Max Steel is a 2016 American superhero science-fiction-action movie directed by Stewart Hendler. Based on a Mattel action-figure line by the same name, it basically centres on Max Mcgrath (Ben Winchell), a young teenager and his exploits alongside an alien creature called Steel (Josh Brener) who combine to form the multi-powered superhero Max Steel.

Of all the trailers to drop at this year’s E3, Cyberpunk 2077 is the the least I’m familiar with. Cyberpunk always made me think of Blade Runner or the 90’s Judge Dredd movie. After watching the trailer at E3, I got a heavy GTA vibe set in a neon colored, gritty futuristic world which could be cool. Looking up the trailer for this, I did find trailers for this dating back to 2013 which is worrisome and after Aliens: Colonial Marines I get nervous about games in the making that long. The game looks like it could be a fun sandbox but it isn’t the top of my list. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Deadpool , the little antihero who could, has become a huge phenomenon in the two years since the movie. I see countless men, women, and children in Deadpool garb everyday at my day job. The very second the trailer dropped for Deadpool 2, in a rare event I haven’t witnessed since the teasers for Avengers: Age of Ultron and The Force Awakens debuted, I had friends, coworkers, and even random strangers ask me if I saw it and my thoughts (I give a shout out to the creative marketing behind this movie, keeping us engaged with hilarious parody trailers so the actual material wouldn’t get old.) So, does Wade have what it takes to earn the hype?
Picking up months after the first ended, Wade is finally happy being an unkillable mercenary with girlfriend Vanessa, about to start a family when, like every superhero story ever told, tragedy strikes. Wade, left broken hearted is suicidal but that’s for naught because of that pesky healing factor, so he joins the X men as a trainee with old buddies Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead. There’s a troubled youth going a rampage named Russel at the Mutant Rehabilitation orphanage, but all it’s what it seems; he’s been abused and in a fit of rage Wade kills one of the assholes responsible and lands him and Russel in a detention center for mutants. It isn’t long until a threat from the future comes, claiming Russel would slay his family one day and it’s duty to assassinate the boy here and now to save them in the future. Enter Cable. It’s up to Wade to save the boy from Cable with his own group of misfits, but can he change the future?
I have to honest, for a while I’ve been burnt on Deadpool since the first movie and the mammoth popularity in pop culture. That being said, I loved Deadpool 2, but it’s not without some flaws. If you love raunchy, meta comedy, you will adore this movie, especially if you are a superhero nerd like myself. The action is bigger and there’s a host of characters, old and new to fall in love with. This is Josh Brolin’s year, he excels at being Cable just as he did playing Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War and Domino was a welcome addition, as well as the well done villain cameo at the end I won’t spoil. A small flaw I had was the movie flows really good until the third act where I felt it dragged a bit. Another issue I had was I felt the emotional parts of the movie stopped having weight to them because of the never ending speed and intensity of the jokes and I feel the first movie balanced these aspects out a lot better. In the end, I liked it as much as the first film but it easily could have transgressed the first if they work on the serious/ comedy balance a bit better, flushed the characters out a bit more, and paced the jokes a bit better. It’s still awesome as hell and I highly recommend it. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Space Harrier 2 is the story of a guy with a huge cannon somehow flying around shooting even weirder stuff. By the way not in a plane or anything. He is just holding a cannon just shooting stuff. Also the usual is true here, either looks like the original, or an insanely well polished newer version.
Seriously this game is weird as hell check out my original review for Sega Forever Space Harrier 2 Sega Forever and that opinion hasn’t changed one bit. The game is pretty fun for the early style shooter it is, but it is still a weird concept. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
So Xbox at its big E3 today, and it started off by making a very bold claim. 50 games, 18 exclusives and a whole bunch of world premieres. For a company that is renowned for having very few exclusives and even less of quality this is a very big claim. Now I didn’t count, but it was over an hour and a half of just games. I marked down a lot of the interesting and big titles, but I will happily assume it was in the ballpark.
We got some big ones, Halo Infinity, 3 new Gears of Wars games, possibly the most random game announced in years with Battletoads, the reveal of Division 2 and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. This was possibly the most game staked conference in years if not ever. There was nothing ground breaking or that will change the landscape of gaming, but I have to say unless Nintendo or Sony has something MASSIVE to reveal, Xbox has this E3 in the bag. Best wishes and may the gaming…Oh yea, and at the last possible moment, as Phil Spencer was saying good-bye the lights dropped, and Cyberpunk 2077 was revealed. Gaming gods bring you glory.
As we get closer to release (by the time this post it will be around 48 hours away) We finally have confirmation of what species will be released in Jurassic World Evolution, sort of. Basically someone has put the information together, I have put the link below. Enjoy and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Command & Conquer Rivals is a new C&C for the more modern era, and by that I mean it’s for mobile. Being shown at E3 actually upset a few people since cellphone games usually aren’t shown at the event. For a more in-depth explanation for why you will see more of it tho, look here. Are Mobile Game Players Gamers?
As for what the game is, well its C&C. You gather resources and fight over a Nuclear missile in the center of the map. Whoever controls 2 of the 3 spots when the meter fills up shoots the enemy base, whoever hits the enemy base twice wins. Pretty simple concept really. The game will be available on IOS and Android but to my knowledge is currently only available in pre-alpha on Android. The game is fun but does have its issues. While feeling decently like C&C they make it a point to tell you that for now there are no in-game purchases, meaning the full game will have some.
You do occasionally win boxes with money and troops, and it is a save assumption these are what you can buy. If that is the case, this is clearly going to be a pay to win mobile game from EA. To make matters worse, at least for now the game seems to be nothing but PVP with no way to practice or even grind for stuff. The game however is fun and easy to get into. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
If you thought September was busting at the seems with gaming greatness, then it’s time to apply some duct tape to those gaming britches, as Bandai Namco is adding Code Vein to the mix as it launches worldwide this September 28! The game, often described as “Dark Souls the anime”, is going to have some […]

With EA conference being today we did get some new info on Battlefield V today, some of it expected, some of it maybe not so much. We found out houses are now pretty destructible so hiding in them will be more dangerous than ever. This is hardly new, but you can expect it to look better than ever.
Also the usual cannons floating around the map are now able to be moved. We saw a video of a vehicle drive up attached one and just drive away, now making them more useful and more versatile.
Also confirmed, and this one I expected as did most people, yes there is going to be a Battle Royale mode in Battlefield V. Not much detail has been given but we have been promised more before release, but we have been told there will be a Battlefield twist to it with weapons and vehicles.
I must admit the game is shaping up to be beautiful, and I for one am looking forward to it. Best wishes and may the gaming gods smile upon you.
