911 Operator (PC)

Recently my friend over at Gaming With Noobs picked me up a copy of 911 Operator to check out since it was on sale and he enjoyed it. So please check out his review if you get a minute. As for me, I enjoyed the game but I do agree with him. The game while fun does get repetitive really fast if you are playing the base game. The calls and incidents repeat themselves and you do basically just spend all your time left and right-clicking to send cops, fire trucks, and medics places.

The flip side is it is fun trying to manage it all, do you send your police to check on the crying kid that may or may not be something or do you send them to the argument at the bar? As you make more money you can get bigger and better vehicles and helicopters or even a horse. I like to give the guy on a horse machine a gun. There is no reason for this besides I like to imagine a dude on a horse riding up to someone with an M-16 on a horse.

You can also just ignore the calls completely because screw that dude with a cat stuck in a tree. It really isn’t your problem right? Just don’t leave your cops for dead during a shootout, it tends to make the game harder and I never actually got anyone to die. They kind of just hang out until you send someone in my experience. We all know I wasn’t just going to play this game the right way. The game is worth the money tho and I wish I picked it up sooner. Even more impressive is you can download the map for most cities and they are quite accurate. I downloaded the one for my home town and ended up with a car accident a block from my house. So have fun, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Harley Quinn SDCC trailer

It’s no real new the DC streaming service ain’t doing so great, after the fast cancellation of Swamp Thing and the only Titans getting green lite for a second season, despite meh ratings at best. I must admit, I dig the bright, colorful, and pretty adult-rated Harley cartoon. I can’t say it looks great but it sure looks promising. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

SDCC Flash season 6 trailer

As with the CW DC universe, I’m pretty out of touch but I did love Flash, season 1 and always meant to catch up (ha ha Flash pun). Away, Flash season 6 has the Scarlet Speedster and crew facing off against Bloodwork who seems to have bone to pick with the crew. The only thing I’m not that thrilled with is how super bright Barry’s costume is to me; I know it’s traditional but I liked the darker red better myself. My the gaming gods bring you glory.

Golf Clash (Mobile)

Golf Clash is one of those games I saw and gave a shot because it seemed really simple and quick to play and honestly it truly is. Just pull back for power, wait for the slider to be in the sweet spot and let go and boom. The ball goes flying down the course. Winning games will give you coins and occasionally a chest that takes a bit of time to open. The chest may give you coins or points towards clubs. These clubs will let you upgrade the corresponding club to increase your performance. And here is where my issue comes in, it basically becomes pay to win at that point at least later. Getting enough coins to upgrade clubs takes forever if you aren’t willing to pay real money, and you have little hope of beating people that have. Skill will only take you so far honestly. It is a fun and simple game, just be aware that occasionally at hire levels winning isn’t something you can probably so without some cash. Best wishes and may thee gaming gods bring you glory.

When Thor 4 Confirmed to be in MCU Timeline

As reported by cinemablend as many people have been wondering ever since Thor Love and Thunder was announced, where the hell could this movie take place in the MCU timeline? With Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and Thor leaving with them where does Thor 4 take place? Well, writer James Gunn ended that discussion with one word. “Before” So that settles it, Thor Love and  Thunder takes place before Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Now it is just a matter of waiting for their inevitable release. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

SDCC Arrow season 8 preview

Next year Arrow concludes after 8 seasons and the story of Oliver Queen and Green Arrow is coming to an end. While the show has had it’s fair share of ups and downs, it did launch the CW’s DC universe and that alone grants it a lot of credit. I’m wondering if Oliver will live to see a happy ending or he’ll meet his match at last. Time will tell next year. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Seaport (Mobile)

Seaport is one of those games that at first seems really cool and starts out interesting, but you quickly realize you are doing the same thing over and over again and the resources you are getting started to outpace what you actually need. The game isn’t all bad. Upgrading your port and all your ships is interesting and if you are patient you never have to spend any real money, it would just make things faster. In the end tho I can’t really recommend this one. There are better games out there that are far less repetitive and have more content. Unless you love ships, this one is better off being passed on. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Bioshock Infinite

bioshock inf

Sometimes change is a good thing. I loved Bioshock with all my heart so when I heard the third game in the series wasn’t going to be in the underwater city of Rapture, no plasmids, no Big Daddies, and no Splicers I figured the series was dead. Then came the day I got it as a Christmas present ans suddenly my eyes were open wide and to a whole new world of possibilities…

The year is 1912 and Booker Dewitt is a man with some problems. A former soldier and Pinkerton, Booker is a desperate man who needs a his debt wiped away. A mysterious set of twins arrives with a proposition: bring us the girl and wipe away the debt. The girl in question is Elizabeth, a young woman locked away in a tower most of her life in the flying city of Columbia, a city where Americana and religion are one in the same, led by a deranged prophet named Zachary Hale Comstock. Booker’s stay in Columbia isn’t a safe one, a raffle he’s outed as a outsider and Comstock’s  followers rain down on him. Armed with guns, a sky-hook, and the Vigors that grant him different powers, Booker frees Elizabeth, guarded by the bio-mechanical  Songbird. It’s not long before Booker discovers why the people of Columbia worshiped her- she has the ability to open tears into new dimensions and it’s from there Booker learns you can’t hide from the past…

Infinite is a humongous leap forward for the series in pretty much every way. Gameplay feels much more modern with far more options for weapons and the ability to combo your Vigors. Elizabeth is my favorite AI partner of all time, she can’t die, searches the area for useful items for you and can summon some awesome shit from other dimensions. The world is beautifully brought to life with top notch graphics, sound, and voice performances. The story is one of the best of the decade with some huge twists at the end and great characters. It’s hard for me to say which is my favorite between the first or Infinite and while I can’t say, it’s still a contender for best Bioshock and one of my favorite games I can’t recommend enough. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
