- Cruelty Squad is one of my favorite games of 2021 (alongside Metroid Dread). It's a hellish 90s computer program with the mixture of Goldeneye N64, Super Mario 64 and old school shooters on a bad trip. The gameplay is solid, rewarding and punishing. It looks like some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game but actually well designed. There's plenty of secrets to discover just like the old times when discovering was special until GameFAQs or searching up anything online spoils the mystery.
- Each missions has its own settings such as a harbor, mall, cruise ship or a suburb where you have to assassinate targets of corporations. The dialogue is straight up legendary and hilarious. Has profound moments worthy of a discussion.
- My favorite toys are Chunkopops.
- My favorite anime is Haato no DokiDoki: Zankokudan.
- My favorite program is Zoon.

KOTOR is my second favorite Star Wars behind Battlefront 2 (2005). Wanted to play this game ever since I was watching YouTube videos about Star Wars related content. Earlier Bioware created the majority of their games as top notch for characters and story. Combat could be out dated for newer players. However, the combat is engaging if you understand the basis of strategy. Should use 1-2 lightsaber user or blaster user for squad. Jolee, Bastila and HK-47 are my favorite characters.
Reminder: Read the upgrades, stats, attributes and description carefully. Don't be careless for upgrading each characters. Persuade should be the best stat to upgrade due to dialogue success.

One time I was playing a game, everyone was shouting "Rick and Morty" repeatedly. I surely love voice chat here.

One of a kind 3D platformers back in the good old platformers days. Happen to purchase it recently from sales. The narration overall is fantastic, especially the mental worlds. Each levels are based on a certain character's mind. Environmental story telling, memory vaults, dialogue and the art direction creates a believable world.
Gameplay: Each psychic abilities are creative/fun in design. Levitation and Telekinesis are the useful PSI Powers. Combat are meh overall. Collecting stuff improves your PSI powers for each rank. Figments are cool to collect for drawing, but there's too many of them. Figments pretty hard to spot due to being 2D and bend in the background. There's still some flaws for the level design. Each mental worlds are distantly different from one another. Favorite levels are the Milkman Conspiracy and Lungfishopolis. Meat Circus has an annoying escort section among with a challenging platform part.
Small thoughts: Music is fine, certain tracks are annoying. Favorite characters are Sasha, Milla, Boyd, Raz, Lili, Mikhail (Russian guy) and Fort Cruller. Raz is the same voice as Zim from Invader Zim. Feels more align as Tim Burton, cartoons and the point & click LucasArts games. Hope Psychonauts 2 can deveiler as an long-waited sequel.

This has to be one of the most forgettable games on the original Xbox. Poor controls, combat and graphics. Both the campaign and multiplayer are awful. Cutscenes are just stills without any animation movement. No music, boring sound design. The main objectives for each level are just fly to certain checkpoints in order to win or frustrated stupid. The voice acting is straight up awful to the point when PS1 Resident Evil 1 has better voice acting than the entirely of this game. The character design looks awful and anatomy doesn't make sense. Remember the instruction manual smell like seawater. Never will I ever open up the box because of that odd smell.
Recommend greater games:
Star Wars Rouge Squadron

I'm currently reviewing the modern status of the battle royale. Overall the Chapter 3 season 1 is looking great. Came back to play with friends and custom matches. Received Spider-Man and the Foundation (The literal Dwayne Johnson).
Game Mechanics: Changing the meta, adding/removing weapons/equipment, map design and new updates are no stranger for the Battle Royale. New updates every two weeks or a month keeps more engagement. Having weekly updates could be viewed as beneficial for current players, however it adds more stress/crunch towards the developers.
V-Bucks are a pretty good currency system for skins and emotes. It is very expensive if someone is careless on spending money on digital skins, dances, etc. It's all fine to purchase skins or emotes here and there, but never overspend your wallet. Battle Pass are an excellence for seasonal reward items. If someone doesn't collect everything in the pass when a new season arrives, then the player will lose access for receiving those items. So make sure to collect all of the important cosmetics before the next season drops.
Epic Games received high revenue primacy from Fortnite or Unreal Engine. Epic Games has access copyrighted characters/celebrities to be promotional featured for events and skins. Major franchises has been featured such as Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Aliens, Street Fighter and Halo. The crossover characters are great overall. Specific characters such as Kratos, Naruto or anyone whom doesn't use guns feel unnatural to be featured in a Battle Royale. Collecting skins, emotes, gliders or harvesting tools are pretty awesome to keep within your inventory for several years to pass.
Overall, Fortnite currently seems to be way too different from what it was originally was. It's crazy for how different it feels after a few years break. From what I seen, think this Chapter 3 looking better than Chapter 2.
Favorite skins: The Visitor, Ice King, Calamity, Ronin, Haven

Crimson Skies is definitely one of my favorite original Xbox exclusives. Backward compatible for the Xbox 360/One. The box cover is magnificent to check on. Drew Struzan (famous for Indiana Jones movie poster) designed the box cover. The opening for booting Crimson Skies is straight up epic.
Gameplay: Aerial combat are the central focus for gameplay. Piloting the planes are easy to control due to the simply controls for the Xbox controller. Each aircraft comes with its own speed, health and weapons. Certain planes carry unique secondary weapons such as missiles, flamethrowers and even Tesla coiled attack. Aiming on enemy planes are slightly difficult due a lack of aim assist. Destroying planes, zeppelins and monstrous aircraft are satisfyingly to witness. Split screen multiplayer are a blast to play with family & friends to determine who's the best air pirate. There's a wild chicken gametype which is straight up hilarious. The flying pilot helmet chicken replaces the flag in Capture the Flag gametypes.
Story: Crimson Skies takes place during an alternative 1930s United States. America was divided into sovereignties/regions such as the Nation of Hollywood, Arixo and Industrial States of America. Zeppelins and aircrafts became essential transportation across the globe. Nathan Zackary, Betty and the Fortune Hunters faced off the opposing air pirates and the fascist empire, Die Spinne. Locations consist of Sea Haven, Arizona, Chicago and a lost civilization in South American. The campaign is excellent and fun overall.
Other thoughts: Graphics still hold up to this day.nThe voice acting is exceptional well suited. Timothy Omundson (Carlton Lassiter in Psych) does an excellent job for the player controlled character, Nathan Zachary. Music perfectly captures the aesthetics of adventure films. Even though there's no plans for developing more Crimson Skies titles, it still holds a special place to me. Recommend to check out the video down below for a greater understanding of the franchise.
