Rise of the Tomb Raider gives you 30 to 40 hours of gameplay?

At least that's the latest news around this game. I must admit that I would welcome that, eventhough I'd have to find extra time to play all those extra hours next to the load of other games that launch around that time as well and I don't want to miss out on those either. But I'm not complaining, more is definitely good in this case!


More time to do what?


The areas are bigger and you have more things to do, the skill trees have now up to 50 skills (if I'm not mistaken) so there's a lot of unlocking to do. If you want to unlock that many skills then there has to be a lot to do, eventhough you could backtrack in Tomb Raider and get collectibles and improve your skills with the extra experience. I don't know if that's possible in Rise ofthe Tomb Raider but I would definitely welcome it, because having to replay the story again just for collectibles sucks! As you saw in the trailers there will be different locations and it doesn't all take place on one island as it did in the previous Tomb Raider game. From what I heard you have a lot of exploring, translating and survival tricks ahead of you so I hope you're ready!


Should you care about RotTR?


If you like action/adventure game, if you enjoyed playing the previous Tomb Raider game and if you have fun with exploring new things then Rise of the Tomb Raider might be a game for you. I know that there are a lot of other games launching around the same time and it's difficult to make a decision sometimes, but the trick is to find which game suits you best. So if you don't like first person shooters then Halo 5, Fallout 4 and Black Ops 3 are already out of your list. If you're done with Assassin's Creed then you don't want to give AC Syndicate a chance then you can also ignore that. If you don't like playing on plastic instruments then you can also skip Rock Band 4. I guess that already made some room for you to buy Rise of the Tomb Raider. Unless you want all of those games, I guess then you'll have to make some tough decisions!

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
