After putting more than a month into playing Rise of Kingdoms, this is still a great mobile game with some of the friendliest free-to-play aspects that I’ve ever seen.  The Good of Rise of Kingdoms  Let’s start with the way they implement their free-to-play model. It is great to put it simply.   While there are a lot of things to spend your money on, there was never a point that felt like I had to spend that money.  When free-to-play is implemented this way, I actually don’t mind throwing a few bucks into the game.   Sure, there are…

If you keep up with the best Among Us players across YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook Gaming, I’m sure that you have seen tactics that have you scratching your head.  Let’s look at some of these Among Us strategies and break down the reason why these strategies are used and the positive effects of them.  Don’t Vote on Seven in Among Us  Usually, in Among Us, you want to use any opportunity that you have to get the imposter out. On mobile, random voting runs wild.  The first time that I saw this rule used was around October…

With season 12 behind us, the next chapter in Destiny 2 called Season of the Chosen has a lot of promise, but will it hold up over the next three months?  What Is New In The New Destiny 2 Season Every new season in Destiny brings many things like new story missions, new weapons, and new activities to do.   From playing it for around seven hours on the day it dropped, I came to the conclusion that it is more of the same from Destiny 2.  This is not a bad thing. Some of the new…

Rise of Kingdoms or ROK is a game that is part city building, resource collecting, waring, and more. Here is a recollection of my first few days playing this mobile game.  My Start In Rise of Kingdoms  I actually found this game while playing another free-to-play game that I cannot remember at this time.  It came through as an ad and sparked my interest a little. I see many games through ads and ignore them like most people probably do.  I took a chance on this game and I found it to be a pleasant surprise.   When you start…

Destiny 2 raids have always been the best, most difficult pinnacle content in the game with the best rewards, but they haven’t always gotten it right.  What Was Wrong With The Raid System  In the first Destiny, raiding was fun. Everyone did it and everyone had fun doing it.   When you saw people in the tower with some cool gear, you wondered how they got it. When they found out that you didn’t do the raid, they would invite you and take you through.   It was so easy to do end-game content back then. Now, not so much. When Destiny 2…

Before we start talking about the new season that just released, let’s look back on what went wrong in the previous Destiny 2 season.  The Kind of Bad  One of the main loops throughout the history of Destiny has been the grind for loot. If that ever fails in any season, then that’s a big blight on that season.  While it was cool to get some new weapons with cool new perks like the raid weapons, the seasonal weapons were a letdown.  They seemed like they could be fun at first but after getting the raid weapons, you kind of…

Although there is not a massive difference between the mobile and PC versions of Among Us, there is a clear difference between the quality of the games.  The biggest issue between the two is the communication factor that the PC version has over the mobile version.  Even though Among Us was originally a mobile exclusive game before coming to PC, the ease of voice chat sets them apart.  Here are two ways to make the mobile version of Among Us better for lobbies and therefore more fun overall.  Stop Random Among Us Lobbies  Part of the appeal of Among Us is…

Many people anticipate the fall for the release of the new Call of Duty game but with Call of Duty Mobile, you can take the FPS with you wherever you go!  Let’s start out by saying that this game is actually very good at its very core.  The game plays just like a normal COD game except that it is on your mobile device. This is one of the best mobile FPS games that I have ever played.  Call of Duty Mobile Multiplayer Review  The controls are good also. There is a mix of aim assist and free…

With season 12 in the bag and season 13 just getting underway earlier this week, let’s look back on the things that made the last season of Destiny 2 good.   What Did Destiny 2 Get Right   After all of the hype of the reveal of the fall expansion at the start of season 11, Bungie had to deliver with season 12.   The first thing that they had to get correct first and foremost was the new location, Europa. I think that they achieved this.  Not only is Europa massive compared to many of the current and vaulted locations in the game, but…

Before I get into a deep dive on the specific roles in MOBA games, Multiplayer online battle arena,  there is one thing that is the same in most MOBA… the objective.  From watching gameplay of different MOBA and playing them myself, the characters and setting may be different but how you get there is the same.  The Objective of a MOBA   The goal in MOBA games is always the same. To push lanes, gain experience, and takedown towers in three lanes in order to allow your minions to take the core.  Sounds simple enough but it is…
