Rapid Reviews: VR Games Round 1.

-
Image
This is the first of my "Rapid Reviews" Posts. In these I will write quick Reviews of 3 - 7 games or so. This is round one of VR games.  I will note the version of the game I am reviewing as well as there are differences between platforms.   (Execution will be rated on ports) SUPERHOT: VR (SteamVR)  Superhot VR was one of the first SteamVR games I got. It's also one of the older games. It's also one of the best shooters I've ever played. Superhot VR is a blend of Puzzle and FPS. The premise of the game is that time only moves when you move. This is amazing in VR. Instead of making split second decisions like in the movies, each action is a carefully thought-out move.  The game is spread out over multiple challenge-like levels. After clearing all of these you unlock endless mode. Endless mode provides a fun and arcadey experience. Superhot VR obviously focuses on gameplay, as there is essentially no soundtrack, and the plot is not the best. However, the gameplay an...

Secret Level All episodes review.

-
Image
Overview Secret Level is a 15-episode animated gaming anthology series from Prime Video. I've watched all episodes.  Secret Level's episodes range from incredible to downright awful. In my opinion, it is unfair to judge Secret Level as a whole as certain episodes are way better than the rest. But overall, each episode is either a hit or miss. Here are micro-reviews of every episode. ranked worst to best. 15: Spelunky: Tally     Spelunky is easily the worst episode. It's a 7-minute short that is so rushed you can't even tell what's going on. I never even noticed the soundtrack, there is no plot whatsoever. And most of the episode is taken up by a literal death montage. Aside from a 2-minute scene where the only 2 characters talk. other than that, the episode is basically a blur. It's got no plot, a disappointing soundtrack and is horribly executed. The episode spends so much time trying to explain the roguelike "Runs" that it can't do anything else ...

Top Five: Video Game Systems

  This is the first of 2 new post formats! Top Five and What Makes!  Top Five is simply a top five list and what makes is where I will do breakdowns about what makes certain games so good. So here are my top 5 video game consoles!' Honorable Mentions: Sony PSP, Xbox 360 and Nintendo 3DS These 3 systems didn't quite make my top 5. But they are all still great systems. The 360 was ahead of its time and had multiple masterpieces released for it. Such as: Halo 3, The Orange Box and Rock Band. The PSP was overshadowed by the Game Boy. But it still is an amazing system. I still use mine! It had some great games such as Sonic Rivals and Mega Man X: Maveric Hunter. The PSP used disks and 3d models and a digital store while the GBA was using sprites and cartridges. And I may have used my 3DS more than any of these other systems! Number 5: Xbox Series X. This may be controversial, But I love the series X. It was the first Xbox I played on since the 360. The Series X pushed the boundarie...

Sonic The Hedgehog 3 review.

-
Image
    Overview. Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Is an adaptation of the best Sonic game ever made. Sonic Adventure 2. But it does its level best to completely ruin the already phenomenal plotline and focus on the wrong characters. S cenes range from amazing to unbelievably awful.  Plot. As the source material's plot is amazing, it will come as no surprise that Sonic 3 has the strongest plot out of all 3 films. The story follows the darker themes of the Sonic universe. however, there are some weak points. Shadow Escapes from G.U.N. As a huge fan of the game this film is based off of, I was excited for this movie the day I heard it's release date. But that kind of ruined it for me. If you are looking for a 1-1 recreation of the game, you will not get that here. It's just not nearly faithful enough. I have seen multiple adaptations that were not super faithful such as Unreal Tournament: XAN from Secret Level. But most of them still kept to the original format. Sonic 3 has multiple comple...
