This year another installment of WWE has come to home consoles. Will it prevail against all odds or will it be down for the count?

2k Showcase:

This year’s Installment of WWE is a huge step in the right direction compared to last year’s 2k15. I will start this review by talking about the 2k showcase mode which you take on the career of WWE legend stone cold Steve Austin through his early days in ECW,WCW and WWE attitude era. When I played this mode it took me back to when I was a kid watching wrestling on Saturdays which was a great thing and was really popular in the attitude era. With all the matches you do there are special objectives to complete in order to unlock certain items whether it is attire, rings, wrestlers and title belts. In this mode you really get to relive a great piece of history in the wrestling entertainment world (The attitude era). The rivalries Stone cold had are probably some of the most memorable such as Mr. and Shane McMahon, Brett Hart and The Rock; The rock and Stone cold were the biggest superstars in the WWE at the time so it was absolutely fantastic rivalry. Once you are done with the 2k showcase you can go back to do the special objectives which unlocks more items. Even though there is only one show case in this year’s WWE game it is better than last year’s three showcases combined.

Career Mode:

Now with this year’s career mode is a huge improvement over last year’s it is not as bland and repetitive. In this year’s career mode there are a lot more customization options with your character. Once creating your character is done you jump right in to NXT and get with in the top 10 rankings for the title and along the way you get in to heated rivalries with your fellow WWE superstars especially the ones you dislike and as you win matches you move up in the ranks for the title. The only problem I have had so far with this and the rivals is that you can only fight for a title at Pay per View events and you cannot hold more than one title at a time I personally think you should be able to hold the U.S. Title and WWE heavyweight title at the same time. Now with the customization in the career mode is absolutely fantastic there are hours upon hours of customization from your move set to your entrance which is great. The career mode is great compared to last years with lots of exciting new installments it expands as a 15 year career where you fight to become a WWE legend and enter the WWE hall of fame.

Conclusion:

WWE 2k16 certainly packs a punch this year with its improved gameplay mechanics, 140 wrestlers and divas, Amazing showcase, a much improved online and career mode and customizations out of this world when it comes to rings, titles and characters. The game is not perfect though with some minor glitches during game play and some events it is noticeable and a new submission system that takes some time getting used to and wrestlers that don’t exactly look like themselves. But the game is really fun to play and exciting I am giving this game an 8 out of 10

Mad Max Review

Mad Max is a brutal and exciting game with its own story does not follow the movie’s plot. Does this game become king of the wasteland or does it get lost in the dust? Let’s find out

Story: In this game you play a Character named Max who seems like he’s mad at the world because his wife and daughter had been taken from him because of a disease that spread throughout his region which is now essentially a wasteland. In the opening scene you are hijacked by thugs of the wasteland and their leader named Scrotus attack you in the dessert they also steal your car and leave you for dead. When you come too you wonder and run in to a hunchback creature named chum bucket who comes to help you rebuild a better car called the magnum opus and from there your Adventure begins.

Gameplay: This game is a 3^rd person action adventure open world game and it is fantastic gameplay there is care combat with many weapons up your arsenal including a harpoon which dragging people along never gets old. A shotgun which you can aim at gas cans to blow up the car. There are things on your car too like spiked rims, spikes on your car and you have armor to ram cares which does a lot of damage. Now while you are  on foot Max has a brutal fighting moves the combat system is the system as in the batman games which is great because I love that fighting system it never gets old too me. But his finishers are much more brutal then batman’s it has shiv finishers, and gut shots but I loved every minute. Now the combat isn’t the only thing you do in this game you collect scrap pieces to upgrade your car and you collect project parts to upgrade forts which helps you in the long run. Also you run in to wasteland encounter’s which is people who want you to perform certain tasks within the wasteland or they give you intel on a certain camp within the region you are currently in.

Verdict: This game only isn’t only fun it’s amazing I played this game for about 3 weeks completing nearly 100% of it I could not stop playing the game once I picked it up  I never knew what was going to happen next so I could not put the controller down. You get lost in this game for hours this game is not a borrow it is not a rent it’s a must BUY!!!. With a little bit of bug issues I am giving this game a 10/10 based just on the fun I had with it the gameplay and visuals.

Batman Arkham Knight Review

The world’s greatest detective is back in an all new adventure and his toughest one yet does the caped crusader fall in this one or does he prevail against his foes? Lets find out.

Story: So in this new installment of the Arkham series Scarecrow threatens to release a cloudburst of toxin in Gotham so the people of Gotham evacuate and Batman comes in to stop him but on his way he runs in to a bigger foe the Arkham Knight.

Gameplay: The Gameplay has its old ways at its best and then some. The combat system is the old free flow combat system which we all have known to love not just this game but this game made the combat system famous. The game also has some new features such as the Batmobile which is amazing it take such a bigger role then I ever thought it would take and I loved every minute of it. The game also features some new gadgets which really come’s in handy whether it be in the free flow combat or stealth gameplay. Another feature I especially enjoyed in this game was fighting alongside your sidekicks such as night wing and robin and cat woman the option to choose to play as them during these fights was amazing and the double team take downs just jaw dropping.

One of the features I am glad they definitely improved on was the side content was amazing. I was not a fan of it in arkham city but in arkham knight I found my self getting lost in doing all the side content in the game and I loved every minute of it I never found myself bored with the side content.

Closing thoughts: When I went in with this game I didn’t know what to expect but when I began playing  I could not stop I was addicted and was putting in to about 9 to 10 hours a day it took me 4 days to beat. I loved everything about this game. There were some parts that were jaw dropping ,exciting, emotional and even a bit  scary I personally recommend if you’re a big action adventure fan or batman fan you go buy this game right now I am giving this game a 9.5/10

GOOD JOB ROCKSTEADY& WARNER BROTHERS
