Prince of Persia: Dark Souls Symphony of the Night

This game is excellent and will probably end up being a sleeper hit, but it really deserves more recognition for just how solid the gameplay is and how well they reimagined the Prince of Persia franchise. This game is like the culmination of the past decade+ of gaming, in that there are Souls-like elements (bonfires, respawning enemies, tough combat, interlinking areas) on top of the classic-style sidescrolling platforming found in the original Prince of Persia or Symphony of the Night or any Metroid-vania type game. The platforming really surprised me as controlling Sargon feels good all around, but anyone familiar with the wall jumps from Sands of Time will instantly recognize that tactile feel of soaring in the air and timing your jumps with your weight hitting the wall. It demonstrates to me that the team was incredibly thoughtful and respectful to the franchise and they should really be proud of making something that I feel stands alongside and maybe even surpasses its previous incarnations. Man it’s an excellent game, at least buy it on sale if your even thinking about it a little bit, at least to encourage more of this level of quality in games.

Experience the thrill of tactical espionage action missions, sneaking into hostile environments without being detected by the enemy. This innovative game series was born from the idea of avoiding combat and infiltrating enemy territory undetected, a complete reversal of common action gameplay resulting in the creation of a brand-new game genre: stealth action. The first METAL GEAR game was released in 1987 and the series celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2022.

Love Metal Gear, and all I expected from this package was the ability to play these games on modern consoles, and on that it delivers! Different versions of MGS1, language options, complete screen plays, there’s nice content in here. However there is room for improvement in the future thru patches. These are ports of the HD collection versions, although there’s issues that have come up regarding lack of visual options, no improved resolutions, lighting is strangely too blown out and bright. Hopefully these issues will get addressed but if you are just looking to play this batch of Metal Gears on a modern console, this will satisfy.
The fourth chapter in the hugely successful and acclaimed action film series finds assassin John Wick (Keanu Reeves) gunning (quite literally) for the global crime consortium, the High Table. Wick challenges top member the Marquis Vincent de Gramont (Bill Skarsg~rd) to a duel, but first he'll have to fight the requisite hordes of lethal enemies, not the least of which is longtime friend Caine (Donnie Yen). With Laurence Fishburne, Ian McShane. 169 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

A terrific conclusion to the John Wick series! This one shares a feel similar to the original movie wherein the plot largely moves thru the excellent supporting characters, and John acting as more a force of nature in the World. As someone who actually prefers the 1st film over the gun-fu spectacles 2 and 3 were (not to imply 4 doesn’t have incredible gunfights), John Wick 4 actually surprised me with its seeming return to form and overall quality. Unlike 2 and 3, JW4 is able to stand alongside the first as a standalone film, and that’s impressive for a fourth entry! Donnie Yen is great! Love this movie already, and would be perfectly happy if this is the last entry in the franchise!

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete is really a love letter to fans of the original game more than anything, but there is still a fun time to be had for a blind watcher. The Cg models are definitely a little aged compared to modern movies, but the art direction helps to even that stuff out, and the 4k resolution helps make the film look a little fresher than you might remember if its been some time since you’ve seen the film, especially with the additional scenes. Sizeable extras rounds out the package, and you got yourself a pretty good video game movie!

The main game is short and sweet, but the real fun comes from the pursuit of gameplay mastery in subsequent replays. Like any proficient martial artist will tell you, the pursuit of mastery takes a lifetime of training. I may not play this game everyday, but it may never leave my rotation.

Excellent headphones for the price range, and the battery life is quite impressive. Fully charged, this Bluetooth headset lasted an entire 8 hour airline experience, including layovers, and still had well over 50% charge left . If you just need a simple pair of headphones for general listening purposes, from music to podcast or audiobooks, I highly recommend these.

Nice TV, easy and quick to setup. Good quality images, and a surprisingly low input lag speed if you are into gaming. A couple things to note, there is no backlight settings and I’d recommend a backlight for viewing movies with HDR; the colors are nice but particularly dark scenes are sometimes hard to make out, even with shadow detailing bumped up.
