Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Tips
Grinding Loot Boxes:
I think it’s best to just lay out a tip concerning Battlefront 2’s progression system first and expound upon the good shit after addressing the unforgiving progression loop. Battlefront 2’s infamous loot box progression system is the main detriment to the game but with some patience playe…[Read more]

1. A note on Destiny (what NOT to do)
First, a comparison of Destiny of a kind of evolution of Borderlands, and not necessarily for the better (ex: the light system, the annoying configurations of weapon attack and defense). The main culprit, of course, is RLJesus, the one sure bet when the player is #1 on his team that player at some point will…[Read more]
Thanks, great article.
This game is amazing
Love this game
Great game
Whole series is awesome
nice
The PS4 version of this game looks amazing.
They also added commentary to the cinematics.
cool
nice game.
I’m playing the PS4 version right now. Can’t get enough!
One of the ultimate Man Movies!! Five Stars all the way!!
I aint got time to Bleed!
This is Arnold in his Prime…Love this movie…Still remember the classic one liners in this movie and of course the adorable Alyssa Milano back when i had a super huge crush on her….overall a must see for any Arnold Fans!!!
Love this movie!!! it took me awhile to get over Heath Ledger’s Broke Back Mountain performance (haha) but this movie did it…Poweful, Suspensful, and Heroic…
One of Sheen’s best movies….also Berenger played every terrible characteristic an NCO (non-commissoner officer) could have that you dont want…awesome role…Finally got to love Dafoe’s peformance..(his left behind scene is still one of the best dramatic scenes in any movie…..Hands down one of my favorites!
A true Classic…Really only worth watching for the 1st 45min of the movie…once they leave Boot Camp it loses something..but still a great movie overall!
Was definitely considering the Madden 25 just because i felt obligated to buy since i was playing Madden since the beginning but not sure if I should get Madden 15 instead…Would love some feedback on this…
For my money, it all comes down to how much you want to pay.
Madden 15 will be new, have the latest rosters, and all of the newest features. The graphics also look at lot better (at least for the PS4 and Xbox One versions).
However, if you don’t care about every new feature (and, quite honestly, if you’re not a Madden die hard, you may not even know what new features are in Madden 15), and you want the game for much cheaper, Madden 25 wasn’t a bad game.
Im so excited to check this game out…I’m not big on buying games right now…but this one will definitely have to fit in my budget!
Get it – this was my favorite game of the previous console generation (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii), and one of my all time favorite games ever. Just make sure to bring a handkerchief!
Do they any plans for a follow up to Bill Laimbeer’s Combat Basketball?
Efficient German football.
I found myself nodding in agreement with so much you said here. I’m not a hard-core gamer by any stretch, so reviews of games by traditional reviewers wouldn’t mean much to me. Knowing that meterbreak shows me what I would like or what I should try based on MY tastes is genius!
Wow – thanks for the kind words!
Well Said sir…well said!
nope
This is CRAZY!!!
