Romeo + Juliet: A Masterclass In Trash-edy

Remember how I loved to talk about my old reviews and how I would eventually get around to uploading them? Well good news, I’m retooling one of those reviews fill in for this week. Yeah, I have another contribution for “The Undiscussables” series in the works but I wanna take a break plus I am in bit of a movie groove as of recent so let’s keep this going while we can. This week, I am retooling an English assessment. Yeah, I only watched this trash for English once during year 10 and while this isn’t my first review at the time (that would be the now lost “Maze Runner” review I did in year 9 for media which got me a 100% for that assignment), I certainly didn’t have fun with this. Also, since this is from two years ago, back in a time where I wasn’t so good at writing (you could probably say there is no difference now) so expect some rather crappy jokes since this was back when I tried to replicate the “Zero Punctuation” approach to writing so yeah, I’m sorry for what about you are going to read.

In 1996, in a time when cartoons were apparently decent compared to today's standards and Tim Burton blessed the world with “Mars Attack”, a certain Baz Luhrmann came back after 4 years of doing nothing after releasing his first movie, “Strictly Ballroom” with “Romeo + Juliet” which is annoying to repeatedly type so I will be referring to it as R+J or alternatively, lazy. This movie was supposed to be an "adaptation" of the original Shakespeare tragedy with it being spruced up for the modern times but since it was the 90s, it had floral button up shirts, over the top drama and teenage hunks or more specifically, Leonardo DiCaprio. Yes, the 90s heartthrob takes the role of Romeo before his role in the literarily titanic role in “Titanic” with Claire Danes and if you are who she is, she was Kate Connor from the Terminator 3, proving how bad she is when it comes to acting. The movie was an massive success with it racking in $147.5 million on a $14.5 million budget and getting a score of 72% on Rotten Tomatoes but yet again, this is the 90s and they thought MMMbop was good so will this be a master class in tragedy or comedy?

The plot is pretty much the same thing as the original play so if you were forced to read “Animal Farm” instead of “Romeo and Juliet” and happen to live under a rock in the Arctic Circle, I'll do a brief summary on it. There's two main families (most likely mafia families considering the conditions we see them in) who are in a feud with each other. After a brief shootout between two of these families and a intervention from the police, we are finally introduced to Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and his friend makes plans to crash the party set up by Juliet's father. Romeo is dressed up as a knight and Juliet as an angel because of Baz was trying to be subtle but he missed out on the class about conveying ideas via visuals which explains why costumes is not a good way of doing this so we got a visual metaphor that's a bit on the nose. Juliet meets her suitor, Paris who is a naive rich guy who is depicted by Paul Rudd who is also Ant-Man so at least Marvel knows how to use its talent properly instead of having be in a total of 5 mins of this 2 hour film. Romeo then sees Juliet and Juliet sees Romeo and after a series of stops to stare each other and chasing each other until they each an elevator which I then forgot what happens. Knowing the typical romance cliches, they probably started snogging like there's no tomorrow but I could be wrong. They probably started playing Scrabble for all I know. After this encounter, they find out who they are too late and the star crossed lovers plot kicks in. I won't continue from here since I won't spoil what happens and also because I got incredible confused. What didn't help was the fact Baz was absolutely lazy and decide instead of hiring script writers, he just copied a script of the play and added new stage directions.

All the dialogue is “Ye Olde English” so unless you either have a PhD in Language Arts or was born in the 17th Century, you are going to have fun trying to understand what's going on. You may call it respecting the original work but I call it looking pretentious. Like, I get it you want it to be a homage of sorts but this is Romeo And Juliet, a classic of the years. It already has like ten thousand “homages” so what is the excuse for just copy pasting the whole original play. It’s just pure laziness and the same can be said by the actors because it just seems like they are reeling it in. The decent job done here in terms of acting is our main man Leo since he actually emotes, even if he does it by the medium of yelling very loudly at the camera. The others seem a bit like robots. They don't seem good at showing emotions. There's a point in the movie when Juliet is threatening to kill herself and it has no drama because she just looks likes she just got out of the uncanny valley. For me, these actors outside of Leo have no talent and just serves to just make the already crap and confusing dialogue even more crap and confusing.

The only thing I'm prepared to praise is stage design. Baz may of missed the class of subtlety but he was there when they covered on how to make visual representation look just perfect. One set that stands out to be me is Juliet's room at night. It's all being light up by candles which is spread out generously with its soft lighting making the scene with the cherry on top being the Angel statues since it perfectly brings across the message of how Juliet is a just a innocent angel. This is the only thing it does good and I'm ready to praise it as an example of why we shouldn't use CGI but I digress. I also think all the scenes are brilliantly well shot, proving that he is a much better director than screenwriter. For me, the visuals alone is worth putting up with the crap but I get it if it doesn’t appeal to you or the visuals don’t do the movie enough justice but I think they are brilliant and are the one of the two only redeeming qualities of this movie.

In the end, Baz has brought us a semi decent movie. It's a 3/10 for me since its only saving graces was our man, Leo and the visuals as both really bring the movie together for me. This film claims to be a faithful adaptation and I guess it is since both are out of date, overused and is only loved by people who wear rose tinted glasses. The only difference is that English professors like the original play and English teachers like the movie and I honestly don't know where I was going with that joke. Next week might be the undiscussables review if I can’t get into theatres to watch Mamamia 2 since that just came out in cinemas and I really want to watch it.

Batman Ninja: What Happens When Batman Goes Full Weeb

Well isn’t this weird? I am actually doing a movie review within two weeks of the last one but I am also technically reviewing an anime for once. I don’t know where this movie falls but I do have some things to say about this. I was about to watch Black Panther while I was checking if Infinity Wars made it on DVD yet but then I saw this so I decided to be a very naughty boy and watch it online. Don’t worry, on premise anyway I will buy this on DVD to show my support anyway. With that said, this going to be a very regrettable purchase for me because I don’t like this much and warning, you will see the more compulsive side of my picky taste when it comes to anime. While I’m very easy to win over, I can be also very easy to lose if you do something wrong and from that perspective, you will see lot of my reasoning behind my criticisms. You can also expect an fair review with no bias because I wasn’t expecting anything from this. I remember stumbling across a trailer for this a year earlier and thinking “Man, that’s looks like an interesting concept” but just not really into it. Needless rants aside, let’s dive into that plot summary so spoiler warning as usual.

The plot is simple. Gorilla Grood makes a time travel thingy called the “Quake Engine” which teleports a bunch of villains and members of the bat family to feudal Japan which Batman being the last one to arrive two years later because plot convenience. After trying two failed full on assaults on the newly crowned “Sixth Heavenly King Lord Joker”, who foreshadows mecha castles and destroying his tech during them. Batman being uncharacteristically stupid, actually teams up with Grood, who lets them take out “Lord Joker” before predictably betraying him. After Batman realises that he has to fight by this time period’s rules, he becomes a ninja lord known as “Batman Sengoku” with a ninja clan who happens to be planning for Batman’s arrival because prophecy cliche and while it’s cool and all, it’s a shame that his opponents didn’t follow by the same rules because they have all turned their castles into mechs and decided to have a massive mech fight where Grood just made them become his slaves and then Joker pulls a deus ex out of his arse, takes control of the castles and does a super cheesy “Power Ranger” megazoid transformation. Following this, Batman forms a giant Batman made of bats and armoured monkeys to fight the mech and then Joker and Batman has a sword fight. After all this mess happens, Batman decides he is done messing around in Japan, they just time travel back where it ends abruptly. Yeah, I don’t really care about spoiling this at all because the plot is on the same level of a direct to video cash grab.

This plot could of been much better if it a writer that didn’t love “because plot” moments and wasn’t schizophrenic about what genre it wanted to be. I will be getting into those “because plot” moments later because I want to talk about the tone or rather, the lack of it. If this was just sticking to more of a period piece feel with Batman characters, this would of been a serviceable movie but the fact it can’t find its tone since it wants to go balls to wall on what mainstream westerners think what anime is mainly is, it becomes confusing and plot elements have no rhythm or reason to why they happen. They just happen because plot needs it to happen and that’s poor writing. What also bothered me was the lack of establishment presented to us in what canon and time period of the Batman mythos we are in. I am not the biggest comic book person (ironic, I know) but I know an awful lot about them and I was still slightly confused. We are up to our fourth Robin and Catwoman is trusted enough to know Batman’s true identity as well but that establishes nothing. You can say it doesn’t matter but if we don’t address them, there is plot holes like Catwoman knowing Batman’s real identity. I will drive that point home when I complain about our Batman depiction but let’s talk about the animation because I hate it.

This is where you going to see my more “otaku” side leak out but I think we already saw this in my numerous manga reviews so let’s get on with it. Cast your mind back to the “Berserk” review where I complained about how the CGI for the anime was ugly because guess what, Batman Ninja did it as well and it still ugly. To its credit, it still tries to have a very anime drawn look and there is a brief moments of 2D animations but the 2D looks like crap and Berserk also tried to do drawn look and still looks like compacted trash so it’s pointless. I also don’t like the animation quality, it just seemed stiff at times for me and you really see it when they do facial close ups. It’s just the same animation problems I had with the Berserk anime except this is WB this time so you would think they had the cash to splash in this but I guess the DCCU is burning a hole in that fat wallet. What also isn’t helping is the character designs are horrible to look at. I get it they wanted to roll with the look of the period it’s set in but Joker has a stupid looking mustache, the current Robin has gone partially bald and Catwoman’s hair colour keeps switching between dark brown and light brown. While some of these are forgivable (except Joker’s mustache) but they ruined Red Hood by giving him a stupid looking mask which is pretty much a very tall basket painted red and Batman in his general armour looks like crap. It’s just really sloppy character design in my opinion and talking about my opinion, the voice acting is like listening to randoms off the street to do really bad impressions of the characters. The trailer I saw first was subbed and although I am more of a dubbed over subbed person, I really wish they stuck with the subbed version because omg, the dub is horrible. Everyone sounds uninterested and the Joker is constantly ear grating with his shrill voice. I know his voice is supposed to be annoying but it’s supposed to be scary but this dub voice is just horrible because it doesn’t scare me, it just makes my ears hurt. I just hate everything about this part of the film because I am an otaku (or weeb if you want to be derogatory) and they didn’t really do anything with the more anime like approach. I wouldn’t be even remotely interested in this if they went with their standard comic book cartoon look but they advertised this like it was a anime adaption of the Batman franchise so I feel like as both a otaku and very casual comic fan, I had to see this and judge it so with that said, let’s talk about I think the way they have depicted Batman is absolutely wrong.

If you were asked what would be Batman’s most defining personality trait, what would you respond with? For me, outside of pointing out his grouchy attitude and the whole “dead parents” thing, I would say it’s intelligence and how he has a plan for every single possible outcome because he is the world’s greatest detective if we were to believe his comic book title. I bring this up because they do not follow this at all in the movie. He is constantly making rather rash and stupid decisions like teaming up with Grood or trying to assault Joker’s fortress twice by himself and this would be slightly excusable if he was still that young person with no experience but he isn’t. Remember, he is up to his fourth robin in this film so he must be in his late 40s - early 50s by now so he isn’t dumb and naive. He has the experience so what is the excuse for him to act like an idiot? Simple, the plot demanded it and that’s the only reason why he acts like an idiot. Why does Batman show up two years later after everyone else dropped in? Why is there a ninja clan that has been waiting for this prophecy to be fulfilled and Batman happens to fit that criteria? Why does Batman constantly make horribly stupid mistakes when he is proven to be far more intelligent? It’s because the plot needs to happen and that’s why I hate the writers. The writers of this film doesn’t know how Batman acts or what makes an fun and interesting film. They have written something that’s an insult to both anime, Batman and maybe even direct to home DVDs and direct to home DVDs are horrible so it’s appalling bad.

Like I said before, I had no expectations for this going in and I ended up being disappointed anyway. It’s just a really bad display of writing and animation. The fact this exists is a stain on this earth in my opinion. I think the only way this can be enjoyed is if are either 10 years old or you got your friends around and you had a drinking party while you watch this because it’s that bad. If I was to praise anything in this, it would be how balls to the wall crazy the second half is. Here’s 2/10 for effort but effort isn’t enough, WB when you are incompetent. Direct to home DVDs used to be the one thing you had over Marvel when they started their cinematic universe and now you are just screwing it all up. I am more then disappointed to be perfectly honest. So anyway, next week might just be another movie review because I want a bit of a break from writing these next week so I am going to be updating a review for everyone which features the 90s heartthrob before he got his Oscar.

Lollipop Chainsaw: Suda51, A More Colourful Kojima

I should of done this a lot earlier but hey, there is nothing you can do when your friend is borrowing the game for a indefinite time plus I was saving this bullet in the chamber for a week where I had nothing to do. Nevertheless, we are doing another review where I go on about my favourite thing and this week, it’s my favourite game of all time but that should be taken with a grain of salt. I actually spent my weekend thinking, trying to figure out if this game is my favourite game or not and while I did eventually hit that conclusion that it is my favourite game, I am still unsure about it. Hopefully by the end of this, I will have reached a conclusion but that’s enough with the boring stuff. Let’s cut into this glorious pile of rainbow coloured guts.

“Lollipop Chainsaw” follows Juliet Starling, typical American teenager with a cute boyfriend and also a cheerleader. Oh yeah, she is also born into a zombie hunting family. The plot starts on her birthday and zombies have shown up so after killing a bunch of them, she goes to meet up with her boyfriend who gets bitten while trying to save her. After decapitating him and keeping him alive as just a head, Juliet kills more zombies in her school and finds out that this depressing emo (or is it goth?) kid called Swan has summoned the zombies with their undead lords because he hates this world (like probably every single emo or goth kid). From there, you must kill all the zombie lords with your rainbow, spark spewing chainsaw to save the city while you try to celebrate your birthday. Does it sound over the top because if it does, then you just understood the whole concept of the game. This game wants to be balls to the wall crazy and considering this was a collaboration between Suda51, who probably snorts a kilogram of cocaine for breakfast every morning, and James Gunn who probably does the same going by his filmography, they achieved it. This is a very basic plot but just like last week, it’s ok because it’s a parody. Ok, Lollipop Chainsaw is a little less parody and little more crazy but they are both fun takes on popular trend at the time with “Mars Attacks” making fun of 90s obsession with aliens and “Lollipop Chainsaw” making fun of the more serious depictions of Zombies during the early 2010s. Nevertheless, the plot is just a way to chain a bunch of the fun little gimmicks of each level in this case while still providing enough time and moments for us to connect with each character so overall, great writing and the same applies to the gameplay.

This is a very basic hack and slash game, more along the lines of the “Dynasty Warriors” line of gameplay but instead of wiping out just endless amounts of warriors, you are gutting hordes of the undead and with Juliet being a cheerleader, she brings a lot of flair to her style of slaying. You can stun zombies with your poms to make it easier to decapite them or you could just go all in and stab and slash them with your chainsaw and of course, you can get combos to make your job easier. To get combos, you need buy them from the shop with coins you find by killing zombies and thanks to Sparkle Hunt, something that toggle if you kill three or more zombies with one attack, it will be raining money instead of guts. The shop is also where you can buy supplies which either boost your stats or unlock new content like costumes. She does have an awful lot of costumes but if you are me, you will just unlock the Haruna costume (from the anime “Is This A Zombie?”) and roleplay as a magical garment girl. I do love this game just because the controls feels fluent which is the mark of a good hack and slash. While it’s not as tight as the DMC controls (the remake mind you), performing the combos as Juliet is very easy to do once you remember them and I can tell you now, there is nothing more than satisfying then performing Chainsaw Paradise on a large crowd of zombies although it does leave me wondering how she is spinning that chainsaw while she is doing a one handed handstand. You also get upgrades for your chainsaw later down the line which include a dash which makes speedrunning later levels easier and a cannon because apparently a chainsaw isn’t enough to kill them but these don’t even stand a chance against your best weapon: your boyfriend’s head. By using a Nick ticket, you spin a roulette wheel and get to see what you will use to stun or even kill the zombies. My personal favourite is the one where you play football with Nick because it’s not only a good way to stun a bunch of zombies for a easy sparkle hunt but the fact you are kicking the living head of your boyfriend into a bunch of zombies is just amusing to think about. The only problem I have with the gameplay (the minor one for now) is how clunky it can be at times when you get crowded. Juliet isn’t well made for massive crowds unless she taps into her tickets or her special mode which makes all her attacks into a one hit kill. The game seems like it wants to be DMC but also Dynasty Warriors at the same time so it wants tight single targeting combat and crowd killing combat and it doesn’t mesh. It’s just something that really stands out in later levels, even with the combos but enough of the gameplay, let’s talk visuals.

Visually, I think it’s suits the style of the game. The game wants to be quirky and the design they took to represent is brilliant. It’s colourful with that modern 50s styles and the fact they replaced all the gore with just rainbows and sparkles just adds to it. The models are cell shaded though and it does kind of date the look of the game and the level design can be a little too dull at times. I think the only time the game stands out in terms of setting is during the Arcade level because it actually tries to be colourful and not dark and grim. This is a game where you are decapitating as a quirky cheerleader with rainbow chainsaw and the victims are spewing rainbows and sparkles from their opened wounds. It doesn’t mesh well if you know what I mean. That’s all the compliments I have for them now so let’s make like a zombie and bite into some more meaty complaints.

I’m going to start with the massive difficulty curve. Maybe this is just me as a player since I never have been good with hack and slash games (as DMC and Bayonetta has taught me) but when you are playing the game on easy at the start of the game and it feels like you are playing hard mode, you have done something wrong. When you are starting off, you don’t have access to many crowd control combos and considering the enemies are zombies who are known for being found in large hordes, it doesn’t make for fun times. You have to balance trying to kill one zombie while dodging incoming attacks and while you can argue this is to be expected from a hack and slash, it still doesn’t take away from the fact you don’t access to any solid mass damage abilities until near the end of the game. And while I’m talking about typical hack and slash issues, boss fights. I hate them in this game because while they are great as characters, I find them dull to fight. This is mainly because they aren’t that spectacular to take down with the sole exception being the arcade level which is easily also the best level in the game. On top of being mainly forgettable, they are boring and sometimes downright confusing on how to beat them. A great example of this the first zombie lord, Zed the punk rock zombie because you pretty much need to dodge his flying Mohawk attacks while destroying his amps so you can attack him. He is not only annoying to fight but it does get confusing when he summons a stack of them and you have to take down the amps in a certain order so he can stop dropping more in. I just find him annoying and considering it’s only second level on top of being the longest one, he is just a horrible first boss.

I would also complain about the incredibly short gameplay time of 6-8 hours but I won’t because it’s perfect. It knows it would be shit if it tried to extend the runtime to something more favourable and that’s what I like about this game overall. It knows what it wants to be and it does it in almost perfect way. Everything else that I didn’t criticise about this game is perfect because Suda51 and James Gunn knew what it wanted to do with the original concept. It wants to be fun and crazy and it does it with such great style. I am also tempted to give this a perfect ten like I was with Berserk and Mars Attack but I have to acknowledge the flaws so 9/10. I really do recommend going out of your way to track down a copy of this game since it’s only been on for last console generations and I promise you, it’s worth tracking down and paying that little more if you need to. Next week might just be more manga reviews because I am going back to school to finish off my final term so the reviews maybe be a little spread thinner than usual. At least take solitude in the fact that I do own another Suda51 game but unfortunately it’s “Shadows Of The Damned” so prepared for a shitshow when I finally get around to it.

Mars Attack: Why I Love B-List (and Maybe Also Cheese)

It’s a been a while since I have done a movie review and I thought why not do my favourite movie of all time. Today, I want to talk about my favourite Tim Burton movie and what I will always consider a B-List classic, Mars Attack. I remember watching this when I was eight with my gran on our usual movie Monday and while it did scare me, it did influence me to start looking into films which lead me to become a filmmaker in high school. While I no longer have the passion to direct or star in films, It did lead me to start writing which snowballed into this. So in other words, you have a Tim Burton movie to thank for these reviews. I do still adore this movie though because the things you can do with a B-List type of movie is amazing and I adore directors who still try to keep this genre alive. I live for cheesy movies with questionable production values because you can see the blood, sweat and tears that directors shed when they try to work their best with small budgets. While Mars Attack doesn’t have the same budget as a B-List movie, Tim Burton still pays homage to that in the movie but I don’t want to keep masturbating forever so plot synopsis.

I don’t know why I am going to even try to crunch this plot into something explainable because it’s standard. Martians come to Earth, the POTUS tries to establish peace but after shooting a dove, the aliens start a full scale invasion and we follow different groups of people trying to survive and eventually beat the aliens by the end of the movie. It’s the bare bone essentials for any alien invasion plot but I don’t mind because going into this, you know this going to be a cheesy parody of a homage to the genre. Every character in this movie is a stereotype, from the dumb rednecks to the over confident president type, they each contribute fun moments to the movie. Like when the stereotypical washed out boxer type decides to sacrifice himself so these others can escape but he does it by challenging them to a fistfight so we have Jim Brown fist-fighting a bunch of CGI aliens and winning. It mocks that “Independence Day” sense of justice because the whole “Yeah, America” thing is just stupid and the movie knows it and it runs with it. It makes fun of all the types of feelings you are supposed to feel from these sort of movies and it’s fun. I mean, the aliens are eventually beaten by the rednecks playing “Indian Love Call” in a very spectacular and hilarious fashion and it treats it with a straight face. They just beat the aliens by playing a man yodelling and they doing it with a straight face. This is the standard for any B-List movie because the poor writing and overacting is what I would expect from a low budget film and it’s hilarious. Yes, I do have my complaints but I will save that for later because I want to get onto the stars of the show.

If you want me to talk about the actors, I am not going to talk about them just yet because I want to talk about the Martians because despite having no proper voice acting and just being made of CGI, they carry this whole film when the actors can’t. While each human character have their moments, the aliens are a lot more funny because they just great for slapstick and other stupid moments. What about the fact that under their suits, they are just wearing red underpants with white swirls on it and they walk around like this on their ship. What about during their first landing, they say they come in peace but after shooting a dove, they pretty much go “well screw it” and start shooting all the humans who they disintegrated until they are just skeletons. What about the fact they go running around saying “Don't run away. We are your friends” as they trying to kill them or what about they look like green shrooms and all they say is “Ack”. I can list all their best moments but that would be ruining the movie for you. I do think Tim managed to capture that same appeal that most B-List monsters have with the martians by not only making them incredibly cheap and stupid looking but also making them terrifying and they really do compliment the cheesy acting of the human actors. All the actors bring their Grade A cheese when they are on screen and it just complements the saucy base which is the martians. They know they are playing 2D flat stereotypes and they run with it. I already talked about how big man Jimmy boxed a bunch of martians in a fistfight earlier and how he brings home the cheddar with it but then we have cases like when we have Danny Devito trying to bargain with a couple of the aliens and then instantly getting shot. Another wonderful example is when the POTUS gives one final peace speech to their Martian leader when confronted with his death. Jack Nicholson does it with such confidence and cheesiness, it sounds like a real political speech that would come out of a certain cheesy whatsit. This to me is a wet dream in film form and I enjoy all of it so let’s move onto what else just adds to the charm of the movie.

Technically speaking, it’s shit which is good. For me, a good looking B-List movie is a shit looking one and this movie isn’t any different. It might of used top-end technology to create the aliens and everything else that they had to CGI but these days, it looks incredibly dated which just adds to the charm. Mars Attack is like a good aged cheese and it’s that it’s gets better with age. Apart from that, it’s well shot and edited and while I do kind of hate the frantic jumping between characters, it’s incredibly well paced for an alien invasion movie and that’s all I can say about this. As much as I love this movie, I have not much else to say about it. I have zero criticism for it and I do that’s a flaw with any B-List movie. With a normal movie, you can easily go “well this is bad because of this” but with a B-List movie, you can look at the flaws and go “Well that’s just apart of the film’s charm” and I guess that’s why I can’t say much about it. You see, writing a review for something you hate is easy because you can easily talk about why you hate those aspects but when you cover a really good movie, you can only praise what’s good and there isn’t much meat to bite into. I am having that dilemma right now because if you didn’t get it already, I love this movie including its horrendous flaws which is why this is a little shorter than I wanted it to be.

If I was being a completely unbiased critic, I would say this is an easy 5/10 film and that you shouldn’t watch it but I am not because I am not Metacritic. It’s said that you should only follow critics that share similar views or opinions with you because that way, you can definitely know what you would love and what you would hate and this logic is why I hate sites like Rotten Tomatoes because they try to generalise it for the largest audience possible so I am going to be giving my personal opinion about things as per usual. With that said, I’m giving Mars Attack 10/10 which I know I shouldn’t be throwing around so liberally but screw it. I am a B-List movie fantic and this is a just a glorious case of what the genre can achieve. If you also like B-List movies, watch this immediately. There will be nothing else that will compete with this in our entire existence on this planet. Also next week might be Naruto, I don’t know anymore. I am just very tired while writing this review so remember guys to check out my YouTube channel in the side bar and also my steam profile if you want to help me out and donate some games so I can keep reviewing games for the blog.
