Game System Review: Xbox One S

The Xbox One S is a superior system to its predecessor. I really like how its an entertainment media center and also a gaming machine. It also can play 4k Blu Rays…..The Graphics are much improved over the original xbox also. Remember when 720p was the norm for xbox?

Controller wise the Xbox One S is really dope. The controller was redesigned to have access to a headphone jack without any extra add ons. The controller is very comfortable and it has rumble engines in the triggers. Other than that the controller is very similar to the PS4 one accept it doesn’t have  a touchpad or light bar.

Interface wise, as of now, the XBOX is better but, the PS4 makes it easier to share with social networks. The One S does multitask really well however. I have yet to really put it to the test. Broadcasting isn’t quite as easy as a PS4 but its not difficult; neither is accessing the game’s dvr.

Games make and break a system. There are some great exclusives like Gears of War and Halo….but if you’re not a fan of FPS or RPGs you might want to look elsewhere. Or maybe not, since most all games are coming out for both systems these days. However, as of today, the PS4 has better exclusives.

All in all, the Xbox One S is a great system. If you have a Xbox One already, maybe you don’t upgrade, but If you want one go ahead and buy.



The Verdict
Graphics 9.5
Games 7
Features 9
Controllers  9.5
Memory 9
.

Overall: 8.8

Tech Review: Iphone Air

 I have only had this phone for over a week but I feel the need to review it. I recently got a 512gb light gold iPhone Air. This phone is so thin. You really have to hold it for yourself to believe it. I knew when I used it at a local Best Buy I had to have it. The phone is also a modern marvel having most of the technology in the camera bump. Of course you're wondering about that camera and battery life.  Honestly the battery is decent. It gets me through the day at work with minimal charging ( I mean who goes somewhere with no charger anymore?). The camera is good too. I'm not a huge camera guy anyways. The phone's 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display is great. I really notice a difference from my old phone (iPhone 12). The phone doesn't really get that hot either which is great. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the one speaker on the phone....but honestly it's not that bad. I usually use headphones anyways. Apple Intelligence is still in beta but I think ...

Album Review: Schoolboy Q-Blue Lips

 Ok I am a big Schoolboy Q fan. I gotta say I love this album...but believe it or not what kept me from getting it till fall 2024 was that horrendous album artwork lol. I mean damn its gross! Schoolboy has some great flows and lyricism on this album. "Thank god 4 me" is absolute flames. "Blueslides" is another highlight. There's something about the song "first" that is just so catchy to me. "Yern" is also pretty hard man. The guest list is minimal but it works. The production is really good here too. The album isn't quite as good as Blank Face to me but its definitely a major improvement over his last album Crash Talk. Definitely check this one out. Lyrics 24 Beats 23 Depth 23 Tilt 23 Verdict 93

Video Game Review: Jedi Fallen Order

 I meant to review this game way back in the day when I first beat it but this is coming after my 2nd play-through. This time I played the game on hard difficulty and man was it tough. Compared to Jedi Survivor I think the game has a better story. You join Jedi padawan Cal Kestis as he escapes a scrapyard planet Bracca , fleeing from the Empire. Cal comes face to face with an Inquistor called 2nd sister. You end up fighting her a total of 4 times in the game.  The main story is Cal must help a former Jedi named Cere and her pilot Greez to find a Jedi holocron that has a list of force sensitive children to rebuild the Jedi Order. I gotta say the planets you visit are all for the most part pretty flushed out . I found Zeffo to be the main planet and navigating it is truly awful. Well I’m glad they made navigation better in Jedi Survivor. Of all the planets Dathomir (Darth Mauls planet) was by far the worst. There was tough enemies around every corner there and hard boss fights w...
