I'll have you guys know, since the soundtrack of the classic Crash Bandicoot games back on the PlayStation was so legendary, I figured to listen to all of the soundtracks of all three classic games to embrace this masterpiece of a full-fledged remaster and it's PC port on the same review!

*holds breath for three whole seconds* E X H A L E

I very solidly remember growing up with the Crash Bandicoot trilogy with my sister trying our absolute DAMNDEST to have as many game sessions with her to beat all three games and consider our lives complete, now fast forward to sixteen years from 2000 so that's 2016, but at PlayStation Experience 2016 during December of said year, they announced Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back and Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, fully re-mastered in almighty wumpa fruit glory for PS4, I literally died, I could not contain my HUGE amount of excitement and tagged my sister on a Facebook post with "The Comeback Trailer". Shortly after it was revealed to everyone at the event and the entire world, I hopped right on my PS4 and went to the PlayStation Store and pre-ordered it right then and there. Okay enough background, let's get into the live-losting gameplay of these beautiful and classic three games, shall w- *dies while riding the hog in one of the most infamous Crash Bandicoot levels, Hog Wild on my last life* "FUUUUU-" Me and my sister.

To briefly summarize, these three games were made as a rival to another famous platformer series, the Mario games of course. "Hey plumber boy, mustache man, your worst nightmare has arrived!" I honestly think these games are much harder than Mario but that's just my opinion. So yeah they are purely platformers that can be notoriously difficult at times, especially the first one cause there was no real way to save your game and come right back to it the next day you play it. All of these games are fantastic, yes they're hard but they're pure masterpieces.

N. Sane Trilogy Impressions:
First off, it looks so beautifully crafted and nailed to an absolute T on the gameplay, soundtrack is downright amazing minus some songs here and there unfortunately but they gave them their best shot at composing them. Difficulty seems harder but to me not at all.

PC Port: Runs flawlessly on Windows 7 and 10, 60FPS is an absoLUTE blessing, I am extremely happy to play these games at a higher framerate than back on the PS4. It looks absolutely beautiful everywhere I go!

Final Words: I apologize for this long review but if you've never played these games, I strongly suggest playing them on the PS1 first to experience how hard these games are and then coming back to this Steam version to see every graphical and sound upgrade. It's very much worth full price.

When hell invades Earth, there must come vengeance and sheer amounts of bloodshed.

Man, this sequel to DOOM 2016 was an ab-soLUTE beast of a continuation, I started playing through the campaign on PS4 since on my old RIG I didn't pass the minimum requirements, but now since I have an upgraded RIG I made DAMN sure this was the first game I played on my new RIG, it would be a disservice as a whole if I didn't. This campaign surely will pack a huge ass wallop on your sanity, but man oh man does it pay off in the end. When all seems low in our real world, get out of said world and get on here to test your might and your will to calm you down severely. When booting up the game for your first time, the entirety of the main menu theme will throw your ears in for a good time, the rest of the soundtrack does orgasm your ears intensely, just as the same as it did for DOOM 2016's soundtrack. So what are you waiting for? . . . . . You're still here reading my review?!? GO ON AND BUY THIS GAME!

Before starting this review of this amazing port to the PC, I just want to mention that before typing it out I literally put the Halo theme songs from the original Halo trilogy (Halo 1-3 with Master Chief of course) on Spotify to a mode of repeat to encourage how much I love the Halo franchise from back in the day. Okay, enough blasting off our socks and let's throw a lucky plasma grenade to get an actual stick medal!

*deep breath* Oh man, Halo: The Master Chief Collection on Steam?!? I thought I'd never even see the light of day and darkness of night to even see that this type of game on Steam at all, but on the day of March 12th, 2019 (12 days before my birthday: sidenote.) they announced the biggest news of all in gaming history. Halo: The Master Chief Collection on Windows Store and Steam. So I thought to myself after hearing that announcement and watching the announcement trailer for PC, I literally lost my mind, I thought just after seeing the official news and video about it I was gonna lose my mind and fully go insane, but to the might that is all holy, I didn't.

NOTE: This is a general basis review of just how much of this is a good buy.

Continuing on this review, I am so very happy that they did this, and the best part of it all so far? The games so far added are great ports of the games on here, sure there's bugs to discover and see, but for the main part they run extremely well on my end. I believe they're gonna fix everything on this release after they release the remaining games as part of this collection, so don't worry guys we are in good hands, I feel it. Another really good part is they actually managed to release a game later that year of 2019 on December 3rd with Halo Reach. Wow, now that is fanservice right there ladies and gentlemen!

To finish off this review of this in general, I will be writing reviews of all of the games in the collection when I'm fully capable of doing it, so stay tuned! They will be on it's each separate page in the DLC areas.

FINAL WORDS: If you're looking to buy this game, you have the option of buying it all (It's what I did, I love the Halo franchise in general and love playing it of course.) which is $39.99 or buy them as they come out, and if you want to wait for it on sale that's fine too. The last thing I'll say is you know how I actually said "Okay, enough blasting off our socks and let's throw a lucky plasma grenade to get an actual stick medal!" Earlier before I actually got a nice lucky stick on Halo Combat Evolved multiplayer (On this Steam version, not on the original console.) on the map Wizard, what happened was I threw my plasma grenade after falling off the edge of where my flag was at a guy with our flag and I saw it actually manage to stick him and BOOM! I got the kill and stopped him from being able to score. What a toss!

POSTAL 2, where shall I begin? Oh yes, I remember playing this extremely offensive (at the time) game when I was younger and man, what a game. I love this game so damn much, it is so much fun! There's so much freedom in this game it's insane and for an April 2003 video game, that is way ahead of it's time! Without spoiling much, the weapons are all so perfect for each situation you get your inner psycho mind into! Also this game is pretty realistic for it's time as well, it's awesome seeing people react to whatever you did with such amazing results! It blows my mind to ten fold! I also think it's fantastic that the developers (Thank you RWS!) made a long awaited DLC that was an awesome expansion in recent years. (Review on that whenever I replay through all of that when I can.) Price is absolutely worth it for the game, but if you want to get it for cheap, that's completely fine too. To wrap this review of this very impressive sandbox title, this is easily my game of the year for 2003 without a doubt in the world. Do me a favor and buy this game if you ever thought about getting it, you won't regret a single bit (whether that be small or big) at all. Easily a 10/10! Also fully looking forward to buying the long awaited POSTAL 4 when it fully comes out of Early Access and when I do finally decide to upgrade my gaming RIG!

At long last.. my favorite zombie game.. of ALL time, no seriously, this is really my favorite zombie game I have ever played in my entire life, not Dying Light, not Resident Evil, it's this masterpiece of a game that has FINALLY come to PC in all of it's glory after all of these long-awaited years. So, let's see on how the PC port is, shall we? To start, oh my good lord, IT IS SO SMOOTH!! Whoever Capcom hired to make this port come alive, did an absolute fan-tastic job with bringing this game to PC.. I can call my life seriously complete now, honestly. And the pricing for this game? It's no $30, it's not even $60, it's a solid wonderful and worth it mind you, $20. Consider me SOLD! I love this game so dearly, it keeps my heart pumping. This game is nonetheless the BEST Dead Rising game in the series, I do like the other games, but the others can't beat this classic. Great gameplay, awesome main character, hell even the story is intertwined so well. I love how the story unfolds as you complete each Chapter per-se, it makes it that much more of a mystery. As I'm very proud to say, this game and it's outstanding port to the PC deserves a rating of 10 out of 10.. Please, do everyone who is a fan of this marvelous game a favor and buy this game not on sale or on sale, it's very much worth the price. This game will remain my favorite zombie game of all-time, forever and always. Before I go, a word from everybody's favorite zombie game protagonist, Frank West; "I've covered wars, you know."

It has been quite a while since I have last played this great Marvel gem, and it made me so happy to see this game, along with Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 getting the re-release treatment on Steam, PS4 and Xbox One. I'm just hoping in the next coming years we get to see our long-awaited Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. I bought the bundle immediately after it came out, though I am happy with playing it on here, I am however, not happy to see the problems that came with it, there should be exactly no excuse to see the buttons on the controller being completely screwed up and the Gold Edition DLC characters not being included at launch. But, they have been updating this game to fix the issues and add the other characters which makes me thankful because I thought for sure this game would just simply be posted and would never get an update fixing/adding the DLC characters in it's lifetime. Anyways, this game is a unique Marvel game of it's kind, absolutely amazing roster of Marvel superheroes and four villians. One last thing to mention, the pricetag of $40 for each MUA game/bundle of both of them for $60 is just ridiculous, I'd wait for a good sale to go on these two games or the bundle if you plan to get them.
