Command & Conquer Rivals (Mobile)

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.

Battlefield V Updates

download (3)

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.

Golden Axe (Sega Genesis Classics)

Today we get a double dose of retro goodness this time with golden Axe. Again check here for the details on visuals and such. Sega Genesis Classics. If you want A quit run down tho, Looks good, could look original, your call. Awhile back I called the Xbox version the definitive version of Golden Axe. I have no changed my mind, this is it. With the option to make it look how you choose and the controls feeling amazing. Give this one a shot, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Columns (Sega Genesis Classics)

download

By now you guys know the routine, if not check here. Sega Genesis Classics. Columns itself is an old-fashioned puzzle game where you match 3 colors to get rid of them and score points, hit the top and its game over.

While even when it released it was standard the game was a ton of fun and this hasn’t changed at all I am happy to say. The game also as you would imagine gets slightly harder as time goes on, which is also quite normal for the genre as a whole. Aside from that there isn’t much to say about the game, puzzle fans will be happy to add this to the collection. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

State of Decay 2

download

This is one of those games I want to trash and praise at the same time, graphically it looks good but isn’t amazing and the game play is simply fun. You build a community of survivors while you find supplies, usual stuff. Search houses and warehouses and stuff, find food, gas for cars and generators, medicine. Nothing ground breaking but fun. The controls work nice, sort of.

I say sort of because damn these glitches are seriously a pain in the ass. Stuff disappears and reappears at will, you get stuck places, zombies will punch doors that don’t exist then suddenly do. The game has gotten better with updates, but honestly it is so damn frustrating to play at times. I don’t even bother with the online features most of the time. after all the issues. The game is fun, one example is early on one of my neighbors Mark and his friend Tom needed my help getting some medicine back. So I decided to help, and as we get them back these to robbers open fire. As they die I take this chance to put a bullet in the back of Marks head. I report Marks demise back to Tom, but I tell him the other guys killed Mark and offer to let him join my community. Not wanting to be left alone he takes me up on that. I now how Tom, their meds and a bunch of supplies.

This may seem pretty dishonest, but I thought it was whats best for my group. These are the types of decisions you can make, tho I am not sure you are SUPPOSED to make. The best way tho to experience this game however is through game pass, until this game is fixed tho I can’t recommend buying this one. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Phantasy Star 4 Sega Genesis Classics

download (2)

This one is an all time favorite of mine, so I was always going to be harsh on this one and I have actually reviewed it before as you can see Phantasy Star 4. So you can see, I enjoy it. So if you want to know more about the game itself feel free to click there. This is just a short how does this version hold up.

Just like the rest of the Genesis Classics, you get to choose if you want the original look or a cleaner more modern look. Also on rare occasion you will hear a sort of weird distortion to the sound, that was also in the original game, these games haven’t really been changed from the originals they have just been emulated. If you haven’t checked this game out and enjoy RPG’s, now is the perfect time. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Pokemon Core Game in 2019 for the Switch

For many of us we are already away of the announcement of Lets go Eevee and Pikachu Pokemon for the Switch, Officially. This however was quickly confirmed to NOT be the core Pokemon game mentioned in the past at E3. That however is coming in 2019 according to theverge. As a fan of Pokemon this is great news to me, not because I don’t like the look of the let’s go games, I think they look great. I am just looking forward to more Pokemon. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Sonic Spinball Sega Genesis Classic

download

Sonic Spinball has always been an oddball Sonic game. It fit by the way, he rolls into a ball, travels really fast and jumps really high. But does it really work? In short, yea. The graphics were never great, but like pretty much every game in the collection you have the option to make it look better than ever or the original. The sound also has a very old-fashioned pinball machine feel to it.

The only real issue with this game is that is very niche. It is pinball in 2018, most people have no interest. The game is pretty fun tho, if not a bit old-fashioned. It is very much worth a shot, but don’t expect the usual Sonic game. You will still be collecting Chaos Emeralds however as well as rings. The basics of Sonic are still there for fans of the series as are the characters as well. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Two Point Hospital (preview)

Here we are, Two Point Hospital, another spiritual successor to Theme Hospital. Theme Hospital was much like theme park, a wacky simulation game where you ran a business. This time you treated weird illnesses from guys that walked around dressed like Elvis to bloated heads which by the way you popped with a needled and then blew back up like a ball. So how similar is Two Point Hospital?

That is about 10 minutes of game play, there is a guy walking around with a light-bulb as a head. No he doesn’t have a good idea, that is what he is there to get cured. Unlike Project Hospital which also looks amazing this one takes a more silly route than the more serious sim route. Both look great and honestly I fully indent to get both. There is plenty of room for both, but I actually think we will see Two Point Hospital on console. Nothing has been said or even hinted at for this, but it is backed by Sega and theme hospital was an original PlayStation game so if that happens remember I called it. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
