I swear this isn’t a joke, I mean it. Here I have proof.
See told you. In 2019 we are getting a new Battletoads game. That video is really all we know so far, but honestly this is just so random and odd. I can only imagine this was made because they were wondering what they could make in 2019 that shouldn’t exist. I will probably buy it tho out of nostalgia for all the prank calls I got when I worked at Gamestop. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
So we horror fans got the first trailer for The Nun, the next chapter in the Conjuring universe. I loved The Conjuring (2013) but had mixed feelings when it came to The Conjuring 2 so I was a bit miffed when I heard the Nun was getting there own spin off. After the trailer, I’m actually pumped for it. It’s filmed beautifully with a great atmosphere and a nice scare at the end. Getting to see this after the Halloween 2018 first trailer I hope we get to see the signs of a new resurgence in horror in the near future. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
First I would like to say thank you to Intragames for sending us a copy of this game to review, it was very generous of them to do and also quite unexpected. It is a game clearly made with love and has an interesting concept, but many games can make that claim. The real question is, how does this one compare?
Well the story itself is very basic, which is actually a good thing. You will get an opening story scene which is nice and then you are set free to survive as long as you possibly can in this rogue like game. This is where the game shines, while it sounds bad to say every time you die you start over this is where the fun is. You will keep your money and get the chance to shop and even get a free item.
The reason restarting is so much fun is you will be randomly given a new character. I do mean randomly, you will wake up back at the camp fire and may have an axe or sword maybe a mage or just a shield and your character will look different. I never got the same character twice, and I tried. I spent about 5-10 minutes just getting killed by the first enemy I saw. The weapons all feel very different, the spear has a great thrusting attack, the sword a slash and the axe an interesting spinning attack. The mace however I struggled with its smash attack, it is very strong tho.
The controls mostly work off the left and right thumb-stick on the PS4, left moves you the right attacks. The movement of the left stick works great, the attack on the right is a hit or miss. most weapons this works great. A couple however like the mace it felt a bit off, trying to hit enemies was a but rough at times. It is 100% doable by the way, it is in no way broken and I don’t advise against using it. Just be aware it will take some practice and you still may have a few issues.
So what does all this mean to you the consumer? Should you buy it? Well I will split this up for you. I know some of you are trophy hunters, and you will buy a game specifically for a quick platinum if it’s for the right price. For you guys, this is a must buy. Seriously today is the day. The price of $14.99 for a fun game and an easy platinum. I got it playing this for the review in maybe 1-2 hours and I wasn’t even done playing. So for you trophy hunters, this is a must buy.
Now for the people who don’t care about trophies. The game isn’t perfect but the issues, the repetitive music for example. But at its price point the graphics are nice, the game is fun, the trophies are easy to get and it has a nice amount of replay ability. You can sit down and play it for 20 minutes or 3 hours and get the same amount of enjoyment. For me this is an easy recommendation to buy. If I had to toss a number value on it, 7.5 out of 10. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Not long ago, Fromsoftware dropped a teaser for Shadows Die Twice. and Nobody knew what the hell it was. Theories flew around about everything from Bloodborne 2 to a new Tenchu. Most people thought however it would be a new game all together. And the winner is, new game. The game seems to be a sort of Samurai meets Dark Souls kind of thing. Watch the trailer below and let me know what you think. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Rather than drag this out into 3 post I am just going to give you the short and sweet here. This week we got told of not one or 2 but THREE new gears of war games coming. The first we got Gears Pop. It is a funko themed mobile game based off the pop figures. No that isn’t a joke.
Second and my favorite of the group, is a Gears of War tactics game that predates all the others by about 12 years. Not much is known really except it is a turn based tactics game similar to Final Fantasy Tactics or Xcom and will be exclusive to PC.
Last but not least, and the most expected, is Gears of War 5 which they revealed with a trailer which will as always be below. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Tales of Vesperia was exclusively for Xbox 360 way back in 2008, and now 10 years later for the Xbox one we get the definitive edition. Now it has (at the time of this writing) not been confirmed if it is an xbox exclusive or not. The remastered game will have additional content and characters. See the video below, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
With E3 basically over, at least all the major stuff, and having had time to sit down and thought about it I figure I would take some time to sit town and just tell you guys what I thought. First, Bethesda as by far my favorite. I am not saying they had the definitive best conference or anything like that, it was just my personal favorite. They had a great sense of humor with their Skyrim skit and their jokes about Walmart not to mention Rage 2 and Fallout 76 look great.
Microsoft really knocked it out of the park as well, they may have had their best showing in years. It was everything they needed it to be, after years of people screaming where are the games they finally brought some and that was great to see. Tho they are playing pretty fast and loose with the term “exclusive”
EA…oh Ea…I don’t want to say to many negative things here, so I will say this, a Fifa tournament is not the way to end things, and they should be happy Square Enix exist. Speaking of SE, all I can say is that was the equivalent gamer abuse watching that. They wasted 30 minutes of my life and I would like it back.
On to Ubisoft. Serious question, am I the only one that hates For Honor? Of course not, when it came on hundreds of people on Twitch called it a dead game. And now they are legitimately giving the game away on PC. That aside Ubisoft was a fun watch and the new Assassins Creed looks like a lot of fun. The Division 2 has a lot of promise and I can’t wait for Skull and Bones.
Sony and Nintendo will be getting their own little write ups later,but my general feeling coming out of E3 was this may be the best E3 in a long time. Outside of Square Enix there wasn’t really a point I felt a company truly let me down. They were all a lot of fun and had a lot of great stuff coming out, and Square Enix themselves also have great stuff coming like Kingdom Hearts 3 and Dragon Quest 11 so despite their bad conference their games themselves are still promising. I will see you all soon, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Now I don’t have a review for Unravel 2, many people didn’t even know it was coming out. Hell some of you still may not know it is out. Here is the trailer by the way.
What I actually thought was cool about this was the release date choice. We got to the end of all this the speaker simply says and the game releases today (this was from June 9th) This for me was an odd, yet surprising and awesome choice. This is a game pretty much nobody knew was coming. There was no build or hype and the crowd got pretty excited. We get to the end of the preview and boom, this guy says go home and buy it. More companies I think should do this, sure it may hurt sales initially but I think overall it will even out. What do you guys think? Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Every so often I toss on a movie not because I care to watch it but just so I have something to watch while I work and so I have something to review. Seriously its like some weird illness. The story is of course about a boy and a girl who meet at a party, and end up hitting it off. She of course has a boyfriend which complicates things. As the friendship grows over the course of about a day things just grow even more complicated.
They do eventually of course get together, in both the dating and sexual sense. As the name of the movie implies the story is about their first time both together and in general. Also, it goes HORRIBLE. Seriously, there is an entire scene about it where they talk about it being bad and not sure how or why and it just being a train wreck. Now maybe it’s because my first time was with someone who’s first time was not with me, but I don’t remember a discussion like that. I remember a cigarette and a few days of thinking I can not believe that just happened. My story is a bit crazy tho.
Any way the movie is really good, and takes a rather realistic look at high school romance at times which is rather rare in my experience. There is also a rather cool Jay and Silent bob moment. Seriously we have a short English dude that says a lot and a tall fat black dude, plays football and they call him Big Corporation and says almost nothing the entire movie. Get it, because they destroy everything? Anyway towards the end of the movie sitting in a diner our English friend is lecturing our boy and giving him really bad advice when suddenly Big C gives him amazing advice to save the day.
Anyway the movie is worth checking out if you like rom-coms. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
I have a lot of time to reminisce at my day job, and I started remembering cartoons I’m shocked parents let us watch like Invader Zim and Ren and Stimpy. One of my all time favorites is Rocko’s Modern Life. It’s a story of a wallaby named Rocko just trying to live a normal, 90’s world full of the mad people who inhabit it. With him is trusty dog Spunky, best friends the gluttonous Heffer and sickly Fhilbert as well as other weird ass characters like his neighbors the BigHeads. So the question is yet to be asked, how does this show qualify as not that kid friendly? When you get older you begin to see a truck load of sexual innuendos, adult movie references, and some WTF moments laced throughout. For example, the superhero Really Really Big Man and his amazing nipples that make you see the future; the restaurant named Chokey Chicken; Mrs. Bighead getting pretty perverse about her sexual frustration and wanting to bang Rocko to spite her husband. Not to say the show is as harsh as Ren and Stimpy for kids, it’s just fine for them, but adults may end getting a bigger kick out of it, especially if you are a 90’s child like myself. In the end, if you find the complete series, which isn’t very expensive, it certainly is a interesting specimen to add to any TV collection. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
