Sonic Forces Review
Following the success of Sonic Mania, a game that managed to wring out the last drops of nostalgic milk from the metaphorical udder, Sonic Team attempted to the recreate the lighting in the bottle with their latest gimmick ridden addition to the Sonic canon. It’s made by the same teams that brought us Sonic Colours and Sonic Generations and while I loved these games, I can’t help but notice the lazy stink of mechanical reuse here. See colours had wisp power-ups, little aliens that grant you special abilities and Generations was a nostalgia romp through Sonic’s past. But Sonic Team here has flat-out taken these mechanics and put them in this game, as you have wisp powerups again and most of the levels are mashups of previous games.

Why I Love: 'Team Fortress 2'
Truthfully, I feel a bit guilty when talking about video games so much. I feel this way because I don’t find myself playing them as often as I once did. There’s three reasons for this. The first is that I feel as though the golden era of video games has come to an end (more on that in the future). The second reason is that gaming has become ridiculously expensive over the years, and being a student in 2017 doesn’t exactly have its financial perks.

Ubisoft Could Be Facing A Hostile Takeover, What Does That Mean For Our Games?
Ubisoft is one of the largest game developers in the business, ranking third in among independents, only behind Electronic Arts and Activision. And it's easy to see why they would be so large considering that they are behind several pivotal and beloved franchises like: Assassin's Creed, Ghost Recon, Watch Dogs, Far Cry, Splinter Cell & Rainbow Six. Yet being one of the largest or most popular companies doesn't mean that there isn't a war for control just over the horizon.
