Aliens: Fireteam Elite ~ video game review

Title: Aliens: Fireteam Elite

Played on PlayStation 4

There are actually a bunch of other video game titles queueing up on my list to be reviewed, but I have to make an exception for this one, even though it's further down the line. Why? Well, the sequel, Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, was released recently, so I'm not sure how much longer the developer will support the first game. I enjoyed this game a lot, so I hope it remains playable in the future, even without developer support. Will this game be playable offline? We'll have to wait and see.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a third-person shooter from Cold Iron Studios released in 2021. The story ties into the original Alien film trilogy and takes place around 23 years after the events of Alien 3. A paid expansion titled Pathogen was later released in 2022. It's an online co-op game, though a solo mode is available with AI teammates.

Marines in Space

You play the role of a Colonial Marine on board a spaceship heading to the Katanga refinery station, which is orbiting the planet LV-895, after receiving a distress call. I don't think online multiplayer games care that much about the story, right? My assumption is that developers care more about keeping players returning to the game. Whatever the case, I still appreciate the story this game tries to tell. It complements the missions and creates an interesting narrative that flows well into the campaigns, with a few plot twists as well. The story builds off the Alien franchise and merges perfectly with the original lore, creating its own distinct branch in the universe.

The base game has 4 story campaigns with 3 missions each, plus an additional campaign from the Pathogen DLC. Some missions can be quite challenging, so if you're playing solo with AI teammates, good luck with that. Missions within the same campaign can also feel very similar, with environments that don't change much and enemies that stay roughly the same. Once you complete all the base campaigns, Quick Play and extra game modes will be unlocked for you.

K-pop Female Groups: My 2022 Top 20 Songs ~ No. 10 to 1

Let’s wrap this up! Recently I posted songs from number 20 to 11, so it's time to list the top 10 now. Can you guess which songs made it to the top of my list?

Just a quick note for everyone: there is one song released in December 2021. I actually considered songs with music videos released between December 2021 and November 2022. That's how I manage my list while charting the songs. I just wanted to put that out there in case people are wondering why that particular song is on the list.

Alright, without further delay, here are the top 10 songs.

No. 10: Starlit by UiU

No. 9: Fearless by LE SSERAFIM

No. 8: DM by fromis_9

K-pop Female Groups: My 2022 Top 20 Songs ~ No. 20 to 11

I usually have several parts for this type of post because I have a lot of songs to list; for 2021 list, I had 70 songs! So for 2022, I will only list my top 20. I'm already behind and need to catch up, so I guess it will be faster if I don't have too many songs to list. The downside, of course, is that several underrated gems will be excluded. Such a shame.

Without wasting any more time, let's start! Here are my top 20 K-pop girl group songs of 2022, and we're starting with number 20 until 11. Some of these groups might already be inactive or disbanded, but good songs are timeless, so I hope you will still check them out if you haven't already.

No. 20: GingaMingaYo (the strange world) by Billlie

No. 19: WooAh HIP by M.M.D

No. 18: Hype Boy by NewJeans

Pendragon Book Four: The Reality Bug ~ book review

Title - Pendragon: The Reality Bug

Author - D. J. MacHale

It has been a few years, but I am finally back to my adventure with the Pendragon series. It's never fun to forget key plot points when you leave a series for too long, but luckily, jumping back in is easy. There's not too many characters involved, and the plot is straightforward enough to recall without much effort. Honestly, if you need help remembering, a quick internet search will get you back on track in no time.

A quick overview, Pendragon: The Reality Bug is the fourth book in the Pendragon: Journal of an Adventure Through Time and Space series. Written by D. J. MacHale, the story follows Bobby Pendragon as he travels through different dimensions to prevent local calamities and ultimately defeat the main villain, Saint Dane.

Not a Review! Crimebound Chronicles ~ video game thoughts

No, no...this is not a review. I only review games that I finished story-wise, and usually the games that I finished are the ones that I really enjoyed. I'm sad to say that I didn't enjoy playing Crimebound Chronicles but I did finish it anyway, so I better write something about it, right?

So what should I write? Well, one positive thing about this game is that it is a pretty easy game to get a Platinum trophy, so if you want to add one to your trophy collection, this is one easy way to obtain it. Honestly, there's not much gameplay. You just keep on pressing the button to continue reading the text, and at the end you select the person who you think is the murderer. That's it. 3 separate cases, 3 murderers to choose. Other than that, there's not much to say. Well, there's actually plenty to say if I want to list down all the wrongs that I find while playing it...but I'm not doing that. No, let's just say I didn't enjoy playing it. That's all.

Let's just end here before I start saying something bad. See you guys soon in another review ya, take care!

Vampyr ~ video game review

Title: Vampyr

Played on PlayStation 4

Vampyr is an action role-playing video game released way back in 2018 on multiple platforms (PS4, Windows, Xbox One, and later on Nintendo Switch in 2019) developed by Dontnod Entertainment and published by Focus Home Interactive. Right off the bat, let me just say that I love this game. Despite its flaws, I had an amazing experience playing it and I have to thank Playstation Plus for this because I wouldn't have known the game existed if it's not included as one of their free monthly games. It's seriously an underrated gem.

A Doctor Reborn

In Vampyr, you played as Jonathan Reid, a doctor who had been turned into a vampire. You literally started off waking up in a pile of corpses, it's quite an amazing way to start a game. After running away and bumping into some new shenanigans, you found yourself a new ally named Doctor Edgar Swansea, and thus your new life begins as the new doctor at Pembroke Hospital. I really enjoyed the story told in this game. You meet a lot of interesting characters, and there's a few twist and turns in the plot as well, which keeps the story interesting and engaging.

The world and settings of Vampyr is pretty amazing. The semi-open world of 1900-era of London is beautifully realized. We only get to explore at night so the surroundings can feel a bit gloomy and drab but in a game about vampires? It's perfect. Although not so big, the map splits into several districts so there's a few places to explore and characters to meet. Talking about characters, there are a number of citizens spread across the districts that you can track using citizen menu. You can monitor the district health, see citizen's illnesses and track clues. You can decide to cure sick citizens to avoid the district from becoming hostile, or you can decide to devour them instead to gain experience points.

My Top Films for 2023

It's 2026! It's time to list down my top movies for 2025, right? Well...sadly I'm always behind in my posting. So let's go back to 2023 because that's where I'm currently at right now with my movies list. That's not too far behind, right?

How many movies did I watched in cinemas in 2023? It's only 9 movies so I can't even make a top 10 list but it's up from previous year, so at least that's an improvement (I guess). I only watched 6 movies in cinemas in 2022.

Ok, let's not waste any more time. Below is my list of films for 2023 from the bottom to the top. Let's begin.

No. 9 ~ The Marvels

Despite being at the bottom of my list, The Marvels is actually not that bad. Okay, so it is considered a box-office bomb and is currently the lowest-grossing film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) but it's still quite enjoyable to watch. It doesn't have the best story or the best villain but the three main heroes; Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel, are all great characters and by the end of the movie, I kind of liked them. Technically, I always liked Captain Marvel so it's the other two characters that I originally not too familiar with. But like I mentioned, I ended up liking them. Hopefully, despite their box-office performance, we will get to see all 3 characters again in future MCU movies.

No. 8 ~ Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

Image source from Marvel official website

Another movie which placed lower in my list but is actually not that bad. The movie served as quite an interesting introduction to Kang the Conqueror, the supposedly next big bad villain of the MCU after Thanos. With Jonathan Majors, who played Kang, out from MCU and Marvel not intending to re-cast the role, we probably won't be seeing Kang in another MCU movie anytime soon, which is a shame because he is quite a fascinating villain. While Paul Rudd will reprise his role as Ant-Man again in Avengers: Doomsday, I'm not sure when will we see the rest of the characters next.

No. 7 ~ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Image source from Marvel official website

This is quite a satisfactory conclusion to the trilogy, and the ending that involved Rocket is surprisingly quite sad. I didn't know he got such a tragic backstory. The rest of the cast, as always, was excellent and there are quite a few funny moments in the film which I loved. The High Evolutionary is quite an intriguing villain but I find him not quite memorable. The film is highly successful but I don't think you would see the same team again in future Guardians of the Galaxy film, so most probably we would see some of them in other Marvel movies instead, which is fine I guess. Time for other Marvel characters to take center stage.
