Thrak Attack

 Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure! Well we made it through 2020 and one of the best aspects this year was the amount of video games that were released, and the amount of time I could play those games! The video game industry was one of the few that benefited from this year. Full disclosure on this list, I couldn't get my hands on either of the next generation consoles but I did get to play a lot on Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, and Google Stadia. I will also not be including any rereleases (sorry Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D All-Stars, Persona 5 Royal, and Xenoblade Chronicles) So without anymore rambling, here are my Top 10 Video Games of 2020 10. Watchdogs: Legions (Stadia) is a great concept that didn't deliver. I love the beginning of the story and I love where the story went but something stopped me from enjoying the game from having an entire city to explore and the chance to recruit anyone but it doesn't take long to realize that it's the sa

 Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This was a quiet month for the blog. Let me first address the elephant in the room... I saved up and tried my hardest to get ahold of a Playstation 5. I went 3 times at 5 am to secure a preorder with no luck. I was out of town for Black Friday and wasn't able to secure one. I am very disappointed with the culture and society we live in for the scalpers and bots buying all the systems to make a profit. It's sad that I couldn't get ahold of one and think of the kids that will have trouble getting some for the Christmas. It's a sad world that we live in but eventually and I will be doing late reviews of the PS5 and the games that I will play. My top 3 are Bugsnax, Spider-man: Miles Morales, and Demon Souls. I will get to them eventually and hopefully sooner rather than later but for now, let's review the few things that I did get to this month! 3 albums and switch game!  4. " CYR" by Smashing Pumpkins

Welcome back to Thrak Attack, what's your adventure? This week's adventures took us to the movies, a video game, and another Scary Pockets album! There's also one bit of news and a trailer to talk about, so let's get started! NEWS! -Spider-Man will be returning to the MCU! Disney and Sony finally made a deal! But part 2 of this news is that Kevin Feige will be moving to start work on a Star Wars project. TRAILERS Frozen 2 looks like a great sequel to a great story. The first one reached global success and is one of the most successful animated films of all time! The next one seems like a logical next step for the story and characters. I am very excited to see where this movie takes us and the struggles these characters go through next. REVIEWS! Downton Abbey is the film that will wrap up the story of the 6 season TV show. I have never seen any of the show so I was going into this film completely blind and it wasn't as bad as I thought. I thought the movi

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventure takes place on three different fronts. The video game front we have indie game exclusive to the Nintendo Switch titled "Cadence of Hyrule", on the movie front we have a movie that should not exist titled "Toy Story 4", and on the music front we have the third Raconteurs album titled "Help Us Stranger". There is no news this week due all of the content released this week! So with all of that out of the way, let's get started! "Cadence of Hyrule" is an indie game from the studio that brought us "Crypt of the Necrodancer". It is a rhythm based RPG featuring characters from the Legend of Zelda series and the player is forced to move and attack to the beat of the music. As a percussionist, I thought this would be an easy experience but I was so wrong. It is extremely difficult to traverse the land while battling only moving to the beat. The issue is whe

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! And Happy Halloween! It's such an amazing and fun time of year and a LOT of stuff to get through! But before we get into that, the question of the week is What was you favorite halloween costume. My senior year of high school I was the Joker from the Dark Knight and it was a custom-made costume. Let us know what your favorite costume was! Let's get into the news! NEWS! - Fallout 76 will have micro transactions; I will not be buying any because I already paid money to buy the game. -Playstation Classic is missing some great games such as Spyro and Crash Bandicoot! They just remastered both games so I'm assuming it's a financial move. -Wreck-it-Ralph and Vanellope are going to get new Meet and Greets at both EPCOT and California Adventure. -Rhett and Link are kicking of Vidcon in London with a live concert! These guys can do no wrong in my book. -Adi Shankar is rumored to produce a "Legend of Zelda Show". I don't understa
