Alice’s Battle Royale
Battle Royale is a movie in which 42 9th graders are pitted against each other in a battle to the death, a similar plot to the show Sword Art Online, as well as the much newer and live action; Alice in Borderland. Although both Battle Royale and Alice in Borderland are of Japanese origin, the movie was made in 2000 and the show came out 20 years later just last year in 2020. If there’s one country you can count on for epic thrillers it’s Japan. Produced in Japan are such masterpieces as Death Note, Suicide Club and The Grudge, and this show does not disappoint. Alice in Borderland stars three friends, Arisu, Karube and Chota. Arisu is a heavy gamer and unfortunately his lifestyle has become burdensome on his father and brother, until an unpleasant conversation leads him to leave his home. Karube works at a bar with a girl he’s involved with romantically. The two of them are kissing passionately when his boss, who is also the girl's boyfriend, shows up and starts a fight. After their scrap he fires Karube, leaving him with nothing to do but meet up with his friends. Chota is a soft hearted person with a draining office job he’s dying to get away from, and with the help of his friends he does just that. The three of them end up running from the police after an innocent mistake involving a great deal of laughter and a traffic jam when they’re cornered in a subway stop bathroom. Together they hide inside a stall until the lights go out and they step out to find everyone is gone. They have been transported from the bustling streets of Tokyo to an eerily empty Tokyo which, little do they know, hosts dangerous games testing strength and character. After a few hours of exploring the lifeless city the three friends discover a building with a glowing “GAME” sign on it. Upon entering they discover a handful of phones that scan their faces when used and assign a Visa to each player. Soon after two new players show up and the game begins. It isn’t long before the game has its first fatality and the group begins to realize the extremity of their situation. After the game is won they regroup to find out as much as they can about where they are. They contemplate a simulation, an apocalyptic event and question God. In the end Chota’s knowledge of IC chips tells them all they are able to find out, that new cars don’t work and neither do new electronics except the phones found in Game Center’s. The main protagonist, Arisu, is shown to have puzzle solving skills right from the start, these particular abilities are put to the test in unique and creative ways in each episode. Before the start of his second game Arisu comes across a bit of helpful information via an eccentric stranger. The stranger tells him each cards marking has a different meaning, the club symbol is revealed to be a team fight, and a diamond means a battle of wits. Arisu’s second game is a battle of spades, or strength, his third is a battle of hearts, a most difficult game of betrayal. When he meets another protagonist, Usagi, his skills are combined with her athleticism and general cleverness for the remainder of the season. For weeks our heroes fight for their lives, meeting new people and losing people in the process. Like all good shows by the end it leaves you feeling connected to the characters, sorrowful, asking questions and waiting for more. Many questions are answered, such as who is the mastermind behind the games, or the “game master”, some are left for the second season. So if you’re looking for answers you may have to wait another year!
sandra pikePublished 3 years ago in GamersOutriders: Demo Review
Over 15 Hours That's how long I've spent in this demo, and that's with probably 14 of it in one class. Outriders is a game that has a lot of potential. What we get to learn about the story shows we're in for a brutal world that really shows the worst of humanity, in a desperate situation. Throw in super-powered Altered who don't seem to care about anyone but themselves, and you've got a recipe for disaster.

Like many other fans of the Mass Effect series, I've been excitedly inhaling any and all information regarding the original trilogy's remaster. Announced last N7 Day, along with the teaser for an entirely new Mass Effect game, BioWare had been pretty quiet about the Mass Effect games in the works. Now, however, they're releasing tons of information regarding Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, and it's got me wondering: which class am I gonna play?

Jesse NancePublished 3 years ago in GamersCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War – Best Loadout for LW3 Sniper
The one-shot killing snipers of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War are highly admired by players. These types of snipers have long-range and high damage potential that results in a one-shot kill. Most of the time, the enemy doesn’t require another shot of some certain snipers. When the goal is to make a headshot, and when it successfully happens, then there’s no need to take another shot on the same enemy.
Delhi MagazinesPublished 3 years ago in GamersVideo Game Violence: Morality Legit
Chapter One: Introduction Media violence takes a strong effect on young adults in today’s world. Savage movies such as Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Divergent affect teenagers’ expectations for reality. Besides, young adults and adolescent children immerse themselves into vehemeate electronic games. Video games create immersive alternative reality. Teen players designate themselves to interface real people through the fake storytelling of games. Some people agree that children's insanity is caused by violent video games; thereof, they blame developers for creating these games that affect their “mental and emotional well-being especially during their formative years,” acclaimed by Sen. John “Jay” Rockefeller” (qtd. in Lyons 161). In spite of that, other people may assure the violent content of video games does not hold authority for teens’ viciousness and mania of going insane. Joan E. Bertin declares, “Violence has always been a fact of life and remains a reality for many people” (qtd. in Lyons 161). Although some experts believe that video games have a negative influence in leading to violent behavior among teens, such games actually benefit teenagers because they react well to clear-cut resolutions, relieve their tensions, and develop critical thinking skills.

Ferrari KingPublished 4 years ago in GamersMy Review of "Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn"
Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn is quite an interesting game. The ideal target audience for this game might be a little mixed but it's definitely not for everyone. It's not the best game but it is somewhat of an entertaining romp. I generally had fun playing this game despite its simplicity. Sometimes you just want to play a mindless game to kill some time.
