This is one of the Sonic games of all time.
Neo Metal Sonic is a dope look though. And the music kicks serious ass in this.

2K. Did. Did you just make a good wrestling game TWO YEARS in a row?!
Holy shit. This game is so good. It's taken everything from the previous game and expanded on it very well this year. New options for MyGM, a funky showcase and even a new match type: WARGAMES! (God I love it when Regal says that.)
Showcase is so much fun and different this time. Instead of just playing John Cena's best matches, you actually play as Cena's greatest rivals and beat him in every match. That's fun and it works well with Cena's message throughout this showcase: Never Give Up. (Super Cena slaps by the way.)
MyRise is...goofy again. I enjoyed last year's more cause it felt more authentic for a CAW getting into the WWE. But this year's feels more gimmicky with the Lock storyline.
It's as if Vince McMahon was secretly pulling the strings when making this MyRise this year. (He's still pulling strings in WWE, let's be fucking honest.)
WarGames is such a fun match to play. I think it's my favourite match type so far on this game because of the destruction and chaos that can be unleashed in this game. I do hope they expand on the mechanics for next year as with more development, this match can be something truly special in the games.
So yeah. WWE 2K23 is even stronger as the tagline says. There's a few glitches and bugs and I do get the odd crash but the quality is very strong. I really hope now for the next game they expand more on mechanics and add even more matches. (I'd love to see First Blood or Buried Alive come back next year!) If they carry on expanding and listening to the audience, I think next year's game will be just as great.
Now. When's that AEW Game coming out? Feels like we've been waiting for that forever? But then again, considering the quality of how AEW is now. I'd probably just rather save my breath asking for it. Kek.

Honestly? So far, this expansion has been pretty darn good. The new Evoker class is really good and the Dracthyr's a fun race. (Though I find they take damage way too easily.)
The story's...better this time. There's still a few plot points that aren't great but most of it is pretty solid. Especially with Metzen coming back. (GREEN JESUS!)
I love the new zones. The levelling was so much fun and the ambience from each zone made it really good. The Primalist enemies are tough to fight but that shows how threatening they are.
As for the instances. They're good. Though most of the ones I do, people just rush through them like they're speedrunning this bitch. Gotta keep up. Kek.
Dragonriding is epic. The courses are so much fun and very enjoyable. Very dope.
So yeah. This expansion is good so far. Fingers crossed now the endgame delivers when it wraps up. Hopefully, this is the expansion that brings WoW back from the ashes.

Yeah no. This game is epic. The best Harry Potter game I've played. The graphics are great, the combat is so much fun and I love the customization options. Such a fun RPG.
Slytherin gang by the way. Deal with it.

Goddamn this game is beautiful. No wonder it won Game of the Year. (RIP God of War.)
Hard as fuck. But fun gameplay, cool monsters and amazing visuals and music.
Pretty damn epic.

TOMMY VERCETTI! REMEMBER THE NAME!
This is still my favourite GTA game of all time. Everything about it is just so epic. The gameplay, the time-set, the city, the music. Fucking beautiful.
People that say San Andreas is the best, I respectfully disagree. Vice City just has the better vibes for me. I love it.
RIP Ray Liotta. He was perfect as Tommy Vercetti. Such a good fella. (wink wink)
Demolition Man can do one, though. Worst mission ever.

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. This game got worse over time.
When it came out, I was really excited. I had a lot of fun doing Story Mode and seeing the new characters. And then I saw Lucky Chloe...
Lucky...fucking...Chloe.
Also, the graphics haven't aged well. Most of the characters have really bad sweat around them and the hair looks so greasy. It's like they've been wrestling in oil. It's so disgusting. Tekken 6's graphics look way better imo.
The rage arts are ok. But they are very bland. Devil Kazuya's is easily the best.
Story Mode. sigh. It's terrible. BUT, the final battle between Kazuya and Heihachi is so fucking good that I'd throw it in as one of the best final fights in gaming history. It truly is the final battle and this game does a great job hyping it up. (F for Heihachi.) Too bad the rest of the story doesn't add up.
And that Narrator. He's so boring. Nearly fell asleep in between cutscenes.
However, the music in this game is so fucking awesome. Heat Haze Shadow and Devil's Pit are shining examples of that.
Guest Characters are ok. Akuma is dope. And a great secret boss at the end of story mode. (10 Star Shin Akuma is insanely difficult and I love it!) Geese Howard? Yeah, pretty cool. Noctis? Why isn't he in SoulCalibur?! And Negan from the Walking Dead?! The fuck?! He's more for Mortal Kombat.
The rest of the DLC though is ridiculous. Why the fuck are so many of the characters from previous games now have to be paid for? That is so annoying.
Online is really bad. The netcode is so broken and Online Tournaments are a mess.
And now for my biggest problem with this game: Lack of singleplayer modes. No Team Battle. No Survival. No Time Attack! Just Treasure Battle and Arcade Mode. Arcade is too short and Treasure Battle is so shit.
Customization in this game is really shit compared to Tekken 6 and most of the parts are locked behind Treasure Battle, forcing you to play that only to end up getting rewards for a character YOU HAVEN'T EVEN BOUGHT! WHAT THE FUCK, NAMCO?!
Yeah, this game was great starting out but it aged badly. Honestly, you'd have a better time on PC with the Mods people have made. They make it way better graphics-wise. (Most of the stage filters are ugly too.)
Really hyped for Tekken 8 though. That looks so promising. Namco, please bounce back with Tekken 8.

Replaying this after we lost the late Kevin Conroy. Holy shit this game was awesome. The music, the graphics, the combat's...a little clunky but ok. But man, the story! It's so fucking good.
Kevin Conroy as Batman and Mark Hamill as Joker in this epic game is the selling point for me. Everyone else is brilliant too. I just loved this game. It's not the best gameplay wise in the series but it is still a strong game.
RIP Kevin Conroy. You will always be the best Batman. And proof that live-action is not always the best interpretation of a character or franchise.
Fun fact. This was gonna Mark Hamill's last performance as the Joker. But he came back for Arkham Knight so it's all good. Haha!
Protocol 10 will commence in 10 hours. God I love that line. This game rocks!

This game is just a P2W version of TTT2. Fun for Arcade Mode but nothing else to be said about this.
F2P Tekken is weird. It's so watered down and more for Online stuff.
Least its not SoulCalibur: Lost Swords. That was even worse.

Holy shit. Talk about hype when this game was announced. Tekken games really get me excited.
This is one of the best Tekken games ever. Truthfully. And the fact they brought nearly everyone back for this game screams how epic this game was.
The new Tag system worked really well and allowed you to pull of more combos which is a welcoming mechanic. But it can get you in the trouble when you're on the recieving end of it. Ouch! lol
The stages are awesome. I love they brought back Moonlit Wilderness and Snow Castle from Tekken 5. And Fiji too! Hahaha!
Devil comes back in this one as an in-stance transformation for Kazuya which is awesome! Sure he's spammy and dodgy to play with but he's just too much fun so fight me.
Unknown is back as the Final Boss and by god was she tough when the game first came out. She was so broken that Namco had to do an update to nerf her. Not even Azazel got nerfed. Shows how broken she was.
Fight Lab is fun to learn the mechanics of Tekken. A little tough but you get there in the end. And Combot from Tekken 4 being part of it is really cool.
Overall, this is Tekken All Stars and I love it. It's like Smash Ultimate: Everyone is here! (Except for Gon and the older Jacks. And the first King and Kuma.) It's so much fun and was definitely worth the hype. Hard as fuck, but great to play!
Also young Heihachi is fun.
P.S. Why the fuck does Jin get a remix of his theme from Tekken 3 but Kazuya doesn't from Tekken 2? What the fuck, Harada?!
Oh well. Least he gets it in Smash. And that theme is an absolute banger. Suck it, Jin!

God I remember the hype around this game. And then I saw the gem system. lol (Its kinda pointless I felt.)
This is an ok game. It's basically just another Street Fighter but with Tekken characters. The supers are pretty cool and the Pandora system is neat. Even the story surrounding everything is pretty dope. (Ryu's ending though. Oof! Thats why he ended up in Asura's Wrath)
The roster I felt though is lacking. They really needed to add the Devil characters for Tekken and the Hado boys from SF.
I mean come on, we have Kazuya vs Ryu here. Don't we at least get to see Devil Kazuya vs Evil Ryu! What the fuck, Capcom? (Glad they brought back Ogre though. Even if he looks like an Aztec Clone of Seth in this game haha!)
The stages are kinda lackluster as well. There's not many compared to USFIV and there's only like three stages I like.
Also the DLC Characters thay you have to pay for are already on the disc! WHAT THE FUCK?! Capcom, you really are greedy bastards. At least they're not EA.
Overall, this game is pretty good. If they added the Devil Characters and Evil Ryu and Oni, it would have been way better.
Moment of silence for Namco's Tekken X Street Fighter. We're never getting that, are we? Let's be honest.

God, flash games were the shit back in the day. This game was a lot of fun. Cool music, great hacking and slashing and a cool variety of weapons.
I miss Flash. :(

Not a bad little bundle. For this one disc, what you get is the Blood Vengeance movie, a remaster of TTT1 and a fun little demo of TTT2.
The film is meh at best. If you want a proper review, go to my Letterboxd review right here - https://letterboxd.com/masterdudewalke/film/tekken-blood-vengeance/
The TTT1 remaster is fantastic. Great HD port and just as fun as the original.
The TTT2 demo is quite fun. I love that you can play as the Blood Vengeance Devils whose designs should really have been in the final version of TTT2. (Come on, Namco!) But it was a fun little demo to get you ready for the full game.
But yeah, I'd recommend this. Mainly for the TTT1 HD port.

Alright, PS3 Era Tekken now! Let's do it.
So Tekken 6 has what I believe to be, the best graphics out of all the Tekken games by far. The FPS is so smooth it feels like you're playing it on the PS5. However, on the PS3 at least there's one big problem.
The game takes forever to fucking load. Takes like 2 minutes for a match to load which is really annoying.
Scenario Campaign is a lot of fun. I love the way it's made but it's a hard son of a bitch. Especially Nightmare Train!
Azazel is the hardest boss ever. And an absolute cheat with his auto-armor bullshit. Such a fucking pain in the ass to fight.
Nancy? Well, it took me 4 years to beat it but when I did, so satisfying! lol
As for Jin turning evil, eh. I'm ok with it but the twist is a bit odd. He started World War III just to lure out Azazel? Fucking nut. Lars is ok as the main protagonist. So yeah.
This game has the best customization by the way out of all the games. It's so goddamn expensive but there's so much it's epic. Why they toned it down in Tekken 7 I don't know.
But yeah, Tekken 6 has a few problems but I loved it. Best graphics, great story mode and a lot of fun.
Is it the best Tekken game? Graphics-wise yes. But the rest? Definitely not. But it is one of the best in my opinion. Glad I got the Limited Edition too. Those 3P costumes for Jin and Kazuya are sick!
(P.S. Why does Kazuya's face remind me of Christopher Lee in this game? What's up with that? Not complaining though. Sir Christopher was badass.)
