Sifu is about a Kung Fu Student of 'Wude' (Martial Morality in Chinese) seeking revenge for the death of their father. They carry special talismans that can revive them if they die in action, and end up learning new moves for their quest. The catch, every time they die, they grow older with age. This game is challenging, to say the least. You will undergo a lot of trial and error while playing this game, which is why I recommend getting in your practices before proceeding. Your skills will absolutely be tested time after time, from a variety of opponents to the bosses. It is the closet game I know that resembles real life street-fighting. When you successfully pull off your moves, it is highly rewarding, and there's constantly ways to improve should you take the time. Highly recommend for any Martial Arts lovers. The story is pretty good too.

When I first saw the trailer for this game, even with Shadow's arrival I wasn't sure if I'd get it. Having gotten the game and played it, I can say it is a worthwhile experience for what is essentially 2 games in 1. I'll summarize my review for Shadow Generations. Darn near everything about it was great and felt very rewarding. The story was the best we've seen yet, the gameplay was absolutely solid with great level design that honestly made it really fun to play. I have no complaints on the main acts. There was a feeling of nostalgia when they decided to bring back the Black Arms, and they certainly stuck the landing with that concept. The challenge acts were indeed challenging, some of them even a tad frustrating. I'm glad I didn't have to S Rank them in order to get the Platinum Trophy. Overall, I had a blast with Sonic x Shadow Generations. Sonic Generations is still good fun but shows its age. Shadow Generations absolutely nailed it. To think I was once optimistic about Sonic Forces.

This was an absolute blast of an experience, definitely a must have for PlayStation 5 owners who enjoy a good ol' classic platformer. Levels were plentiful fun, good challenges laid out, collectibles bring everything together to enhance your experience, the references to other PlayStation IPs just a good. I just can't think of a single bad things or flaw within this game, it is a chef's kiss.

It took me quite a bit to beat this game, but I overall had a Blast with A Crack in Time. The gameplay was great and diverse. From Clank, to Ratchet, to even traversing the depths of space. There were many puzzles and challenges that kept you going and kept you tested, and of course the many weapons within your arsenal. Truly a great game.

This was my first ever Dragon Ball Z game I had touched, and this was how I got into Dragon Ball. It is certainly not the best game, and it has its flaws. The basic combat outside of executing cinematic chains is lacking and gets repetitive after a while, the roster could use a tid bit more characters, and it could use more story cutscenes instead of text boxes to sum up the in-betweens of the story. But for what it's worth, it's a decently good and enjoyable Dragon Ball Game. The music is dope, you got the classic story (Which in my case, was done nicely to get caught up with the basics of Dragon Ball), graphics look great, the cinematic scenes are enjoyable to watch, and the Hero Mode will be the most fun you'll find in this game. While there is plenty I would've wished to be implented within the game to make it better (What is essentially an Epic Rock Paper Scissors fighting game, or Beta Pokken Tournament), I DARE to say that calling this the worst Dragon Ball game there is, is an exaggeration.

I think overall, Sonic and the Black Knight is a pretty good and enjoyable Sonic Game, and the story is alright. I believe Sonic and the Black Knight has the best portrayal of Sonic the Hedgehog to date, and Jason Griffith nailed it... it's a shame this was his last game before he was let go. The sword gameplay backed by your typical "Run to the Finish" is alright, but it can slow you down at certain times until you get later down the line, especially if you use Soul Surge. It's better reserved for Bigger Enemies or Bosses. The side quests are ok but sometimes they can serve as annoyance every once and a while, especially some of the absurdity of the challenge missions. Getting to play as the Knights of the Round Table for the 2nd half is a nice touch, but the way they play can be notorious, Blaze / Percival being the WORST of the bunch sadly. The items that are collected aren't really any useful until you get to the 2nd half of the game where you can change the Knights of the Round Table's weapons outside of the Sacred Swords. The Multiplayer is alright, but it doesn't quite mesh all that well. If you want to play Sonic the Hedgehog and play the inspiring Hero? This is a good game for that, and you'll get some enjoyment out of it.

I think this is a SERIOUSLY good game. If you at least liked the first Transformers film from Micheal Bay, I think you'll find some serious fun out of this one. While this game follows the movie’s plot, it actually alters to accommodate the inclusion of your own Autobot character, who is not within the movie. You can choose from many different vehicle forms upon scanning them AND change up their color palette, and free to roam open worlds for you to do as you see fit including fight random Decepticons. There were a few challlenges and hard missions within the game, but it was overall very fun and I would recommend this game, Decepticon version included. (Matter of fact, out of this game, Revenge of the Fallen, and Dark of the Moon, I'd put this game at the top of the list.) The only real downsides I see are the graphics aren't great, and post-game there isn't all that much to do.

It's overall a decent Transformers game, and there's even some fun to be had just by simply fighting opposing Robots until one of them ends up in the scrap heap, and the story is said to be better than the movie by a little bit. But there are a few downsides to the game. Causing destruction is honestly way too damn easy (Great for Decepticons, horrific for Autobots), vehicle controls are way too loose (Driving a car-based vehicle can be horrendous), depending how well you do you may end up finishing the game in no-time, and action could have been better. The main issue is that there isn't much depth to the game as there could've been to make it something spectacular. I'd recommend this game to anyone who is just looking to have a good Transformers experience and is satisfied with just bashing Deception/Autobot heads. Just don't expect there to be much.

Drawn to Life : The Next Chapter for the Wii for me was quite enjoyable. Compared to the DS Version this game's story doesn't have much going on for it. You just seem to be helping the townsfolk while stopping whatever plan Wilfre has in store. It can be a tad difficult to draw on the Wii Remote, especially if you don't know what it is you're drawing or what the game expects you to draw like. But if you like drawing, 2.5d platformers, you'll find some good fun in this one. Let your imagination and creativity flow as it comes to life

I will not deny that Pokemon Battle Revolution isn't the best of the Colosseum-esk games. But for what it's worth, my gosh is it fun. It's essentially the Battle Frontier for Diamond and Pearl before the Battle Frontier. You go out through PokeTopia and you challenge Colosseums in creative battle formats to become the PokeTopia Master (However, it is recommended that you have a completed Pokemon DS Game to transfer Pokemon). But what I will say is, there is definitely a lot of missed potential when it comes to this game. Although, if you love Pokemon Battles in general, Gen 4, and have a Pokemon DS Save, I think you will enjoy this title for what it is worth

My overall rating for the game is : 7.5 I wouldn't call this a bad game at all. The puzzles and "mini-games" if you will are all quite an enjoyable experience, and things are changed up as you progress to keep testing your skills. The story doesn't seem changed up all that much which doesn't seem to be a bad thing (It's been a long time since I've seen the movie lol) It is certainly a good game, but I think it's one for the kids (Teenage years specifically). But either way, t'was an enjoyable experience.

Shrek's Carnival Craze while not astounding isn't that bad. It's pretty much your typical but basic party game... well, video game. The mini-games presented aren't bad, but it is a good thing there is a Tournament Mode to actually put those games to the fullest extent. There's a short cast of characters, and a story mode which isn't really special. It's just about Shrek being convinced to attend to the Carnival and just have a good time with friend and family, to which he does. Some games are fun, some games are meh, some are actually a little challenging. I'd recommend doing practice rounds with each mini-game to make sure you get the mechanics down, after that you shouldn't be long. I'd only recommend this to Casual Gamers looking to just have fun with friends and family. There is decent fun to be had, but nothing all that special.

The main reason why I got this game was because the gameXchange I went to had no Super Mario Bros U (Wii U) discs that worked. I legit went through all of 4 of them within the store and they did not work, but I wanted at least 1 Mario game for my Wii U and Captain Toad was next on the shelf I DID NOT regret it. Captain Toad has fun and occasionally challenging puzzles, and a whole slew of content even after you beat the game, which advertises the game that comes after it being : Super Mario 3D World. I truly enjoyed this game.

I at first wasn't too sure of the game since I'm not usually into the G1 designs. But once I took a gander at the game's story, my opinion was changed in a heartbeat. I did enjoy the gameplay overall, and I liked the different modes it had, ensuring there would still be plenty of content after you beat the game. It was cool I could even unlock Decepticon Characters for the other modes. The only real gripes I've got with the game is that the Artillery Specialists and Grenade Launchers are horrendous to deal with, even 1 of these guys are hard enough to result in a Game Over back to your previous checkpoint. The boss fights are challenging, but the thing is you HAVE to figure out their particular patterns and weaknesses / exploits or you will not win. But overall, Transformations : War for Cybertron (Autobots) is a very challenging and fun experience with plenty of content to keep you busy, and learn its story in the process. It's not as great as the console versions, but it'll make it worth your time.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

If you wanted to give me the DS Versions for Autobots : Revenge of the Fallen, and Autobots : Dark of the Moon? You'd have to get me this game. Only reason why I got Revenge of the Fallen myself, is so I could keep myself busy until I got a new copy of Transformers - Autobots

Alright, now that I have actually gotten the chance to play and the game and complete all the campaigns, allow me to give an actual review of this game. I dare to consider this a potential hidden gem for PlayStation 2 and Xbox, you could tell the developers actually tried to make this a good game, and I think it shows. On first glance it seems simplistic (and to be fair, it is for the most part), but after playing the campaigns you'll find there's a lot more depth and strategy to this game, even in the combat. I even found myself training against the Normal Difficulty NPCs on Versus mode and that alone provided great challenge to try and overcome my opponent. This was a challenging by joyful experience I'd absolutely recommend, for that and many other reasons is why I legitimately consider this a 8 out of 10 by Metacritic's Definition.

Not gonna lie, I find it saddening how EXTREMELY bad this game is... Upon opening it up the first time in years, I was given NO tutorials on the controls or what to do. You're just thrown into the gameplay and are expected to figure things out. There's no real plot to the game whatsoever. There is legitimately no direction to the game, you explore until you find the goal point. The Marker Man's jumps are laughable (To the point I could barely jump over an enemy without getting hurt) Controls are a little out of wack. When I drew the shapes, it just wouldn't work 70% of the time because ya had to be precise with the drawing. No real creativity behind the gameplay, which is a downright shame as with a drawing based game there would be limitless possibilities. There's NO way to attack or defeat the enemies that walk around the level, you're just a defenseless stick man... The game apparently had POWER UPs I had no clue about, which turns out thats what the Marker collectibles were for. I don't think this game even has a checkpoint system whatsoever. You die, you start over completely. The level design is.... meh.... The music is relaxing but will get repetitive after a while The sound effects are Ok at best but otherwise are not at all impressive... The only person I'd recommend this game to is someone who likes art and is just looking for a game. Otherwise, save your money...
