it back into a pay-to-progress situation. It is a 5/10 for me. It functions, but I can’t recommend it. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake Playstation 5 Remaster Review

Dragon Quest 3 HD 2-2D Remake is one of those games that truly show how these games should be done. They don’t try to change the original, they simply improve the orginal by updating it for a modern audience while keeping what people loved about the initial release.

For starters, you will need to create your own character, take a little quiz, and find out what your personality is. This will help determine your stat growth. When you make your group, you will essentially be assigned random ones as you choose a vocation for each member. Don’t worry, there are plenty of ways to change these during your adventure, and you can even swap out people pretty easily. I definitely recommend keeping a monster rangler with you at all times, however. I didn’t do this, and finding friendly monsters to help me in the arena became annoying. There is an item known as Musk that can help replace them, and a move the thief learns also helps, but it is easier to just have a wrangler.

The story itself is nice, but it is the typical you are the child of a great hero and go on a quest to defeat a great evil. You will spend part of the game finding orbs and following in your father’s footsteps. I won’t say more than that because I don’t want to spoil anything, but most of you will already know where this story is going.

The combat is also a typical turn-based adventure, but it is also one of the more challenging games in the series. The difficulty spikes can be brutal if you aren’t expecting them, and when you change vocations for your other characters, they restart at level one and lose half of their stats. This is a great way for people to build an extensive spell and ability list, and a character that has reached level 20 in two different vocations will absolutely be stronger than a character that has reached level 30 in one. (It takes a similar amount of experience to do this.) So it is worth doing this, but choosing when and how is important.

As always, killing metal slimes before they run away is important for leveling

If you had any reservations about picking up the HD remakes of Dragon Quest, lay them to bed and pick them up. They are fantastic, and are easily up there with Suikoden 1 HD Remaster Review in quality of Remakes and Remasters. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

The Conjuring: Last Rites

The Conjuring: Last Rights is basically the perfect example of how to not make a AAA horror movie. As I do every year around my birthday, I crashed at @torstenvblog house, ordered pizza, and we watched movies. Nine this year to be exact, and I am sure you will be reading about the rest soon enough from him. This one, however, I insisted on writing about myself.

The movie itself mostly revolves around the Warren family and how Ed and Lorrain had a daughter, Judy. They had stopped their investigations for years by the time the Smurl family haunting had taken place, and they were focusing on Judy’s upcoming wedding.

This obviously has nothing to do with the Smurl house, but they did shoehorn Judy having visions and whatnot into this about the Smurl house and the demon that is haunting the family; they came from a mirror shown earlier in the movie connecting the Warrens and Smurls. This never happened in real life, by the way.

In fact, the entire movie never even bothers to make you care about the Smurl family. You spend very little time with them. The little kids are mostly shown running around, playing. The older kids scream a bit about how they can’t keep living like this, but outside of a few scenes, they never really show what this even is. We do get a couple of great scenes towards the end where one daughter finds a video from her birthday and is chased by a crazy ghost with an axe, and this is the same night we see the father molested by one. This, however, is after she screams about living like this; what was going on before then is very little that is even mentioned.

Even ignoring that I come from the same area as this Smurl house (I’ve literally driven past it more than once in my travels) and shared emails with people who lived there while working on a book and helping a friend with a podcast (decades of people who lived there have denied anything happening there, going all the way back to the 1980s) and even ignoring the fact I personally think the Warrens are probably frauds, the potental for this to be a good movie exist. The first two Conjuring movies are good. This movie, however, does everything wrong, and nobody should ever watch this pile of garbage. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Blumhouse Games Reveals New Trailer for Grave Seasons During PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted

I honestly don’t know too much about Grave Seasons aside from the fact that it is a cozy horror game where you can fill your day getting to know the townspeople, fishing, farming, and doing all the things you would expect to do. The town also appears to have a serial killer on the loose. You can wishlist the game on Steam now, and it will be released on PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. Enjoy the Trailer, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
