I've been playing Battlefield since the original, 1942, in 2002. Over 20 years of non-stop playing this franchise. I've played and loved every game in each of their own ways. Chose Battlefield Vietnam over my high school girlfriend. Bought an Xbox 360 to play JUST Bad Company 1 & 1943. Upgraded my PC countless times to experience all of Battlefield in its glory. And recently struggled with all the trash talking about BFV. I absolutely adore this franchise.

Yes, I will admit DICE (and EA) has had their ups and downs with the franchise over the years but in the end, I've always held Battlefield as my number 1 multiplayer experience. And 2042 is absolutely no different. Sure, I am not a huge fan of the "faced" non-class specialists. I don't feel like increasing the player count to 128 and removing alot of the destruction was a smart idea. But at the end of the day, it is still Battlefield. Soldiers fighting Tanks. Helicopters blowing Jeeps up. Jet fighters whizzing across the air. It is still unbelievable EPIC. No franchise can compete in my eyes.

And thankfully, in the last year, DICE has made MASSIVE improvements to the game. The game feels and plays great! The latest 3 maps (now 5) are truly excellent (including the reworks), classes are coming back to an extent (came back!), a load of weapons & vehicles are available now, and it has been greatly optimize. I am very impressed. It does suck it had to START this way but right now, with Season 3 (now 5), the game is closer to being a true Battlefield 4 sequel then ever before. I have no doubt if you happen to pick up the game now (or play it on Game Pass) you’ll have an absolute blast.

Welcome home Battlefield. It is good to have you back! See you on the ‘field! Still going strong many years later!

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is exactly what Marvel's Avengers should have been last year. More inline with the wonderful Spider-Man games from Insomniac. GotG is a tight story-driven single player experience with excellent dialog, awesome graphics, and fun gameplay but focuses more on the adventure then action which some people might not like but I absolutely love it. Gives me slight Mass Effect 1 vibes but way funnier. I can whole heartily recommend Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, do not let this game slip passed you if you are a fan of the MCU or comic book games. I am Groot!

Half-Life: Alyx is by far one of the most impressive VR game so far. It is wonderful to be back in the Half-Life universe. Wonderful graphics, awesome gun-play, and the classic music paired with some lovable characters. Only thing is missing is a true melee system. Hopefully next game will introduce that! So, wake up, Ms. Vance... wake up and... smell the ashes.

What the hell was that? Might be the strangest hour in my life. Fast, pretty, runs great, but odd... I have no clue what I just played.

STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order is the very best Star Wars game in years! I really like what they have recently done with Battlefront II but Jedi: Fallen Order is something special. A wonderful mixture of gameplay elements from the industries best games like Uncharted, Dark Souls, Tomb Raider, and even Metroid! Enjoyable story tied nicely within the time period of 4-5 years after Revenge of the Sith including a bit of Clone War & Rogue One as well. Great game, fun classic story, very likable cast, beautiful graphics, and awesome lightsaber combat! Finally, for the first time in YEARS, I highly suggest we should support EA and Respawn and let them know that YES, we do want more single player Star Wars games! Hoping for some extra content in the near future! This is the way, I have spoken.

This is a BIG ass game. I am almost 40 hours in at this point and barely scratch the surface. It runs very similar to AC: Origins; getting average of 60/70 fps on my machine at maxed out graphics (specs in my profile).

The story is a lot of fun, little light hearted here and there (especially in side quests) and then a solid dose of oh crap moments. Pretty typical story telling like in previous AC games. The world is absolutely breath taking, each location looks top notch. Combat is slightly upgraded from last years, with a new solid upgrades to Stealth and with the return of full blown open world boat combat similar to AC3/Black Flag/Rogue. And a lot of little issues I had with Origins has been removed like the slick new talent tree and the amount of new abilities you can unlock and getting new gear and equipment is fun!

Overall Assassin's Creed Odyssey is great step in the right direction from last years amazing soft reboot of Origins. Let's hope that Ubisoft can continue with this amazing trend in all their future installments. So far they are 2 for 2! THIS IS SPARTA! :)

So Ubisoft decided to take a year off and with that said, they made a masterpiece. This is EXACTLY what the Assassin's Creed franchise needed. A soft reboot. Its fun, beautiful, filled with heart, and non stop brutal action. Runs like a dream on my machine and can't put it down. Can't wait to keep on exploring Egypt! Let's all hope that Ubisoft can continue with this amazing trend in all their future installments.

If Overwatch is Street Fighter, then LawBreakers is Mortal Kombat. LawBreakers is a fast paced arena hero shooter. Its truly a mix between Quake, Unreal, Tribes, and Overwatch. The characters are very different then your standard hero shooter but each one is interesting enough to try. With easy to play, hard to master gameplay, your staple "arena" game modes, and enough unlocks to keep you busy... I recommend giving it a whirl! You will also be supporting Cliffy B. and his new team over at Boss Key Productions. If your looking to itch that familiar but different scratch, even if its a little old school, you can do a lot worse then trying LawBreakers!

Max is back and ready for action!! This a great sequal to an amazing classic series. The graphics are top notch and the action is even crazier. I totally recommend Max!

Dragon Age: Origins is one of my most favorite games of all times. I absolutely love the lore and the characters, I wholly recommend this game and the sales usually make this game a steal! Pick it up ASAP... but only if you like amazing games.
