8) Binary Domain
7) Kirby and The Forgotten Land
6) DIRT 5
5) Batman Arkham Knight
4) ELDEN RING

3. SIFU

A game where each stage is a playground where you can beat everyone up silly. I enjoyed this game from start to finish. Going forward I think games should come with cheat engine code to make it easier and more fun.

2. God of War Ragnarok

The second game delivered everything and more. The story, gameplay, combat is so much better. In the end you are left with a good emotional payout. One of the most amazing game I've played this year.

1. Vampire Survivors

Another year and another Rouge Like won my game of the year. Maybe this is my favorite genre. I love the ability to try and try again and get better over time. Plus this game LSD effects makes it a treat to watch. They just release a DLC for it but I think I'll save that for next year.

Honourable mentions

SNK vs Capcom - Match of the Millenium
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Guacamelee 2

Series

Every year I watch a lot of shows and this year is no different. The problem is I don't quite remember what I watched starting early of the year. So next year hoping it would be different.

Memorable moments and shows

• Finish Scrubs
  
• Zoey Extraordinary playlist is over but its going to live on forever in my heart
• Binge 3 Seasons of Succession
• Better Call Saul delivers one of the most epic finale
• Best MCU TV this year goes to She Hulk
• Harley Quinn Season 3 was terrific

Total series that I watch is 779 + (↓ 1211)

(UN)MEMORABLE MOMENTS FOR 2022

2022 has been a whirlwind of a ride. There are some unmemorable moments but nothing to bad

• Losing a chunk of investment money. Need to give it back
• Step father in law had a brain tumor and requires an operation
• Brother in law got married to an idiot

MEMORABLE MOMENTS FOR 2022

• Went to Hajj. That was amazing
• Gave the kids a simple yet satisfying holiday
• Manage to save a lot of money

2022 New Year's Resolutions

5. 3 Vacations this year (Techincally 3 vacations but 2 involve the whole family)

Finally. I met my best friend and we are going in and out of this awesome friendship. I am going to say that is the most impactful moment of this year. She gave so much back to me and I couldn't repay her. I wish one day I get to see her in real life. But for now I will be happy to get to talk to her everyday. This is the friendship that I am going to cherish until the day I die so yeah. This is actually the start of something really beautiful (Yes I did)

This is my Marvel Snap update

Collection Level: 1825
Cards Collected: 150
Cards Left: 57
Highest Level achieved: 91
Rarest Card: Level 4 She Hulk and Level 4 Helicarrier
Money Spend: $34 (3 Season pass and a welcome pack)   

Turning Red

A good reminder that the 90s sucks 

What is it about?
A girl cursed to turn into a red panda when she is emotionally overwhelmed 

The Good 
The story is simple and funny at the same time
The red panda is super cute 
The only one song is catchy
The final act is like an anime 

The Bad
Everyone seems to be okay with a red panda roaming around 

The Ugly 
Nothing much. Everything is resolved

After Credits: Yes

Verdict: A great movie to watch. Probably will let the kids watch this

The King's Man

The movie is dark for a spy movie 

What is it about?
The origins of the Kingsman agency.

The Good
The action is top notch 
When the spy stuff is great 

The Bad
The child in the movie sucks. You root for him and then it didn't pan out as it should be 
Seriously is like watching two different movies. The fun one and the serious one

The Ugly
Nothing much 

After Credits: Yes, maybe a sequel?

Verdict: Not a bad movie. Worth a watch 

Micro Machines 1and 2 : Twin Turbo

 A very good port 

Game no: 494
Genre: Racing  
Platform: Gameboy Color
Release Date: 2000

Basically this game is a port of the SNES version. The game is fast pace and fun to play. The only issues is a bit of slowness when you fall which makes it a bit frustrating. I finish all 25 tracks and and in the end I say it was a fun 3 days. B-Rank for me 

Death on the Nile

A murder mystery that was okay

What is it about?
Poirot returns for sequel, this time on water

The Good
The cast of characters. Everyone has time to shine 
The main character himself is a treat to watch
The mystery will keep you guessing till the end  

The Bad
Setting up the murder took a long while. Like half of the movie 
You are not engage since some scene drag on forever 

The Ugly 
Nothing much. This is enjoyable

After Credits: No

Verdict: If you like a mystery. This is a good watch 

Cheaper by the Dozen

This should have been a mini series 

What is it about?
The Remake of the classic movie 

The Good 
It's enjoyable to watch 

The Bad
Too many plotlines and it keeps jumping from one to one 
Ending is abrupt

The Ugly
They should make it a 6 episode show. It would be so much better. Too much characters needs to be develop, so little time 

After Credits: No 

Verdict: The old one is so much better

 

Vampire Survivors

This game is awesome 

Game no: 493
Genre: Action  
Platform: PC 
Release Date: 2022

This game is a bullet hell where you play as one of the heroes trying to stave of attacks from the dead. You start of with a level one weapon and slowly upgrade it to survive the horde. Your goal is too last 30 minutes (or more) and unlocking the secrets that lie ahead. 

This game is awesome. I don't know to describe it. Let me try my best. At first you are trying your best to survive but you will keep on dying. But for every death you gain gold which you can use to upgrade augments that help you to tackle the next challenge. After a while you understand the mechanic of the game is that upgrade you weapon and find the evolution that goes with the primary weapon. For example the garlic + heart at max level create a shield that sucks the life of the enemies. The thing is with max level upgrades doesn't mean you can survive. You need to think about combos to use to actually survive the game. That's all there is about the game. Nothing much. But the game with it's flashing lights and combos makes it so addictive that you just want to repeat it again and again until you unlock every thing that the game have to offer. 

The only thing I gripe is that most of the things you don't actually know what to do without a guide. But I think that is part of the game. The mystery of discovering something new makes is super exciting. Really there is nothing much that I can say that reflect negatively on the game. 

In the end Vampire Survivors is a game that easy to play but difficult to master. But once you master is, the runs can be fun and enjoyable. This will be one of the my top 3 games for this year. S-Rank for me.
