Resident Evil 3 (2020 Video Game)

Another incredible RE remake from Capcom!

[10/10 · 10 April 2020]

First of all I ADORED the Resident Evil 2 remake from last year. Stunning graphics, great character designs/voice acting and incredible gameplay all came together to form the perfect Resident Evil experience. It's a masterpiece, pure and simple. The likes of which the franchise hadn't seen since Resident Evil 4.

Now here's Capcom's from scratch remake of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Does it deliver? In my opinion it does and then some. Like RE2, the graphics are beautiful and the detail within the settings and characters are truly remarkable while gameplay once again is top notch. I'm honestly very surprised at how many people have complained about the tone and pace of this one. Is it faster and more chaotic? Yes. Is it more action driven? Without a doubt. But is it still a kick ass game with plenty of replay value? 100%. I get that the game isn't as long as most of us would have liked but judging from the game we did get I couldn't be more pleased with the results. If RE2 was the Resident Evil 4 of the modern remake then RE3 is hands down the Resident Evil 5 of the two(more action driven, chaotic etc) and I love it!

Final Fantasy VII Remake (2020 Video Game)

15 years of waiting...and it delivers!

We all remember where we were in 2005 when the PS3 tech demo was shown to the world and we were all teased with something that few ever imagined would become a reality. Here we are, April 10th 2020, and the remake of Final Fantasy VII is a reality!! The graphics are stunning, especially if you have a 4K tv, and the gameplay is fluid and fun. I must admit that the goosebumps hit pretty hard once those first notes of music played over Aerith's face(and what a gorgeously rendered face it is!) and it felt like 1997 all over again!! Thank you, Square Enix!!!!

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

A hell of a time at the movies!

Fallen Kingdom is easily the best Jurassic film since Spielberg's original masterpiece.

For me it would go:

Jurassic Park Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Jurassic World The Lost World: Jurassic Park Jurassic Park III

Love that they went the horror route with this one and actually made an attempt to make the dinosaurs terrifying again. Hell, the intro is worth the price of admission alone. I went in to this sequel without any knowledge of what the plot was and I left very happy and surprised so I won't summarize it here as I hope you go with the same approach. All I'll say is that I had a great time and everyone else in the theater did as well as evidenced by the applause and cheers when the credits rolled. Can't wait for the next one because it could really be a game changer for the franchise. Hope you enjoy it!
