While I have a lot to get around to listening to, I am still yet to hear to a great No Limit album. They were releasing so much music from 98-99 that perhaps that was part of the problem. This is one of the rare R&B and female albums from No Limit. It's decent with some highlights and consistency, but again, like most past No Limit records I've tried, the production never reaches any great heights, and the vocals don't match the best in the genre either. Mystical is one of the rare examples of a soldier who did have great vocals and who provides a noteworthy featuring verse on 'Hush'. There is a 'Bonnie & Clyde' themed song that we have heard so much in hip hop. There are way too many skits that would've been a pain in the backside back in the day. The skits include Mercedes talking a guy through giving her pleasure and her telling a "broke ho" to stop playing on her phone. 'Can Tell' would be listed below amongst the best tracks but the male vocalist is a very average singer in my opinion. The skits make this drag on and there are some poor songs, but there are enough decent songs. If you enjoy the No Limit sound, their rap roster (as there are lots of features) and R&B, you'll get something out of this. Best Tracks: Hit 'Em, Do You Wanna Ride, Pony Ride, Hush, Free Game, I Need a Thug, You're the Only One

So I begin listening to this album. Reasonable beat, good rapping from Em without an annoying accent or him yelling. Sounds good. However, it only took me 62 seconds into this to sigh. Another chorus with that same sounding chick just like on 'Hell: The Sequel' and 'Recovery'. Both of those albums, particularly the former was hampered by it. And that kind of sums up the album. At times it's Eminem at his most enjoyable in a while to listen to rap, but as has been the case more so recently, his hook game is more often than not average and has been the case throughout his career, his ear for beats is suspect. A good portion of the production on this album is what I'd expect on a no-name rapper's mixtape - See 'Rap God'. It isn't horrendous, but for someone with Eminem's budget and connections, it baffles me that he doesn't acquire better beats. Overall, there are some good songs, but most are just decent, and in reality, it has been years since Eminem has made a truly great song. As a side note, the deluxe edition is worth checking out for some good songs such as 'Beautiful Pain'. Best Tracks: Berzerk, Headlights, Beautiful Plan.

I didn't want to finish this. There is nothing likeable about it. The characters aren't likeable. The comedy falls completely flat. As much as I like Christopher Lloyd, he does nothing much for me in this either and is under utilised. There is some terrible editing too like when martial arts screams are put over the top that are clearly fake.

After about 25 minutes of setup, this is basically over an hour of a family being hunted, then becoming the hunter without anything being done in a way that is too interesting. The final twist was foreseeable and I was hoping it wouldn't happen. It would have been a better ending without it - not to mention that it has plot holes. Then there is some of the ill-fitting attempts at comedy and social commentary through ill-fitting music like N.W.A.'s 'Fuck the Police. While I found Get Out a touch overrated, I still enjoyed it and the aspects of originality it had. I don't feel this has as much. There are some creepy characters, and I wouldn't let a 10 year old watch it before bed, but nothing is scary either. The villains also seem to be stronger and more menacing at the start but become weaker to allow them to be killed.

The Trackmania series has provided me with hours and hours of entertainment (and frustration), since the original dropped in '03. The old games gave you multiple environments, a variety of solo modes, and fewer bugs, to name a few features. These days, the series is a far cry from what it used to be. At launch, I couldn't complete an online race because the game wouldn't register my car crossing the finish line and that still occurs with regularity. There are still, almost three weeks into launch, server issues, and it's just not the game it should be. One of the series' strengths has been its track editor, allowing users to create an infinite amount of tracks. All of the tracks users create should be easily accessible through the game's menus. They're not. On the track exchange site, https://trackmania.exchange, you can't upload replays because the site is waiting on Nadeo. There are some features such as water that was in the series previously that isn't at the moment. Apparently that will be added at some point. It's still addictive trying to find that perfect line to shave milliseconds off the clock but the game isn't what it should be or what its predecessors deserve. People who buy games these days on release should receive a wage, as we seem to be the ones who actually test them. Gameplay 3.5/5 Graphics 4/5 Sound 3.5/5 Difficulty 5/5 Originality 2/5
