H2O man

Right so lets get this out the way, I'm not the biggest fan of DC right now. The are like that abusive partner that keeps telling you that it will do better and it will change, but keeps disappointing you and beating the hope out of you. However every now and then it does something that restores your faith in the relationship, only to go off and ruin it again. Aquaman is the third part of that tale where you see hope in the relationship but all your friends are telling you they are just going to fuck it up again. In terms of redemption however, DC hasn't done a bad job. Following on from where Justice League left off, we follow the home coming of Arthur Curry as shit is about to head south in his home town of Atlantis and he has to fix because a red headed pair of bouncy cleavage told him to, and like every man out there he has two brains but only enough blood to power one, so he follows her, fulfilling his destiny and restoring order and.........sorry fell asleep there for a second. The plot is predictable at best, even if you haven't read the comics, and the movie relies mostly on the action and the lustful attraction to Jason Momoa for the lady fish and Amber Head for the men fish. If any movie reflects that bullshit the comic book industry has been pulling for years it's this one, making the male characters look like a brick house with the personality of one, and their females like a sign post with two beach balls taped to it. The movie however is good, not great but in no way taking the brown medal at let's fuck up a movie franchise awards that DC seem to be taking center stage at. You can obviously do worse than Aquaman, and with Shazam to feature in the next few weeks, perhaps DC are changing their ways, but I remain skeptical and like the partner that what's it to do better but also has to look out for his own interests, will be looking up the skirt of it's rival who rival that knows how to treat you right. PS End Game don't fuck me up to hard.

With great games, come great reviews.

Marvel's Spider-Man was my game of the year. I know a bold statement to make at the beginning of my blog (not considering that most game reviewers made the same statement) but fuck it I'm going for it. Insomniac really out did themselves with this one. Spider-Man 2 on the PS2 was one of my all time favourites games, and although it was a movie tie in game, you could basically wave good bye to the main story (to a certain degree) as you go around swinging around the city laughing at the people who don't have the decency to develop web shooters. It says a lot about the game when the mechanics to get from point A to point B is better than pretty much everything else in the game. I remember that I lent this game from a friend for a week and tried to come up with a excuse to not return it. However i eventually returned the game because he was my best mate and I wanted to lend games from him in future. He was robbed in the near future and the Spider_Man game was taken. About a week after I managed to get another copy from some one and when I told my friend I was playing it, he thought it was his copy and was so happy. I had to break his heart however telling him the truth but the response sums up the feeling most people had for this game. But after time the Spider-Man games haven't really captured that same feeling. Until now. The game starts you off right in the middle of a mission taking down one of Daredevil's main villains but this is the Marvel universe where villains are passed around like a smaller member of the prison cell. You been Spider-Man for a while and the better know of the naughty men trying to make a fashion statement have be established. Naturally the removal on Kingpin makes another business man bored with golf, and deciding to take up a new hobby to eye New York and try a few pick up lines on it. This leads to a new villain that was in the photography club at school come along and start to take his revenge on the city...you know that old chest nut. The game itself was fantastic to play. As soon as a new reason came along to avoid the main story line like challenges or tokens, I took it. The re-imagining of the characters is welcoming and still kept to the original just like using Spidney's new suit. However if you are against change, no problem you can use the old suit. Unlocking all the suits was the main goal I wanted, New York's safety could wait. The suits included almost every armoured suit and the ghost rider suit which is exactly how it sounds...amazing. The one little crack in a otherwise great game, is the DLC. The downloaded content continues were the main story left off up trying to repair the damage main to the city and another the main story was fantastic, the story for the DLC starts off great...but then just kind of falls apart it's like the like the story team partied so hard after creating the main story but then came to work the next day with massive hang overs, they relied on the sober drive of the team how was responsible for making the coffee starting taking over. Similar to this blog actually.

Did I not post the whole 2018?

Right my loyal readers, I have been absent for some time...but I want to get back to it...lets see how well that goes.
