Classic Vertical Scrolling Shooter
Aero Fighters is the best vertical scrolling shooter on SNES. It is a port of the arcade game of the same name (although it's called Sonic Wings outside of North America). It's just too bad that not very many of the North American cartridges were produced, because now they sell upwards of $300. *Sighs* Someday, Aero Fighters, someday... If you're into playing classics through emulators though, this is the first SNES game I recommend that isn't a Nintendo property.

Fun action movie.
*I won a copy of this Blu-ray in a @Smashbomb giveaway!*
Let me preface this by saying that I think Dwayne Johnson is hilarious when he wants to be, while simultaneously being a great action "hero." Both are on display in this movie. His banter with George is so funny. The action is what it is, and it was done pretty well.
I know this was loosely based on the video game, which I fondly remember playing at the arcade, but I didn't see all that many parallels.
Overall not a bad way to spend a couple of hours!

Mothergamer (1592 KP) rated Soul Calibur VI in Video Games
Apr 8, 2019
I am a big fan of the Soul Calibur series. Soul Calibur VI is fantastic. There is a great story mode where you can play as the different characters and see their origin story. There is also a mode where you can create your own character and do various quests to move the story along. Arcade mode is in the game too of course so you can play matches with your friends. The game controls are excellent and the graphics for the game look fantastic. The voice acting and music for the game are great also. Soul Calibur VI is a lot of fun to play and very well done.

David McK (3623 KP) rated Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 (2018) in Movies
Sep 17, 2019
Sequel to Wreck-it Ralph, in which Ralph and Venelope travel to the internet in search of a replacement part for a broken wheel in Venelope's Sugar Rush arcade race.
It's not a bad film: animation (as expected) is top notch, and it has the requisite life lesson thrown in for good measure, but for me this just seemed somewhat lacklustre compared to the earlier entry. I did enjoy all the various internet nods throughout, however (some way more obvious that others - Amazon, E-Bay, Google, etc) - and the scene with the Disney Princesses are amongst the contender for the best of the film, but all-in-all ...
