The new Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 (Campaign) receives one bad review (e. g. IGN 4/10) after another. The story is lousy, boring and too short.
It's amazing how you can ruin a remake series in no time at all, when the original Modern Warfare series was more than brilliant.
Melancholy and Tranquility, two words that come to my mind without having to think much about them as soon as I think of Max Richter's works. But Hope is also a word that I would like to add.
His songs move, let you sink into other dreamy worlds. They let you glide thoughtfully and lead you through a story, through a life full of ups and downs. For example the wonderful “On the Nature of Daylight” or “Dona Nobis Pacem 2”, known from the series The Leftovers.
I just played the new Forza Horizon on my Xbox Series S for the first time and was shocked to discover that the game is cruel. Cruel in the sense that I can't keep my fingers off the game.
I am a huge, huge car racing fan. From Need for Speed to Grand Prix or Mario Kart, I think I've been in just about every car. But at least for me, the driving sims have been a little bit on the back burner lately, as I've been loving doing laps in Forza Horizon 4 and 5.
I just discovered Jusant, which will be released for Xbox in GamePass at the end of October. It is a “relaxing climbing game”. Ever upward with beautiful graphics and enchanting music. For me, right after finding it, it climbed way up my must-have list as well. I honestly can't wait to just let myself drift after discovering bouldering for myself some time ago.
Until 17.09.2023 you have the opportunity to play the game The Crew Motorfest by Ubisoft for free for 5 hours (and then transfer the score to the purchased game, if you want). I tried it last night and was quickly disillusioned.
Everyone, really everyone, says it's a Forza Horizon duplicate. Yes, it is, but not quite as high quality. The game stutters, the tearing is unbearable, the graphics are generally not that high quality, although they are still nice to look at.
