Super Mario World 2- Yoshi Island

A great game but the mechanics not so much

Genre: Platfomer
Platform: SNES 
Release Date: 1995

Mario is now a baby and is up to the Yoshi to help him navigate the island. This game is fun I can say. The visuals are great and also there are a lot of interesting gameplay mechanics that you can do with Yoshi. Yoshi can turn into different vehicles that are fun to control. The bosses are unique as well. The only problem I have with this game is that you can loss in a stage where you don't know where to go. Just going round and round until you figure out where to go next. The good part about that is that you don't have a timer but in the end you just be frustratingly loss. Oh and everytime Yoshi get hit. Baby Mario will fly away which adds to a level of annoyance of finding him back. Played the game until level 3 after that I am done. I give it a C-Rank

The Green Knight

This is how legends starts 

What is it about?
It's a story about ones promise to someone 

The Good
The story is slow but it actually helps to build character
The story takes a great turn at the end 
It shows one struggle to fight his inner demons 

The Bad
Really the story is slow. There will be some parts you don't quite understand what is going on.

The Ugly
They talk in riddles 

After Credits: Yes? No? I don't know. There is a scene but I don't know where does it relates too

Verdict: It is not for everyone but it is an interesting movie 

Super Castlevania IV

A classic 

Game no: 462
Genre: Action
Platform: SNES 
Release Date: 1991

You play a Simon Belmont a vampire hunter off to face Dracula. The game is very linear with you needing to go from point A to point B before the timer runs out. You have classic Castlevania weapons such as a knife, boomerang and holy water. The bosses are challenging but once you get boomerang it is a piece of cake. The only problem I have with this game is that one wrong move can you send dead falling down a cliff. The platforming needs to be precise but the controls seem stiff. I played 80% of the game and watch the last 20% on YouTube. This game is one of the best on the SNES. A-Rank for me 

Stunt Race FX

 Amazing graphics for a SNES game

Game no: 461
Genre: Racing
Platform: SNES 
Release Date: 1994

A 3D racing game with very impressive graphics for it's time. You have three cars to choose each with different stats. The funny thing is the smaller car has the worse speed and handling. There are racers and stunt courses. The racers are fine. Straightforward. The stunt racers however are super difficult due to having a timer. Finish all the racers and call it a day. I give it a B-Rank since it's an ok game. Nothing to exciting 

Street Fighter Alpha 2

This game is amazing if you see the youtube in making it

Game no: 460
Genre: Fighting
Platform: SNES 
Release Date: 1996

This is a different timeline version of street fighter. Or maybe a prequel. Really I have no clue. There are 20+ fighters each with its own distinctive fighting style. What is different than previous games. Each fighter has it's on super meter which can be executed into super moves. Controls are tight. Gameplay is fun. This is a very enjoyable game. No complaints. It a very good game. Played one round and that's about it. I give it a B-Rank since it's a fighting game so it's best to be played with someone else  

Power Rangers Zeo - Battle Racers

 This is a fun racing game 

Game no: 459
Genre: Racing
Platform: SNES 
Release Date: 1996

This is a different take on the power rangers. Usually it is a beat em up but this time they made it into a racer. You can choose 5 different racers each with their own stat. It uses the mode 7 SNES graphics so the tracks really feel a lot like mario kart. The racing game is fun and that's about it. I finish the gran prix. I give this game a B-Rank because it was entertaining 

Power Drive

An isometric rally game

Genre: Racing
Platform: SNES
Release Date: 1994

This is basically a racing game where you have two cars to choose from and you race in a couple of dirt tracks. What do I like about this game? The racing is quite good. But other than that nothing much. It is just a simple racer. There damage points are so high that by the 3rd race you don't have enough money to pay for the repairs. .So that means I just finish the game until the 3rd race. I give it a D-Rank. You shouldn't play this 

Snake Eyes

 I can see why this movie flop 

What is it about?
The origin story of one of the most awesome GIJOE character

The Good 
Action scene is not bad 

The Bad
The story is quite bland 
The Joes make a cameo but it doesn't make any impact

The Ugly 
I think it was meant to be a trilogy but don't think there would be another one
Only wore the suit at the last 2 minutes 

After Credits: Yes

Verdict: It was an ok movie 

Reminiscence

A love story at heart 

What is it about?

In the future and the earth is going down the drain. People use machines to relive the best moments in life

The Good 

The story gets interesting after the big plot twist 
I like the tech. Seems interesting 

The Bad
It is very long winded and it all ties together in one big bowtie 

I didn't like the ending but it a good way to end things 

The Ugly
Nothing much 

After Credits: No 

Verdict: Enjoyable, worth a watch 

Prisoners of Ghostland

What the heck did I just watch 

What is it about?
Nic Cage needs to travel to the land of the dead to get someone 

The Good
I like Nic Cage

The Bad
Everything else. This movie doesn't make sense. 
The script is incoherent
The story is all over the place
The visual is either you hate or you like it. And I don't like i t

The Ugly
Why does everyone talks like they are 6 years old?

After credits: No 

Verdict: Don't watch this  

My Son

This movie screams of limited budget 

What is it about?

Parents desperately trying to find their son after being kidnapped 

The Good
The movie is fast paced even in a slow setting 

Scotland is not bad

The Bad
Scotland is not bad (well I have to say it twice)
There is a B plot that is not explained because it just give more answers then questions 

The ending 

The Ugly 
Scotland's weather 

After Credits: No 

Verdict: I enjoyed it.  

The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard

There is no point of this movie 

What is it about?
A bodyguard who lost his license needs to figure out what to do next 

The Good
There are some funny jokes 

The Bad
The story is just not that good. It serves to just move the plot forward
Some of the scenes are just plain dumb

The Ugly
How bullets don't hurt any of the main characters 

After Credits: Yes

Verdict: An entertaining movie. 

Knack 2

Well it's a better sequel 

Game no: 458
Genre: Platformer
Platform: PS4 
Release Date: 2017

You play as the polygon shape changing hero Knack and it continues the story from the first game (which is weird since the first game didn't have a continuation to it) The gameplay is the same from the first game but a lot of improvements from the first game. Now you cubes can be summon after you become small which plays a lot on gameplay. You can't attack when you are small knack. The minimum height is around 5 feet (they have a display of the height this time which the max is 33 feet) There are a lot of puzzles on which if you get stuck on for a long time there is a hint system that shows you step by step on what you have to do. There is a skill tree now which boost your attack skills but its too long to get. The graphics is a bit different from the first game. Gone are the cartoony look and now it's a bit more realistic graphics. Knack still looks the same though. Combat is fun as ever in which you need to use multiple combos to beat a lot of different enemy types. There are also vehicles segments which is fun to ride. Your knack abilities are back where you can absorb other elements.   

There are a couple things that I didn't like. The skill tree takes forever to build up. I think this game meant to be played twice. The story is okay and also spends multiple months which is strange for a game. There is a scene where you are stuck for 4 months. In the end the game is just a nice game to play. I played this game until the end credits and I give this game a B-rank which is good enough to entertain you. 

The Jungle Cruise

 Disney done it again with another ride movie 

What is it about?
Explorers in search of the tree that can cure anything 

The Good
The movie is surprisingly fun to watch 
The Rock is funny or tries to be funny in this one 

The Bad 
The chemistry between The rock and blunt doesn't quite work or it looks weird 
The brother is there just to be annoying 

The Ugly
Why do they need to have bad guys in this which I don't understand the backstory about

After Credits: No 

Verdict: An enjoyable movie from start to finish   

Jolt

This movie pacing is weird 

What is it about?
A girl who gets agitated when she gets angry 

The Good
Action is great
Movie is fast

The Bad
The plot sucks 
The ending sucks

The Ugly
Nothing much

After Credits: No

Verdict: Don't waste your time  

Gunpowder Milkshake

Netflix movies are based on an algorithm

What is it about?
An assassin for hire got caught up in a mess than is over her head

The Good
Fight scenes are awesome 

The story is easy enough to understand 

The Bad

The story is bland and it is just a cookie cutter experience on what is hot right now

The Ugly
Nothing much

After Credits: No

Verdict: It's an okay movie. Nothing special   

Cruis'n Blast

This game is bonkers 

Game no: 457
Genre: Racing
Platform: Nintendo Switch 
Release Date: 2017

A game based on the N64 classic which is based on the arcade game that makes it onto the switch. This is the most over the top racing game I've played. The tracks are just a point A to point B excursion. During the race you can collect cash and keys (which is used to unlocked new cars) Also you can boost which is used to knock other cars. This game is bonkers crazy. The tracks are based on real world locations but there are themes in it such as, dino, helicopters, ufo and such. The track switch (no pun intended) from on top to a breaking underground track and goes back up to the sky. Everything is covered is neon and brightness so you are overloaded with a lot of visual sensory. The cars are also something fun in this game. You have the real life cars and also the weird stuff such as a Triceratops, Helicopter, Unicorn, and even a Fire Engine. They all play almost the same so there is no incentive of getting them. 

'The things I do not like is that everything is block with a paywall. Where you need to play and get cash and discover keys to unlock new cars. The thing is after the 5 tracks (with slight variation) There is nothing much you can do and the game gets boring quickly. I did finish all 5 tours and got a couple of unlock cars. Overall I will give this game B-Rank. I think it will be fun playing it with others
