Halo 4






Ok gamers are you ready to take on the role of master chief again! for the fourth time! by a different studio!????  Yeah, I know the thought of a different company doing halo doesn't make any form of sense right?  WRONG!  343 has taken the Halo franchise and put love and care into it, far more so than the last couple of outings made by Bungie.
   First off the graphics.  There has been a significant bump in graphical quality, whether it be a rock canyon or space platform this game is beautiful.  The guns still look Halo-ey but there is noticeably more detail.  The indoor levels on the space dock can leave a little to be desired but the rest of the game is pretty to say the least.
  Now on to story, remember when you read that its a Halo game?  Well, then you already know the story.  Big bad aliens have been awakened and only one man...er machine..er wait no hes definitely a man!  He speaks and shows a small amount of emotion this time around mainly to his malfunctioning A.I best friend Cortana.  Shes ill and shes fucking everything up!  Now after playing 4 games with her I can honestly say ive grown attached and have fond memories of cortana, but come on!
  Multiplayer is great but with COD BO2 (WTF?)  hitting store shelves a week after you have to wonder how long it will stay on the top spots.  Overall the game is great well worth the time and money spent on it.  Be weary though unless you plan on playing the spartan missions the game is short!  Like 6 hours short.  Either way play it! rent it! buy it! steal....borrow it!

The Golden Age of DLC

Image
DLC is one of biggest and best things going on within the gaming industry....Financially speaking at least.  I myself am very mixed on it.  On one hand I remember and long for the days of, when you bought a game you were buying a complete package.  On the other hand DLC gives developers more time to focus on their creative efforts.  If a DLC comes out that is a true expansion to the game, as in more content that further enriches my game play.  I'll buy it.  What I don't buy into are the things like the season passes.  I have issues with these because the season pass to me is nothing more than a cash cow.  Its grown especially ridiculous with the call of duty games.  Why am I paying an extra 60 dollars for 16 new maps?  Some guns, maybe some cool extinction levels...yeah all right sweet!  Thank you for making me pay more for shit that should have been in the game in the first place! There is always the ar...

Volbeat Seal the Deal

Image
  I'm not going to write a huge review of this album.  Also, know that I was a huge Volbeat fan for a long time. With that said, this album is fucking terrible.  I thought this was going to happen to see as the last album was on the softer side but still had redeeming qualities.  This new album is a product of shit.  It is not heavy and when the thrash guitar starts it is on a higher chord and it is akin to 80s hair metal more than modern metal. This album is one pop/rock piece of shit after another.  His vocals are clean and whiny and frankly previewing the album hurt. A band I've enjoyed for so long making a fucking Fallout Boy album.  Ugh, what a disgrace.  This album appeals to women, not men.  It's soft and fragile like a painful shit you took an hour ago.  It just floats there among the wreckage wondering what it could have been.  I won't review each track because frankly, I don't want to listen to the album enough to ri...

Powerman 5000: Builder of the Future

Image
  Powerman 5000 is one of those bands that really isn't that great.  Which don't get me wrong, I'm still a fan.  The problem is they really only have two listenable albums.  First is of course, "Tonight the Stars Revolt" which is their best. (if you'd like to see a review of that album let me know) Lastly their new album is their second best.  Here's the thing though.  I don't love this album, but I find myself throwing it on all the time.  Its a refreshing twist for them.  You get kind of the best of both worlds that is Powerman 5000.  You get this electronic robot sound, and you also get the crunchy guitars and the almost pop punky rhythms.   The album is much softer (less metalish) than "Tonight the Stars Revolt".  This however isn't a big deal.  So lets begin. The thing about this album is it starts with a bang.  With Invade, Destroy, Repeat, you get a heavy almost punkish vibe.  The gui...
