Call of Duty: Vanguard | Review Update

It's been a long while since I reviewed or posted anything. If you've been following me on Twitter you'll know of my struggle with a serious drug resistant infection that has lasted over a month. That, and the passing of my Mother who had stage 4 small cell lung cancer. Between trying to survive the infection, and being there for my mother I had no time for anything else. I even spent 5 days in a hospital right before my Mother's passing. It's been hard, and has not been easy returning to the usual routine. Just know I'm better than I expected I'd be, and that my health is on the mend.

Clockwork Aquario | PS4 Review

Welcome to the review of a 30 year old retro game that almost didn't see a console release. A Westone point focused platformer known as, "Clockwork Aquario". A game meant to be a SEGA release inspired by the Monster World games of yesteryear. Shelved in the early 90's, and almost forgotten, ININ Games in conjunction with Ratalaika Games finished, polished, and released this product with all the features fitting of their latest retro re-releases. You get six modes of play, a gallery, and instant access to the game's original soundtrack as well as it's remixed soundtrack. Host to 3 cartoony characters, and their fight against a fishy mastermind the game comes to life in the most vibrant of ways. With levels of lesser enemies in place for maximum point combos, as well as extra life opportunities, health refills, and a star powered power-ups. It's a short lived adventure where score matters, and how you take out the enemy equally as much.
