Don't Revive Your Friends

In a world of remastered classics, one that I have weirdly wanted for some time now has been the Lunar series. Well, I must have gotten ahold of some magic wishes or something because during the Sony State Of Play today, Lunar Remastered Collection was announced. One of my first ever collector's editions of a game was for Lunar 2: Eternal Blue. I used to listen to the soundtrack and watch the voiceover outtakes ALL the time so I am pretty excited for this one! Lunar Remastered Collection will have some new features for modern day like widescreen support, enhanced pixel art, HD animated cutscenes, and all-new English voice acting. You will also have the ability to speed up the battles which seems to be a standard for remastering some of the older turn-based RPGs.  Enjoy the trailer below! Lunar Remastered Collection launches on PS4 and PS5 in the Spring of 2025!

Franchise mode is the greatest thing since sliced bread 🍞 It doesn't matter which sports game it is, I can sink countless hours into franchise mode. I love crafting blockbuster trades, signing free agents in the offseason, and drafting fake rookies. There is something alluring about taking over all these operations of the club, and bringing home the championship trophy.  Luckily for me, I can do all this in NBA 2K25, as it has the most fleshed-out franchise modes in all current sports games. The level of customization is insane. If I really wanted to, I could move the Oklahoma City Thunder back to Seattle, make their jerseys pink, and insert myself as the head coach. If I wasn't feelin' the 2024-25 season, 2K also give us the ability to start a franchise with a team from the past from certain eras. For example, I could also take control of the 2010 Trail Blazers from the LeBron Era and play with an injury-free Brandon Roy and Greg Oden. I mean how cool is that!? While fran...

Looking for a good way to cozy up and let a bunch of demons loose in your household? Have no fear (or do because some of these are creepy) as Don't Revive Your Friends has some recommendations to up the scare factor in your life. 1. Outlast Outlast relies on the limitations of batteries to really get your heart racing. There is no real combat in this game but plenty of jumpscares and creatures to have you running through the halls of this prison all the while trying to report and solve a mystery of "What the hell is going on here?" It's definitely creepy and has made me pause a few times to keep my panic attack at bay. 2. Resident Evil 7 I know there are newer Resident Evil games out there. Remakes and Village, but there is something absolutely so terrifying about 7. The whole family concept of killers reminds me of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies. The whole vibe here will certainly give you the creeps and have your heart racing throughout the story. 3. Little Nigh...

Over the weekend, Amazon Games let us enjoy the open beta for New World: Aeternum. Over this same weekend, I have discovered that this is exactly the type of MMO I have been looking for on consoles. With already established titles such as Elder Scrolls Online and Black Desert, both of which are great in their own ways, I still felt something was missing. I am not sure why, but New World reminds me much of my first time playing World Of Warcraft way back in 2004. I'm old, okay? So let us jump into some of the good and some of the bad and get an answer on whether or not you should play New World at launch. Beta Blockers I think betas are great. They're great for server load tests, bug fixes, and players get a chance to mess around with the game and decide if they like it. When I first loaded up New World (I have not played on PC previous to this) on my Playstation 5, I did not know what to think. The character creator was alright but I couldn't help but notice the lack of det...

NBA 2K25 is HERE and while the virtual currency (VC) problem still rears its ugly head, it is clear that 2K is looking to make sure we all get back to the game that we love. Improvements all around bring together a great experience in the basketball world that are only slightly bogged down by not spending enough. I played well over 25 hours of NBA 2K25 and dove into the majority of each and every feature in the game. While some things feel the same such as Play Now, huge overhauls of MyCareer and MyTeam have breathed new life into the series. The City Life For Me One of my favorite revamps this year is with The City. Not only is the map a LOT smaller (a great thing) but it allows very easy access to courts, matchmaking, and storefronts. The coolest thing is that literally every building you see has a purpose. Whether you are wanting some new threads, or needing to defeat a boss in a streetball battle, they're all VERY close to eachother. No more walking to 7 minutes to your next de...

If you haven't already heard, developer Firewalk has announced that Concord will be taken offline on September 6th, 2024. Refunds will be issued for anyone who purchased the game. This comes just two weeks after the game's release. While early reviews and previews actually had some decent things to say about Concord , a lot of gamers felt it was just "too much like Overwatch with nothing new." This goes to show how loyal gamers already are to established series and whether or not that is to a fault is starting to rear its head now. Concord was reported to take over 8 years in development and cost millions to make. A lot of time, effort, and money went into building this world and experience. For a game with some quality opinions to be shut down a few weeks after release and not JUST because of the gameplay, is quite interesting. I absolutely feel for the people who took the time to work hard and create a video game as we all know it's not easy by any means. But I...
