Austin Eruption

There's a trilogy of licensed games that I've always been fascinated by and now's the time to talk about it! Activision has a controversial history, especially as of late. But their licensed games are definitely some to be missed. Before crypto, we had Korra, TMNT and Transformers!

Here we are in 2022 and I'm talking about James Cameron's Avatar - The Games. Plural because theres 5 of them. 5 totally different games all sharing the exact same branding that released on the same week. SO, HERE WE GO. Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS and Mobile x2 LETS GO.

It's time for Bad DC and Batman Games! Be it comics, movies, or cartoons these old superheroes have been in MANY video games... and well, I decided to sweep the bottom of the barrel. Why? Because I have weird taste. So join me for licensed comic book games from the NES all the way to today! No Switch though. They got better after Arkham, weird.

Forgotten Sega Dreamcast games! This ain't Nintendo, this ain't Playstation 5, this ain't Elden Ring. We're going back and looking at one of my favorite video game consoles ever because I'm a weirdo who needed a bit of extra time with a Babylon's Fall video. Please enjoy the Eggs of my labor??

Babylon's Fall for the Playstation 5, 4 and PC. I've done it, I've gone and beat the whole game and almost all of the first season because VIDEO GAMES. No but seriously, this one of the most challenging videos I've done in a hot minute becuase the sheer scope of the story slowly opening up. I'm sure it's going to continue to evolve, but I hope you enjoy what I made so far.

Bad Games in Good Series. Your DMC2, Dragon Age 2's. From the 80s to now with the PS5! It's not too uncommon for a gaming franchise with a lot of prestige to accidentally end up with a stinker, and that's exactly what this is about. Is this an excuse for me to talk about Phantasy Star? Maybe??

Grand Theft Auto 5 is the second highest selling game of all time, but that makes sense considering PlayStation 3, PS4 and PS5. Rockstar's really been milking this thing for generations now, haven't they? Well, there's hardly been any Clones in the mean time, but for years there were! I know not all of these are forgotten. But Youtube likes sensationalism so I'm sorry. Also I think Vice City is my favorite.

Good Disney Video Games! From the 80s to today, there's always been licensed Walt Disney video games. On every Nintendo, Playstation and Xbox you can think of. PS5 one day! No more bad! Well, I decided since we have tackled the bad ones that we'd do a long awaited video and dive into some good stuff. I think we've been... playing the no fun stuff lately, so it was time to enjoy the good.

From the NES to the Playstation 5, Switch and Xbox, rare games becoming liquid assets that hypebeasts treat like crypto or NFTs and that totally sucks. No one should have to pay more than original retail for a video game but HERE WE ARE. SO I'm taking a look at a few the Rare and Expensive and even obscure video games that have caught my eye in recent times. Emulate, baybay.

Forgotten and Weird Games! This time starring Sony's PlayStation... 3! Not the PS3, no Nintendo Switches and definitely no dumb NFTs, we're all about games, some of which DEMAND physical discs.

Konami, Metal Gear Solid and Hideo Kojima. A Playstation original trio made... well, not in heaven these days. Love me some metal gear as most do, but I decided that I wanted to really find out what Metal Gear Survive is. NOT played on my PS5 though because those trophies are nightmare. *May or may not be a "true" 100 percent but Youtube like sensationalism so i sry

Fake Anime Video Games, or also Western Games with a Japanese Anime influence! From Nintendo to Microsoft, from PS5 to Nintendo Switch, the "How to Draw Manga" almost bootleg style has left an impact. Nowadays it's nearly impossible to tell the origin of art comes from, but in games you can! Let's just say, they don't make em like this anymore...

Diablo Clones and Rip-Offs!! Now that Diablo IV is on the way, time to dig into Action RPGs of all sorts. As new as PS5 or as old as... Windows 95, there's been Diablo Clones just about as long as there's been Doom Clones. And you KNOW me saying this is gonna upset someone, but real ones know it's an all encompassing term that can be "inspired by", "ripped off" or "video gamed". Idk its late i've been up all night please enjoy this video that is NEARLY 40 MINUTES LONG.

Marvel, Sega and video games! The MCU is getting old like the PS3. No PS5 games though? You'd think with the Marvel cinematic universe and superheroes being as high grossing as it is that we'd get more video games on them, but that's unfortunately not really the case. Avengers, anyone? But once upon a time, we did. This is about that. A self inflicted retrospective.

We got PS5s, Xboxes, the Nintendo Switch and I still can't play Kirby's Air Ride or Mario Galaxy 2 on modern consoles. What's with that? There's countless titles now inaccessibly on modern hardware, and that's not fun. Digging out an old xbox only for the disc drive to fail and the signal to look extremely dark or crunchy isn't ideal, and it's crazy we don't have a lot of these games on things made in the 21st century.

The Nintendo Gamecube has a smaller library of games, but still has a lot of cool gems and forgotten obscurities that time's leaving behind. LET'S DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.

Horror Video Games... for Cowards. Happy Halloween! No matter the system, Playstation 5, Nintendo Switch or Xbox whatever, scary, spooky, horror games have always been there. But some of us ARE Afraid of the Dark. Like me. So I made this video chronicling a bunch of games for the easily startled that you should check out and share with your weaker friends. We'll appreciate it, I promise.

AAA, Triple A video games, whatever you wanna call it have become a slowly disappearing thing after being so wildly mainstream for a while. Be it on your Xboxes, Playstations, Nintendo Switches (if you wanna call that AAA), these big fancy expensive money eating multi-year productions were a huge part of the entire culture. You go to e3, you see the thing, you enter the hype machine, you maybe pre-order, who knows.

Which is best? HD Unleashed? Unwiished? The third man? Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Frontiers, it doesn't matter the console... Sega's Blue Mascot has graced the Playstation 5, Nintendo Switch and Xbox but his weirdest adventure is now best on a console like 5 of you own. Or maybe it's the Wii Version? I won't spoil. The Werehog is divisive figure and I've gone as deep as possible into all three games entitled "Sonic Unleashed" Let's do it.

Sony's God of War franchise and the latest God of War Ragnarok is a PlayStation staple, and from the PS5 all the way back to the PS2, Kratos has been around, slicing dudes up and having a good time. BUT his adventure through mortality, child rearing and like... life itself have gotten itself some clones, copycats and inspirations. This is about those!

It's again time for the Worst and Most Disappointing Video Games of 2022, this time with Battle Passes, the birth of NFTs, the Nintendo Switch running on it's last performance legs and you bet your sweet thing I mention Babylon's Fall.
