Last year I wrote an article titled, The State of SOCOM. I discussed my love and history for the beloved third person shooter that helped pioneer online multiplayer on consoles. It has been six years since we last had a new SOCOM game and five years since Zipper Interactive, the developer, closed its doors. While I haven’t been able to replace SOCOM, I have found a few games that helps make the void a little smaller.
Spiderman has had a lot of big screen time over the years. From Sam Raimi’s Spiderman trilogy, to the premature reboot that was Marc Webb’s Amazing Spiderman Films. It is safe to say that our beloved Wall Crawler has had his fair share of highs, and unfortunately, some lows. If you were worried about ANOTHER reboot, worry no more.
Baby Driver tells the story of Baby, a young, gifted get away driver. I won't spoil anything, but I will mention some stuff that you’ve seen in the trailers. Baby owes a debt to his boss, Kevin Spacey. Each job that he completes, he is one step closer to being a free man. Baby meets a hot waitress who becomes his glimpse into a life that he could have. After he completes his last job, wouldn't you know it, Kevin Spacey calls him back for one more gig.
I have been super eager to see this movie ever since I saw Prometheus, which I loved. I was super excited to see what happened to David and Elizabeth. (the main characters from Prometheus) As a huge fan of the first 2 Alien films, (THERE IS ONLY 2 OF THEM) I have to love this one now right? It has Alien in the title! It MUST be great? Right? …Eh.
Damn it Nintendo, You “Nintendoed” it up again. Do you not want our money? You sure act like you don’t. Lets start off with blaming the awful launch of the NES Classic on “we didn’t expect there to be much demand” to now just out right canceling production of it. If you guys are really that bad at the Supply and Demand concept then its amazing you haven’t run your company into the ground. That’s not it though, this is all because of one thing. You manufacture scarcity and you run yourselves like a toy company, not a video game and console developer. What I mean behind that is in the toy industry this is a distinct move that a toy company would pull. You barely release any of your new product on its launch and make sure that just a few people get whatever your new product is.
You would think I would have stopped riding the hype train thanks to Duke Nukem Forever and No Man’s Sky but NOPE. I was wildly excited for Yooka-Laylee. The screen shots showed off this fantastic colorful art style, the small snippets of the world layouts looked exciting. Recalling a time when 3D performers ruled the Nintendo 64 and awkward camera controls were the norm.
This week the Nerds talk about updates coming to Overwatch, Chaos among the Justice League movie and Ducks Tails is making a comeback and much much more.
