Secret Level: Mega Man: START episode review.

Image
  Overview As a longtime fan of the Mega Man franchise, the only reason I heard of Secret Level was Mega Man. After getting my hopes up I was greeted with a 7- minute short that seems like a new episode comes out next week. Plot The plot is very simple. Dr. Light is running through his lab holding a tablet that is playing a news broadcast saying that his robots are out of control. Rock is working on something, and Dr. Light asks him to help him activate Bomb Man. Bomb Man Rock then says he could potentially fight against the robot masters (The name Metal Man is mentioned) And Light tells him that he made Rock to help in the lab. Then a small spider robot jumps from out of nowhere (Presumably one of Dr. Wilys) And hacks Bomb Man who then attacks Rock and Light. Rock is knocked to the ground and combines multiple lab tools to create an ice gun to freeze Bomb Man who then explodes. Rock saves Light and then rock is attacked by another spider robot and then for absolutely no reason he ...

SECRET LEVEL: Unreal Tournament: XAN Episode Review.

Image
  Pre-Opinion As someone who has never played Unreal Tournament (I was always a Quake guy.) This was still the coolest looking episode. Out of all the games in Secret Level I've only ever played Mega Man and DnD. But I went with UT first and I was not disappointed. Plot The episode begins with a Liandri corporation mining group booting up a Mech team. One green robot fails its startup process and must reboot. A nearby miner starts whacking the green robot with a wrench. This damages the robot and sort of unlocks his free will. Over time we see the green robot (Xan) Witness the Liandri corporation miners kill and damage the other robots. And Xan survives each workday. Until one day he decides to take action. Xan attacks the miner holding the controls for all the other robots and they fight back. The Arena of the Unreal Tournament. Xan and his mechanical allies destroy the mining outpost but are captured shortly after. We then see that Xan copied the robot control code and is able to...

Secret Level Needs to Succeed

  Amazon's new animated gaming anthology series drops on December 10th. As a die-hard Mega Man fan, I cannot wait to see what they came up with. But there's another thing about secret level. If it does well and gets more people to play the games it features (Well... Besides Concord) Then more game companies will be interested in tv adaptations. Secret Level is interesting. It showcases 15 games. each game will have an episode. Some I know. (Mega Man, Unreal Tournament, Pac-Man) Others I've heard of (Warhammer 40k, Sifu) and some...are...interesting... (Concord) But after Fallout it seems like Prime is going all in on gaming. With Fallout season 2 on the way. A new Mass Effect series and a Madden documentary Prime seems like they want to reach gamers. And I REALLY want this to work. Why you ask? Before making this series, the creators made a number of gaming trailers for games such as BioShock Infinite and Batman Arkham City. But they also made a 4 season Netflix show called...

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Multiplayer Review.

Image
This is a review for Black Ops 6 Multiplayer ONLY. I have not played the campaign and most of my playtime was in the beta version. There will be no plot section due to this fact. Pre-Opinion Cover Art I only played CoD one from 2003. Never played another CoD game. But when I went into the Xbox summer direct looking for Fallout and Doom news, I found myself picking Black Ops 6 for best in show. I have NEVER wanted to play a game this much since Titanfall 2, Black Mesa and Half Life Alyx. So, when the beta was announced I jumped at the chance to play. Gameplay Black Ops 6's gameplay is amazingly fun. The guns are fun to play around with. You keep trying each one until you find your favorite. I like the XM4 Assault Rifle. I'll break down some of the modes individually. And then talk about Gunsmith, Operators and the look of the game. Kill Order My favorite mode. it's a classic deathmatch where the first team to 150 points wins. But there's a catch. each team has an HVT or ...

The WORST Gaming Company Mistakes.

Image
Sometimes I get really angry when a game developer or publisher does something REALLY stupid. These are the top 5 WORST mistakes that these companies made.  Honorable Mention: Team Cherry: turning Hollow Knight Silksong into the next Half-Life 3. When Summer Games Fest started, I think all Hollow Knight fans were holding their breath. All we have gotten on this game is random teasers, concept art and pranks. not to mention delayed release dates. Sounds like 2 games: Metroid Prime 4 and Half-Life 3! Team Cherry. PLEASE GIVE US A RELEASE DATE.  5: Nintendo: Charging us 60$ for games with awful graphics and 1 to 1 remakes of WII U titles. Good grief. Nintendo needs to work on this. There were 3 things I wanted to put here but I settled on this. I get that you have to make money on selling games BUT 60$?! Nintendo also makes us pay EXTRA to play Splatoon which is my personal favorite. The Switch also is pretty horrible with graphics. I'm surprised you could run DOOM: Eternal witho...

  In this post I will make a tier list and rate EVERY SINGLE shooter game I've ever played for a substantial amount of time. I will add titles in the future after I have played them. All these games, I have either beaten or played for more than 3 hours.  Here is a basic list of the tiers. Read individual columns for more details on tiers. S Rank: (100 - 91) These games are the best of the best. Every game in this tier is a must-play. Half-Life 2, Halo Reach, Half-Life, Half-Life 2 Episode 2, Titanfall 2, Quake, Black Mesa and Halo 2 A Rank: (90 - 81) Great shooter games that are just not as good as the S-Rank titles. Some have flaws that held them back. Others just barely miss S tier.   Quake II (PC/Xbox), Half-Life Opposing Force, Star Wars: Republic Commando, Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 3, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life: Uplink, Destiny 2, Team Fortress 2, Quake Champions, PREY and Call of Duty 2003.
