Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu Review
I take a closer look at The Mandalorian and Grogu and why I have such mixed feelings about the movie. On one hand, it’s an entertaining Star Wars adventure with plenty of fun action, familiar characters, and some great moments. But on the other hand, the story feels incredibly average, the movie...
-
Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord Review
The Disney era of Star Wars has been hit or miss, but one thing that rarely disappoints is its animated series. Maul: Shadow Lord continues that trend, delivering a compelling story centered on one of the franchise's greatest villains. Rather than redeeming its antagonist or rewriting established...

The Outer Worlds 2 Review: Did It Live up to the Hype?
I finally got my hands on one of my most anticipated games of 2025: The Outer Worlds 2. As a big fan of the first game, I went in hoping the sequel would expand on everything that made the original so memorable. While The Outer Worlds 2 delivers an overall enjoyable experience, some elements feel...

I Have Mixed Feelings About Battlefield 6
Despite having a strong release, Battlefield 6 has struggled to keep up. The player base has dropped drastically as EA/DICE struggle to come out with quality content. It's a shame because I love the feel of this game as it reminds me of the Battlefield games I grew up with. However, I have mixed...
-
Dying Light: The Beast Is Incredible
Dying Light: The Beast is another fantastic entry in the franchise. The Beast continues to offer one of the best gameplay formulas out there. The combat is great. It’s as gory and as gruesome as it’s ever been. The game is just as fun when you aren’t chopping zombie heads off thanks to the…

Mafia: The Old Country Falls Just Short of Being Great
Mafia: The Old Country is a game that looks great but is lacking in content. It’s a classic single-player narrative experience that offers a fun story. But the storytelling and gameplay elements are limited due to the game’s length. I enjoyed my time with the title, but I was expecting a lot more...
-
Avowed Review: It's Better Than You Think
Avowed is a solid game. The game features fantastic combat which is broken up into multiple systems. The world looks amazing and it is a semi open world game that gives you the right amount of content. The story may not be the best, but the gameplay will help you get through it. This game is…

Corporate Greed Has Ruined the Game Industry
I think it is safe to say corporate greed has killed the game industry. It is no longer fun to play games. Hell, it isn't even fun to make games. The game industry is all about money now and it's less about the fun experience we used to have while gaming. Every game in every game genre is over...
-
Andor Season 2: Some of the Finest Storytelling in Star Wars
I really enjoyed the second season of Andor despite not being the biggest fan of the first. Andor features some of the best storytelling and acting we have ever seen in this franchise. Andor gives us a mature and gritty story which is something I have wanted in Star Wars for a long time. The…

It's Time for a Change at Lucasfilm
It appears Kathleen Kennedy’s retirement is looming. Honestly, it can’t come soon enough. Star Wars is dying, and major changes need to be made to save the franchise. There needs to be leadership changes made to save the franchise. Kathleen Kennedy needs to go. Lucasfilm needs a new president.…

Star Wars Outlaws: A Wasted Opportunity
Star Wars Outlaws was a disappointment. I think the game had some really good ideas that never came to fruition. It is yet another typical open world game that is beautifully designed, but lacks variety in gameplay elements. The game is repetitive and the storytelling is weak, especially near the...
-
Skeleton Crew Review: A Show Deserving of More Attention
I really enjoyed Skeleton Crew. I think it is a very good show. It's a fun adventure show that is perfect for getting younger people interested in Star Wars. Sadly, the show received poor reception due to the current state of the franchise. It sucks, but this will continue to happen until Disney...
-
Black Ops 6: I Have Mixed Feelings About It
Black Ops 6 is pretty good. The campaign is the most controversial in the Black Ops series, but it is still a solid experience. Multiplayer is solid and the additions of the omni-movement system is huge. Zombies hasn’t been this fun in years. I just wish the developers would be more creative by...
-
Star Wars Will Never Be the Same
Star Wars used to be a fun, emotional, and unforgettable experience, filled with lore, legacy, and stories that stood the test of time. But under Disney’s reign, the franchise has lost its way. In this video, I share my frustrations with the current direction of Star Wars and why I feel…

Should the Halo Show Get a Second Chance?
The Halo show has been cancelled after just 2 seasons. The show was a frustrating disappointment. The writers chose to ignore the source material and the storytelling decisions made were offensive to the franchise. The Halo universe is very interesting and it should have been very easy to make a...
-
The Acolyte Review: More Disappointing Storytelling
I am extremely disappointed in The Acolyte show. This was another flawed and controversial Star Wars show. The writing was bad, filled with plot holes, and left me more confused than anything else. I think this is the worst Star Wars show to come out. It would be nice if Disney and Lucasfilm…
more -
The Fallout Show Was Excellent
The Fallout show exceeded my expectations. This show can be put on the very short list of successful adaptions. The creators of the show respected the lore and various themes of the game franchise. Both the plot and characters had great development that really paid off by the time you get to the...
-
Can Xbox Be Saved at This Point?
Xbox is in the worst state it could possibly be. Who would have thought they would be struggling this bad just a year after purchasing all those game studios. It’s shocking to see Xbox close studios that developed successful games and it’s truly unfortunate to see so many people lose their jobs....
-
Tales of the Empire Review: Don't Listen to the Negativity
Tales of the Empire was solid addition to the Tales series that Disney has created for Star Wars. Both sets of stories were interesting and emotional. It was nice to see the perspective of the bad guys for a change. You can argue that there are other characters far more worthy of having stories...
-
The Bad Batch Season 3 Review: The Perfect Way to End an Era
The Bad Batch series is officially over. I would say it was a successful show. Season 3 was not the best, but the finale was awesome. The storytelling in the animated shows is always great. The growth of characters and their relationships with each other was very good. This was a fun show to…
more -
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: Is This the Best Zack Snyder Can Do?
After watching Rebel Moon Part 2, I think it’s fair to say that this project is a disappointment. I expected so much more from Zack Snyder. He hyped up his project by claiming it was going to be the next Star Wars and it failed to hit the mark. It didn’t have to beat Star Wars, but it could have...
-
Gears of War: How to Create a GREAT Franchise
The first Gears of War game was awesome. It introduced us to a brand-new world. People need to remember that Epic Games was great before they created Fortnite. They created a unique story and gameplay elements that made Gears a must play game. Memorable characters, guns, and themes helped Gears...
-
This Documentary Ruined My Childhood Television Nostalgia
Quiet on Set was tough to watch, but it was an important watch. We need to know about what truly went on behind the scenes at Nickelodeon. It's sad and frustrating to learn about all the ways people were mistreated and basically tortured. This documentary is a good example of why we there are a…

Who Is Star Wars for Today? Kids or Adults?
Star Wars has existed for almost 50 years. The age range for the fandom is wide at this point. So with fans of all ages nowadays, who is Star Wars intended for? It's always been for kids apparently, but should the focus be on kids today now that many fans are older and would like to see more…

Halo Season 2 Review: Is It Any Better?
There was some improvement in the second season of the Halo show. It was much more interesting to watch and just like in the first season, the battles were very good. However, the creators doubled down on changing up the lore and focusing on characters that should not matter as much in this…
more -
Are Classic Single Player/Co-Op Games Dying?
It’s becoming increasingly frustrating for fans of both single player and co-op games. The increasing popularity in multiplayer games and live service has led to less single player and narrative based games. And gone are the days of playing through Halo and Gears of War campaigns with your…
more -
Open World Games Need to Change
Open world games need to change. They become too big and repetitive. Developers need to focus more on quality over content. Random points of interest and meaningless collectibles need to stop being flooded throughout the map in these big games. Open world games today look gorgeous, and I don’t…
more -
Is Star Wars the Most Mismanaged Franchise Ever?
I find myself frustrated with the Star Wars brand yet again and the cancellation of EA’s Mandalorian game. It is mind boggling to me that Disney and game developers don’t seem to care about making more Star Wars games. There are so many great ideas for games to make in this universe. The same can...
-
The State of the Gaming Industry in 2024
I have mixed feelings about the gaming industry right now. I am the proud owner of an Xbox Series S and a PS5. So, I could play almost any game I want right now. However, the industry seems to be struggling to. AAA games are either flopping or disappearing. It looks like we will have to wait away...
-
Brothers in Arms: One of the Best WW2 Shooter Franchises
I look back at another one of my favorite game franchises, Brothers in Arms. This was a fantastic WW2 franchise that featured great tactical gameplay. Many people grew tired of the oversaturation of WW2 games back in the early 2000s. However, Brothers in Arms was the one WW2 franchise that stood...
-
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Is Actually Underappreciated
I want to look back at Cold War because it never got the love it deserved. It may not be one of the best games in the franchise, but it definitely has the most unique campaign. The vibes of this game are great thanks to the mix of 1980s culture and Cold War elements. I appreciated the old school...
-
Hollywood Continues to Mess With Old Media and Lore
I need to rant about some of my pet peeves in media today. Modern day show runners and video game developers have been making some frustrating decisions lately regarding the censoring of content and questionable storytelling decisions. I also think these actions are a disservice to the original...
-
Looking Back at the Medal of Honor Franchise
The Medal of Honor series is one of the best shooter franchises ever made. It is actually on the list for best selling video game franchises. Medal of Honor helped define the first person shooter genre going back to the 90s. The franchise made a name for itself back in the simpler times of…

Revenge of the Sith Is the Best Star Wars Movie
In my opinion, Revenge of the Sith is the best Star Wars movie ever created. The movie is filled with thrilling moments and many emotional ones as well. Some of the greatest lightsaber duels can be found in this movie. Episode 3 is the perfect conclusion to not only the sequel trilogy, but to the...
-
Star Wars News Roundup: Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Mandalorian Movie, and Ahsoka Season 2
Stars Wars has kicked off 2024 with a bunch of headlines. Some of them are good and others have stirred up controversy yet again. Drama surrounds the Rey movie again for two reasons. The first is due to the backlash of an old quote from Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, the director of the film. A rumor...
-
Rebel Moon: Part One Review - Is It the Next Star Wars?
Rebel Moon had the potential to be really good. However, the story in part 1 is rushed and Zack Snyder took too many ideas from other movies. The movie tries to be original, but it falls short of being something very special and unique. I enjoyed the movie more than others and I do like Kora, the...
-
Why Andor Is Overrated
It's time I give my full thoughts on the first season of Andor. Andor is a really good show. The production quality is high for this show. However, I do think it is overrated for a few reasons. I won't lie, I am a little petty when it comes to this show. That's because I don't understand why…

Bethesda and Their Fan Boys Are Embarrassing
It's been known for a while know that Starfield is a disappointing game. It failed to hit the mark for many gamers who were looking forward to playing it. The sad situation has gotten worse over the past few months due to Bethesda giving delusional responses to user reviews. The Bethesda fan boys...
-
Fortnite and GTA Are Taking Gaming to the Next Level
It’s been amazing to watch GTA and Fortnite grow into what they are today. Both games have stood the test of time and have gotten better and better over the years. We always wonder what makes a game next-gen. We have been waiting for that true next-gen experience to come out on PS5 and Xbox. But...
-
The Order: 1886 DESERVES a Sequel
The Order: 1886 is a forgotten game from the PS4 era. I don't think I ever played a game that was so good in terms of quality but lacked so much due to weird decisions made by the developers. The game features a unique story and setting. It looks pretty good for a game that came out in 2015. The...
-
Taika Waititi Should NOT Make a Star Wars Movie
Star Wars is still trying to figure out how to bounce back from recent failures. The promotion of Dave Filoni is a step in the right direction. However, more must be done. The franchise needs to make new movies. It needs to get serious again. We need a new story that can drive the next era of…

Dave Filoni Gets Control of Star Wars!
Dave Filoni has been promoted to Chief Creative Officer! I love this move for Lucasfilm. Dave deserves the opportunity to sit at the table when it comes to developing new content for Star Wars. I want someone who loves Star Wars and is well educated in what the franchise is about. Dave Filoni is...
-
Starfield: A Galaxy Full of Missed Opportunity
After 92 hours, I completed all the main stuff in Starfield. It was a long journey that I won’t remember fondly. While my total playtime was increasing, my love for the game was decreasing. Ultimately, Starfield is a lackluster game. It’s big and bloated. It truly feels like a Bethesda game. That...
-
Modern Warfare 3's Campaign is a MASSIVE Disappointment
Modern Warfare 3's campaign is pretty bad. It's a quick and bland experience. You can definitely tell that this was rushed. There is no excuse for this campaign to be so bad. They already had the blueprint for the story and it should have been a cakewalk using the legendary characters from the...
-
Black Ops 1 and 2: The Most Creative COD Campaigns EVER
There have been many single-player stories in the Call of Duty Franchise. The story that stands out among them all is the campaigns from Black Ops 1 and 2. The story in these two games was awesome. The most creative storytelling in Call of Duty's history comes from Black Ops 1 and 2. Rather than...
-
Looking Back at The Original Modern Warfare Trilogy
The original Modern Warfare trilogy put Call of Duty on the map for good. Yes, things took off for them because of multiplayer, but their campaigns were also good. The Modern Warfare trilogy featured great storytelling and shocking moments. There were also memorable characters as well. The story...

The Old World War 2 Call of Duty Games Were the BEST
This is part 1 of a 3 part series where I will go back and talk about classic Call of Duty campaigns. I kick things off by taking a look back at some of the earliest campaigns in the franchise. Back when Call of Duty was known mostly as a World War 2 shooter. While the controls and graphics don't...

Modern Warfare 3: I Have Conflicting Thoughts
I'm still haven't decided if I will be purchasing MW3. I was leaning towards no, but then I played the Beta. The beta was awesome. Call of Duty's gameplay gets better and better every year. I am so down to play on the OG MW2 maps. I'm a core multiplayer fan though and I am worried that Warzone,...
-
What if Disney Handled Star Wars Differently?
Sometimes I wonder where Star Wars would be today if Disney's tenure didn't start off so poorly. Maybe Star Wars would still be universally loved today. I've been thinking about this lately. I have come up with a few thoughts on some scenarios that could have made things better at the beginning…

We Need More Games Like Battlefield 1
Battlefield 1 was such a great game. It is my favorite game in the franchise and it's one of my favorite shooters overall. The game was near perfect in all aspects. The campaign was new and unique. The multiplayer was great and the live service was actually really nice in this game. Let me…
