Spider-Man 2 Review: Spectacular

I want to get one thing out of the way before I officially start writing the review. I’m a huge Spider-Man fan and I’ve been one going all the way back to his early comic book days. The Marvel Spider-Man movies with Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland, as well as the animated films, Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse served to further solidy my…

Hogwarts Legacy Review: A Magical Adventure

First and foremost, I want to get one imporant thing out of the way. I’m not a Harry Potter fan in the least bit. I haven’t even thought about watching a Harry Potter movie. I guess I just haven’t been interested in watching them for whatever reason. I read a couple of J.K. Rowling’s novels a while back, but its been a long time to be completely honest. I don’t even remember anything because its…

Assassin's Creed Syndicate Review

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate couldn’t have come out at a worse time, especially after the bug and glitch riddled Unity. Unfortunately, Syndicate’s sales numbers took a big hit because of Unity’s disastrous launch. People still had a bit of a sour taste in their mouths, even one year later. It didn’t get much love from AC fans as a result. However, things have changed over the years and people are…

Assassin's Creed Unity Review: Is It Playable in 2023?

I remember when I watched the 2014 E3 cinematic trailer for Assassin’s Creed Unity and being absolutely blown away by what I had seen. It was supposed to be the first Assassin’s Creed game to get released for the newer hardware (at the time). It would also have co-op, which was new for the series. Suffice to say, the hype went through the roof. However, unfortunately, when Unity finally released,…

Assassin's Creed Mirage Review: A Return To Form?

I’ve been a huge fan of the Assassin’s Creed franchise ever since the first game came out back in 2007. While I haven’t beaten every entry in the series, I have finished every title since Black Flag. I love the fact that each game incorporates historical accuracy with some fantasy thrown in as well. I also love the fact that each game takes places in a different country. Assassin’s Creed has…

Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 Review: Revisiting Night City

Cyberpunk 2077 was easily the most anticipated title when it released back in December 10, 2020. The hype went through the roof at the time and developer CD Projekt Red heavily marketed the game with a massive $315 million budget. They included actor Keanu Reeves in the game’s trailer where he portrayed Johnny Silverhand and he even showed up at the E3 2019 event, which sent people into an…

Horizon Forbidden West Review: A Triumphant Sequel!

Back in 2017, Guerrilla Games released Horizon Zero Dawn, which put the player in the shoes of Aloy, a young hunter who was determined to uncover her past and find her place in the Nora Tribe. The world of Horizon Zero Dawn was claimed by mother nature. Roaming its lands were dangerous mechanical machines that Aloy was tasked with hunting and destroying. Combat was challenging and frantic. The…

A Plague Tale Requiem: Absolutely Brilliant!

Back in 2019, a small relatively unknown French developer by the name of Asobo Studio came onto the scene and released A Plague Tale Innocence. The game centered around the Black Plague that took place in France in 1938. In Innocence, the player assumed the role of Amicia De Rune and alongside her, was her younger brother Hugo. Somehow, her brother was responsible for the rat plague that overtook…

The Last of Us Part 1 Remake: Revisiting Naughty Dog's Masterpiece

The Last of Us Part 1 Remake: Revisiting Naughty Dog’s Masterpiece

I think that it’s safe to say, that, by now, most people who own a PS3 or PS4 have played The Last of Us at some point in time, save for a few that haven’t yet experienced Naughty Dog’s 2013 masterpiece. The game is highly acclaimed and praised and for good reason. It introduced two of gaming’s most memorable characters in Joel and Ellie. It left a lasting impact due to it’s emotional and…

Viva La Resistance!

Ubisoft’s long running franchise has taken players to all sorts of locations since its inception, from exotic tropical islands, to a fiction version of the Himalayas, America and even the Stone Age period in 10,000 B.C.. Each entry has presented the player with an open world sandbox to discover and to cause chaos and mayhem in, which started in Far Cry 3. That’s where the series really took off…

Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor: The best Lord of the Rings game ever made!

Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor: The best Lord of the Rings game ever made!

I’ve always been a fan of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings novels and subsequently, the Lord of the Rings movies as well. The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King in particular, are among some of the best films that I’ve had the chance to experience. On the flip side, and when it comes to Lord of the Rings video games, there have only been a few titles that can be…

Assassin's Creed Origins, Ancient Egypt At Its Finest!

Assassin’s Creed Origins, Ancient Egypt At Its Finest!

Ubisoft’s long running franchise had just taken a year off after the release of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate when it came out back in 2015. Many people felt that the series needed a major overhaul when it came to the typical Assassin’s Creed gameplay. They also felt that the series needed to slow down a bit because people were getting tired of the yearly releases that it was known for. Two years…

Spec Ops the Line, Not Your Typical Military Shooter When it comes to military FPS video games it's difficult for any series to stand toe to toe with the juggernaut that's known as Call of Duty.
