Video Game Review: Gears of War 4

Welcome.....to the Xbox side....lol....this is the game that really got me to buy the Xbox One(S). And I blazed through it! I wont deal much with story and such but I will talk about how I felt about this game.



Gears of War 4 is a third person shooting game, and a damn good one. Its really all about action as you blast your way through robots and alien swarm. The latter being much tougher to beat imo. Its a squad based shooter, which means you're rarely ever really alone....in fact I think you're usually surrounded by 2 or 3 other squad mates....

The game looks great and the voice acting is funny. Weapons like the Gnasher and Custom Lancer are terrific. If you die (without being blown up or crushed), a squad mate can revive you. You're expected to do the same because if anyone dies you'll lose. Luckly I found Ally A.I. to be really smart. They take cover, revive you and provide covering fire. It's similar to what I saw in Uncharted 4.


Enemies come in various sizes. There's regular robots which are easily dispatched of...then a heavier type. Then theres these flying things that have shields that can be weakened. Then you face robotic helicopters. The funny thing about this game is the enemies are all given names by your squad....Then theres alien hordes which you first encounter are little annoying f***s called Juvey's. Then you face a soldier type with guns and a heavy type of that form. Then theres alot of other really big ones. The final boss was pretty easy....but only killable due to a certain advantage you have at the end of the game.....



Overall I really like Gears. Its not a long game but its a ton of fun to play. The multiplayer modes are also great. Theres Horde mode which is a survival mode. This is one game you need to check out if you own an Xbox ....

Verdict: 9.1/10

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...

Album Review: Clipse- Let God Sort Em Out

Well I didn't rush this review, I've had some time to sit with this album. It's a hell of a comeback album. Pusha T and Malice are deadly as ever on the mic. The album lyrically is intense. Production is pretty good too but I expected slightly more from an album produced entirely by Pharrell Williams. Speaking of Pharrell, he's all over this album...sometimes not just relegated to a hook. The album gets off to a great start with "The Birds Don't Sing" where both brothers talk about their parents who passed. Pusha T raps about his Mom. Malice about his dad. I really liked the vibe of "All Things Considered"; the The-Dream feature is good. That brings me to the features....like a monster one from Kendrick Lamar on "Chains & Whips". Tyler the Creator does well on "P.O.V.". Nas is on the 2nd last track and he does well too. "M.T.B. T. T. F." is fire, and it stands for Mike Tyson Blow to the Face lol. Ultimately its h...
