If you did not know, they released 2 NEW SONIC GAMES: Sonic Mania and Project Sonic. Let us first talk about Project Sonic. First off, Project Sonic is NOT a sequel to Sonic Generations! This is a new story with new levels and everything. The first thing that you might notice is 2 huge egg robots destroying a city....the city in my opinion looks like Soleanna. This is all some theories and all, but it might look like there trying to surround the story around Sonic 06....and if you didn't know, Sonic 06 is considered on the worst games in this generation. It was a VERY promising game that never got finished. But for years I would hope they would TRY to do something about it and it looks here that they might be trying to surround the game around sonic 06. I dont know yet, but we will find out soon. Now, Sonic looks of course bad-ass as always! The running sequence looks very similar to Sonic Generations gameplay and I LOVE SONIC GENERATIONS. And then Classic Sonic shows up and I really don't see why he is in this game. I do hope that you can play as other characters like Tails, Knuckles, Shadow and more. There really wasn't much shown, but the best part of the trailer was the beginning. SONIC TEAM is making this game, so expect a good game! The last sonic game, Sonic Boom really hurt SEGA, so lets hope this game helps Sonic get back up. The trailer is below:
Now on to Sonic Mania. I'm a huge fan of the 2D Sonic games and have been waiting for a new 2D (Not 2.5D) Sonic game...AND THEY DID IT. Sonic Mania looks amazing! You can play remastered old levels and new levels. The new levels have beautiful design and there is alot to look at! And they added a new drop dash mechanic, where you automatically spin dash when you drop to the ground! And you can play as 3 characters: Sonic, TAILS and KNUCKLES. You can finally play as other characters than just sonic. I love Sonic, but doing this will give the game more replay value. I do hope that there is a bit of a story to this game and not just levels put together though. There didn't seem to be anything about a story so, we will see what they do. The trailer for the game is below:
Both games are coming out next year 2017, Sonic Mania in the Spring and Project Sonic in the Winter. I am so ready to start playing sonic again. I beat sonic generations probably almost 100 times. I hope you enjoyed the review and trust me, I will be posting more on these games when new trailers are released! Thanks for reading!!

I'm back! I have been working on practicing game design and haven't had the time to post anything. But I'm posting now because something has got my attention... game review sites has been giving Overwatch SO MUCH PRAISE. it's gotten 9 or 10 out of 10!!! WHY?? This game is at MAX a 7 out to 10. Let me explain why. Lets go over the good things. There are A LOT of characters to choice from! Theres way more then I expected at release. The level design is AMAZING! People complain that the maps have no places to snipe (AKA camp) and I hate games that add ways to just sit and camp. So good job on that. Now let's start on the bad. The game is OVERPRICED. For a game that only has 3 game modes and repetitive gameplay $60 is not worth it for this game. The story behind the game is stupid. And yes, it is a FPS and it really doesn't focus on it, but from all the YouTube videos that they made, it makes no sense why there fighting each other! Its crazy and they should have came up with a better story. Escort mode has to be the WORST game mode in the game. And for the OW fanboys and girls, listen before you rage. I'm taking about if your team has to escort the car. It is HARD AS HELL. All the enemy team has to do is go near it, and it stops! And at times you never get the car HALF WAY!! And what's worse is that when you die, it spawns you back in the spawn hub area, and it takes a while to get back, depending on the map! Another problem is the loot. It is the most useless add on to the game. All you get is new skins and poses, that mean NOTHING! Certain characters in this game are either to weak or to strong. At the beginning of each game, when the other team or your team has to defend the area, people LOVE to camp outside the doors and then KILL ANYTHING that moves out! This game is not a 10 out of 10, it deserves a 6/10. There isn't a lot to do and they still have a lot to fix. These reviews that are giving out perfect 10's are not noticing these problems. And is it wortg $60? NOPE. This game to me should be either $40 or even FREE! There is not a lot of stuff that it should be automatically $60. Not every game needs to be that high. Rachet and Clank was $40 and it had A LOT of content including a story...but that's my opinion. I hope you enjoyed reading!
Batman: Return to Arkham has finally been announced! This new Batman game will be available for PS4, XBOX ONE and PC. The game will have both Arkham Asylum and City remastered in on one disc with EVERY DLC! The game was announced last week with the release date being July 26th, 2016. You can preorder the game now at any retailer who sales games. There are many comparison videos on YouTube showing the difference of the old and the remastered version. For starters it was WAY better lighting and better color. It is in HD also and the characters look more realistic as the hair looks real and not like plastic and also the city and asylum itself has realistic looks. The game is looming AWESOME! If you haven't played the Arkham series before I recommend you to buy this game! Those 2 games are amazing and you won't be wasting any money with the amount of DLC'S that the game have, Arkham City having the most. Thanks for reading!!
If you haven't seen my Twitter a couple of weeks ago, I have decided to make Vanity, originally suppose to be a comic book, into a RPG. I am planning to start working on it this summer using RPG Maker MV. I hope to have screenshots by the end of Summer and start a kick starter around that time as well. Currently I have all main characters thought of and there story in the game. The game will be in all kinds of places, as your taking down Hubs and recruiting more women into Vanity. I have also started working on Skills and perks. The Skills and Perks are for characters and weapons. And yes, I do plan to add a lot of perks to weapons. I also plan to add Visual drawing cutscenes if I can to the game. The official release for the RPG will be next year Early Spring 2017. I will have more info in about 4 weeks.
Hey everyone! Jack The Master here bringing a small update on my end instead of Ilijah's. I'm going to start using Unreal Engine 4 here soon and I'm assuming Ilijah (Novian Knight) will follow suet soon. I'm going to be writing a script for my game that I'm planning right now and maybe publish that later. I'll keep y'all up to date and make sure to follow me on Twitter!
Just yesterday, someone has leaked more info on the unannounced upcoming Batman: Arkham Asylum and City remastered collection. An Italian magazine had a image of the game box cover design. By the looks of it, they will not be remaking Arkham Origins, only Arkham Asylum and City. Rocksteady and Warner Brothers has not officially announced the game yet, which is surprising since you can now also pre-order the game. People are hoping for a official announcement soon. Now let's talk about hopes for the remastered game. I really hope the gliding is improved in both games. Compared to the Arkham Knight smooth gliding, I think you can tell the difference between Arkham City and Arkham Knight. Also, I hope that they add more skins for Arkham Asylum. And last, this is something that COULD WORK if it's planned right. A multiplayer mode for Arkham City. Compared to Arkham Origins (AWFUL), Arkham City has enough crews to play as. You could be in Jokers, Two-Face's, Penguin's, Tyger's or the assassins. And then they fight for territory or just for blood. That would be freaking AMAZING. But that's what I think. Otherwise, I hope that the remastered collection is just like the old amazing game that we loved 8 years ago. Thanks for reading!
I finally had a chance to play the Overwatch beta and it was great! The game has 21 amazing characters, all with different abilities. So lets start from the beginning. When you install the game you can play the tutorial, which tells you how to use abilities and more. Once you finish it you can start paying in public matches or play against the AI. The first thing that you notice when you get to character screen, on the right side there is tips that will pop up and tell you what you have too much of, what you need and what you don't need. An example is that in one of the matches we had 4 snipers and then the rest is offense. On the side it would tell you that you have too much snipers and you need more defense. That is VERY helpful as this game makes you have to work together to win. There is also difficulties for each character. Some characters are a bit harder to use, while some are extremely easy. Once you pick your character, the game starts and you start killing and capturing or escorting your objective. Now there was a problem...some characters have A LOT more health than others. I do think that some characters need to either have higher health or the big guys get some of there health reduced a bit. Otherwise, the game is balanced well, the maps are visually amazing to look at and was fun to play! The controls are simple and the character animations and voices are great! This game has the potential to be very successful! If you haven't played the beta yet, you should definitely go on your PC or Console and download it right away! Installing the game does take a while though, but while you wait, you can go to the training facility and play the characters as they download! My rating for the Overwatch beta is a 9/10! It's great, but the characters health needs to be balanced out more. Thanks for reading!
