Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

Uncharted Games Ranked                 Okay so the Uncharted games are some of the best games around…but which is the best? I wont include Uncharted Golden Abyss. I have played it but I haven’t beaten it….it just doesn’t seem that good to me. Hey maybe I’ll beat it like the others one day….These games are all cinematic action adventures that play like a movie. Let’s get into it. 5) Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune (8)                 Ah the first Uncharted game. Your first introduction to Nathan Drake and company. It’s a decent game and an early PS3 game originally. The other games are just SO MUCH better. However playing this helps you understand the core characters more…specifically Drake, Sully, and Elena. The game has bad controls and hit detection too….Honestly I don’t think it’s a must play, but yes I do like it. The final b...

OMG this N.E.R.D album is really an improvement over 2010’s Nothing album. The guest spots are really well used like Rihanna on “Lemon” or Kendrick Lamar on “Don’t Do It”. The production is outstanding but the lyrics are just good. Every song is good for the most part. I wasn’t really feeling the last one that much with Ed Sheeran. “Esp” is dope as f***.  This NERD group is very much alive! Verdict: 9.2/10

Miguel comes out with another terrific album. Miguel’s lyrics and singing are great here. The production is even stronger. I really enjoyed songs like “Sky Walker”, “City of Angels” and “Come Through and Chill”. I feel the album needed more guest spots. It comes off sounding really similar to his last album, Wildheart. That’s not necessarily a bad thing either. Overall there’s not much to complain about from a guy who doesn’t have a weak album in his discography. Verdict: 9.4/10

God of War Ranked Okay I love God of War games. I have beaten all the main games, but honestly I only own 1-3 at the moment. I consider the PSP games a firm step down, and God Of War Ascension would be 4 th on this list so there you go. Let’s see which of these essential hack and slash games is the best. Also I cannot wait for the GOW reboot coming this year in 2018. 3) God of War (9.5) The first game came out in 2005. It really is a great game. I remember standing up and playing this the first time, I played it….and consequently yelling at the TV with excitement. The game has amazing gameplay and it’s very cinematic in certain parts. The quick time events are well done and honestly, I had never played a game like it before. So why is it 3 rd ? Well there’s only 3 boss fights…but each boss is very challenging. The difficulty on certain parts is almost unfair. An example would be some of the underwater sections and the dreaded tower of spikes in Hades.  The enemy v...

Eminem Breakdown Date: Early 2018 “The Real Slimshady” Rapper albums The Slimshady LP 1999 Top 3-5 Songs: My Name Is, Just Don’t Give a F***, My Fault, Guilty Conscience Album Score: Beats-3.8, Lyrics-4.2= 4 Rapper Stats: Flow-87 , Versatility-86, Relevancy-88 Rapper Rating: 87 Comments-The SLimshady LP featured a young Em, who was at the time just beginning to have popularity. The album is great, as Em paints great pictures with his rhymes. Eminem really showcases his skills throughout the album. He instantly became the best white rapper of all time. But to him, I don’t think that’s enough. The Marshall Mathers LP 2000 Top Songs: The Real Slimshady, The Way I Am, Stan, Criminal, Kill You Album Score: Beats-4.5, Lyrics-5= 4.8 Rapper Stats: F-95, V-92, R-98 RR: 95 Comments-Slim’s best album is just incredible. He storytells with the best of rappers. When he says better than 90% of you rappers out there…..maybe it was a stretch but at the ti...

Transformers 4 is a good movie but after all the hype, I feel this may be the weakest of the Transformers saga to date. The movie was like a reboot to Transformers after 3 strong films with Shia as the main character. Mark Walberg does a great job here as the new human lead.                 The movie’s plot is good but afterwards its kinda disregarded in TF5. It takes place about 4 years after the events of TF3. The rules have changed. A CIA special ops group called Cemetary Wind is hunting Autobots. Their leader is a cool dude and a convincing human villain. There’s also a new transformer villain called Lockdown who is stalking Optimus Prime. The scene that shows Ratchet get defeated by Cemetary Wind and Lockdown is pretty cool. The opening scenes with Mark’s character Craig Yeager are pretty good. He lives in Texas. He’s a struggling inventor who is trying to make money to survive and put his dau...

Taylor returns with another stellar album. She raps with a passing grade on the first song, “…Ready For It?”. “End Game” with Future and Ed Sheeran is terrific. The album is pretty gosh darn good. I didn’t feel it was quite as amazing as 1989, but really, from a technical stand point; the albums are even. Her lyrics are great too. The lead single is so dope. Overall I feel Taylor destroys fellow Pop rivals albums like Katy Perry’s latest offering. Ayo Tayluh I’m happy for you imma let  you finish, but um….yeah…lol. Verdict: 9.7/10

20) G-Eazy: The Beautiful & Damned (92)-I’m not the biggest G-Eazy fan but this is his best album. He’s dope. It dropped a bit from it’s earlier spot tho. 19) N.E.R.D.: No One Ever Really Dies (92)-If I had more time maybe this would be #15…but for now its 19. Great album from Pharrell and company tho. 18) Drake: More Life (92)-This album grew on me. Its really dope. The 3 songs in the beginning flow together so f***in well! (Passionfruit/Jorja Interlude/Get It Together). 17) Vic Mensa: The Autobiography (92)-I love this album but I wasn’t sure I wanted it till I saw other reviews. Its highly personal and introspective. He’s the future of Roc Nation. 16) Eminem: Revival (92)-This is a sequel to Relapse and Recovery. And I think it’s the best of the 3. Sure it doesn’t rank too high but it’s no this list of must listen to albums for the year. 15)Action Bronson: Blue Chips 7000 (92)-AB really killed it with this dope album. It was much better than his 2015 outing,...
