TGIF: This Game Is Fun

Well it is Friday so why not have a run down of what has been fun this week.

We start this week with an update on the Final Fantasy XV film titled ‘Kingsglaive.’ Square Enix have recently updated the Japanese site  for the upcoming title with new character information and still photos; all looking a lush as the FFXV world has been so far.

The film is expected to release just before Final Fantasy XV’s launch date (30 September) and will set the pace of what is happening in Lucis whilst Noctis & friends are on their own main storyline journey.

“SOME ARE SOLDIERS, WE ARE GHOSTS. We operate far beyond legions and armies, following our own rules. We change the fate of nations from the shadows. We are legends. We are GHOSTS.”

Ubisoft this week revealed the new trailer with showing in game action alongside information on the 4 editions of ‘Ghost Recon: Wildlands’ that will be available; which are:

  • Standard
  • Deluxe
  • Gold
  • Collector

 

 

Ubisoft also advertised that any pre-orders will receive a bonus mission set in Bolivia.

On a rather nervous note, upcoming game title No Man’s Sky, has been rumoured to have been delayed. The game was set to be released on June 21st but this seems to have been pushed back. At this moment and time it is still speculation but until official information is released, we are all in limbo as to whether this ambitious game will be delayed.nomansskylore.jpg

Now to end it with some trailers. Deus Ex just released the “Mechanical Apartheid” video:

 and Fall Out 4 releases Mod’s on Xbox One first today:

Deus Ex is much loved game on this team making it one of our upcoming games of the summer. However even more importantly, this is the first time Mods have ever been on a console system — What a time to be alive.

(Ace)Review Saturday Home (2015) Tears Flowed From My Eyes

I went home for the weekend after a long time and the first thing I did was take my niece and nephew to the cinema. They had been very hyped for this movie while I had barely known much about it. I didn’t expect much from it and man was I wrong. Without further a due let us begin.

Story

An alien race called the Boov decide to make earth their home while trying to run from another alien race which seems to hunting them down. They arrive on earth, relocate us to Australia and take residence in our homes. During all this time they think they are actually helping us because we are dumb and can’t take care of ourselves. About 3/4 of the film is spent with the main characters traveling across the world to undo a mistake that could inevitably end all life as we know it. The movie plays around with themes such as fitting in to a group, friendship, family and companionship. 

Characters

Jim Parsons aka Sheldon voices Oh. A cute small color changing Boov who doesn’t fit in with his own race. He is joined by Tip voiced by Rihanna. Tip is a brave wide eyed adventurous girl who is search for her mother.

The character development was done well enough that I actually really really cared for the characters. There is a scene which had me literally fighting my tears. It was at that point I looked to my niece and nephew ages 11 and 4 and noticed I wasn’t the only one being hit by emotion. My nephew was literally crying which I never thought he would. He likes to act like a tough guy you see. I had to hold him and tell him everything was alright as it really hit him hard. That made it even harder for me not to cry. After that I had gained a new respect for the film. It was then I knew that the movie had done a great job at making its audience care.

Presentation

The movie is accompanied by various Rihanna songs and some pretty great musical scores. There were scenes that had nothing but music playing which I thought showed how confident the makers of the film were in their sound track.

Visually Home looks really great. The Boov wiggle and giggle when they move around. One big thing was that the Boov show their emotion through the color they change to. Green for lying, red for anger etc. The scale of the locations was actually a little breath taking at some points. The effects popped and everything was detailed really well.

The voice acting is pretty good all round with Jim Parsons sounding the best. As a warning the corny and cuteness levels in this movie are very high. Some of their lines are a little cringey but they somewhat help these characters grow on you. All in all Home looked and sounded great.

Closing comments

I was skeptical about this movie because I thought it was just another cog in the wheel of family movies, I was wrong. Home is a great film with great characters and some funny jokes too. I would recommend watching this by yourself or with your family.

Score

Story : 8.0

Characters : 9.0

Presentation : 8.5

8.5/10
