Looking Back at the Golden Era of Call of Duty
Modern Warfare 4 just released and I am feeling a bit nostalgic. I remember my younger days when I was a big fan of COD. I decided to look back at the time period in which I think Call of Duty had it's golden era. Take a trip down memory lane with me as I look back at World at War and the original series for Modern Warfare and Black Ops.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu Review
I take a closer look at The Mandalorian and Grogu and why I have such mixed feelings about the movie. On one hand, it’s an entertaining Star Wars adventure with plenty of fun action, familiar characters, and some great moments. But on the other hand, the story feels incredibly average, the movie lacks the impact you would expect from a Star Wars film returning to theaters, and it ultimately feels more like an extended episode of the show than a true cinematic event. I enjoyed watching it, but I also walked away feeling pretty disappointed by what could have been.

Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord Review
The Disney era of Star Wars has been hit or miss, but one thing that rarely disappoints is its animated series. Maul: Shadow Lord continues that trend, delivering a compelling story centered on one of the franchise's greatest villains. Rather than redeeming its antagonist or rewriting established lore, the series embraces the dark side and expands Darth Maul's incredible journey from a silent enforcer in Episode I to one of Star Wars' most fascinating characters. In this review, I share my thoughts on the show's first season, what it gets right, and why Maul remains one of the best characters in the galaxy.

The Outer Worlds 2 Review: Did It Live up to the Hype?
I finally got my hands on one of my most anticipated games of 2025: The Outer Worlds 2. As a big fan of the first game, I went in hoping the sequel would expand on everything that made the original so memorable. While The Outer Worlds 2 delivers an overall enjoyable experience, some elements feel surprisingly average, leaving me with mixed feelings by the end.

I Have Mixed Feelings About Battlefield 6
Despite having a strong release, Battlefield 6 has struggled to keep up. The player base has dropped drastically as EA/DICE struggle to come out with quality content. It's a shame because I love the feel of this game as it reminds me of the Battlefield games I grew up with. However, I have mixed feelings thanks to questionable game design choices and for the fact that EA/DICE have struggled yet again with keeping up with the live service model.

Dying Light: The Beast Is Incredible
Dying Light: The Beast is another fantastic entry in the franchise. The Beast continues to offer one of the best gameplay formulas out there. The combat is great. It’s as gory and as gruesome as it’s ever been. The game is just as fun when you aren’t chopping zombie heads off thanks to the parkour element. Techland created a perfectly sized open world game, and they were able to successfully integrate the parkour and combat systems into it. The Beast is a must play due to its stellar gameplay and linear focused narrative.

Mafia: The Old Country Falls Just Short of Being Great
Mafia: The Old Country is a game that looks great but is lacking in content. It’s a classic single-player narrative experience that offers a fun story. But the storytelling and gameplay elements are limited due to the game’s length. I enjoyed my time with the title, but I was expecting a lot more from the fourth installment in this franchise.

Avowed Review: It's Better Than You Think
Avowed is a solid game. The game features fantastic combat which is broken up into multiple systems. The world looks amazing and it is a semi open world game that gives you the right amount of content. The story may not be the best, but the gameplay will help you get through it. This game is worth a play through.

Corporate Greed Has Ruined the Game Industry
I think it is safe to say corporate greed has killed the game industry. It is no longer fun to play games. Hell, it isn't even fun to make games. The game industry is all about money now and it's less about the fun experience we used to have while gaming. Every game in every game genre is over monetized and game companies have placed unrealistic expectations on the developers.

Andor Season 2: Some of the Finest Storytelling in Star Wars
I really enjoyed the second season of Andor despite not being the biggest fan of the first. Andor features some of the best storytelling and acting we have ever seen in this franchise. Andor gives us a mature and gritty story which is something I have wanted in Star Wars for a long time. The acting was great. The writing made sense. Even the dialogue heavy scenes were enjoyable. The story was tense and emotional. Season 2 perfectly wraps up the origin story of Cassian Andor and the rebellion.

It's Time for a Change at Lucasfilm
It appears Kathleen Kennedy’s retirement is looming. Honestly, it can’t come soon enough. Star Wars is dying, and major changes need to be made to save the franchise. There needs to be leadership changes made to save the franchise. Kathleen Kennedy needs to go. Lucasfilm needs a new president. The company needs a president that care about Star Wars and will allow a true content creation team to run the show.

Star Wars Outlaws: A Wasted Opportunity
Star Wars Outlaws was a disappointment. I think the game had some really good ideas that never came to fruition. It is yet another typical open world game that is beautifully designed, but lacks variety in gameplay elements. The game is repetitive and the storytelling is weak, especially near the end of the game. This game could have been the GTA version of Star Wars, but it ends up being just another open world Ubisoft game.

Skeleton Crew Review: A Show Deserving of More Attention
I really enjoyed Skeleton Crew. I think it is a very good show. It's a fun adventure show that is perfect for getting younger people interested in Star Wars. Sadly, the show received poor reception due to the current state of the franchise. It sucks, but this will continue to happen until Disney and Lucasfilm change the way they do things. Regardless, I will explain why I think Skeleton Crew is worth the watch.

Black Ops 6: I Have Mixed Feelings About It
Black Ops 6 is pretty good. The campaign is the most controversial in the Black Ops series, but it is still a solid experience. Multiplayer is solid and the additions of the omni-movement system is huge. Zombies hasn’t been this fun in years. I just wish the developers would be more creative by crafting new maps and modes that go along with gunsmith and the new movement system. It’s also frustrating to see the developers get lazy and rely on AI to create cosmetics.

Star Wars Will Never Be the Same
Star Wars used to be a fun, emotional, and unforgettable experience, filled with lore, legacy, and stories that stood the test of time. But under Disney’s reign, the franchise has lost its way. In this video, I share my frustrations with the current direction of Star Wars and why I feel pessimistic about its future. From the disrespect shown to George Lucas' original vision to the constant injection of agendas into the storytelling, it's clear that Star Wars isn't what it used to be. I also address the broken fanbase—a once passionate community now riddled with toxicity on all sides—and reflect on how the joy of discussing Star Wars has faded. Despite trying to remain hopeful and give new content a chance, I’m growing tired of the constant disappointment.

Should the Halo Show Get a Second Chance?
The Halo show has been cancelled after just 2 seasons. The show was a frustrating disappointment. The writers chose to ignore the source material and the storytelling decisions made were offensive to the franchise. The Halo universe is very interesting and it should have been very easy to make a fun and entertaining show based off of the games. I'd love to see a brand new Halo show or movie in the future, however, they need to clean house and start from scratch.

The Acolyte Review: More Disappointing Storytelling
I am extremely disappointed in The Acolyte show. This was another flawed and controversial Star Wars show. The writing was bad, filled with plot holes, and left me more confused than anything else. I think this is the worst Star Wars show to come out. It would be nice if Disney and Lucasfilm would focus more on making fun Star Wars content and a little less on their crusade to fight toxic fans.

The Fallout Show Was Excellent
The Fallout show exceeded my expectations. This show can be put on the very short list of successful adaptions. The creators of the show respected the lore and various themes of the game franchise. Both the plot and characters had great development that really paid off by the time you get to the season 1 finale. Yes, there are some changes to the lore but there’s nothing that ruins the show or tarnishes Fallout’s legacy. Some of the changes are cool in my opinion. I highly recommend this show to anyone.

Can Xbox Be Saved at This Point?
Xbox is in the worst state it could possibly be. Who would have thought they would be struggling this bad just a year after purchasing all those game studios. It’s shocking to see Xbox close studios that developed successful games and it’s truly unfortunate to see so many people lose their jobs. The people at the top need to be held accountable, but of course that never happens. Xbox is becoming so desperate that it is destroying itself. Shutting down studios, spending a ridiculous money on Game Pass, and releasing bad games might just lead to the downfall of Xbox. Can Xbox be saved at this point or has their fate been sealed?

Tales of the Empire Review: Don't Listen to the Negativity
Tales of the Empire was solid addition to the Tales series that Disney has created for Star Wars. Both sets of stories were interesting and emotional. It was nice to see the perspective of the bad guys for a change. You can argue that there are other characters far more worthy of having stories told about them in this series, but this was still fun to watch. I have a few critiques regarding storytelling decisions, but I highly recommend checking out the show. Don’t listen to all the noise out there about this show. It’s worth a watch.
