Life Is Strange 2

-

Dontnod Entertainment came out of nowhere with a FREE episode of Life Is Strange 2 called The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. In this game, you take control of Chris Eriksen, a ten-year-old boy on what he expects to be a typical Saturday morning.

From the offset, it’s hard not to be charmed by Chris’ playful sense of adventure and vivid imagination as he dreams of becoming a superhero. Chris has come up with his own, Captain Spirit. Captain Spirit goes on adventures and even battles the evil Mantroid.

As you guide Chris through this long Saturday morning, you learn more about his tragic backstory of his family. Chris’ father is struggling with alcoholism and the loss of his wife. Which in return makes Chris' dad kind of a dick toward Chris, but that's just my opinion.


I love the Life is Strange games as they are an open world with tons of activities for players to do and in any order the player chooses. In this episode, you go on a treasure hunt, build a superhero costume, and face off against super villains. But hidden away in some of them are clues about Chris’ backstory and links to how Captain Spirit ties into the Life Is Strange universe. Plus the developer included plenty of hints about Life Is Strange 2.

Just like in the previous LiS games, the best way to approach Captain Spirit is with a sense of exploration, checking out every nook and cranny, trust me.


With Captain Spirit, Dontnod Entertainment shows us that while we’ve said goodbye to Max and Chole, there’s still plenty of reasons to be excited about the future of the Life is Strange universe. They’ve planted the seeds and given us plenty of reasons to care for Chris and to be interested in where his story is going. And as a FREE download, it’s the perfect way to introduce long-term fans, as well as new fans, and ease them into what the future may hold for Life Is Strange 2.

So, if you’re a fan of the series, then Captain Spirit is a must-play and an absolutely essential experience to fill the void where Max and Chloe’s unforgettable story in Arcadia Bay took place.

This game gets a 5 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 13

On Thursday, FX finally announced the premiere date for season 13 of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia . The show comes back this fall but sadly, it sounds like they won't all be back together scheming at Paddy's Pub. What we know for the upcoming season is that Charlie hopes to have a child with The Waitress, Mac sets out to understand his newfound sexuality, Dee takes feminism to new heights, and Frank goes to great lengths for the Gang to experience the greatest moment in Philadelphia sports history...an Eagles Super Bowl victory! It all sounds great as Kitten Mittens , but what about the inventor of the D.E.N.N.I.S system , our favorite sociopath, Dennis Reynolds? Dennis left at the end of season 12 by stepping up to be a father, so it is unclear on how big or small Dennis' role will be in the new season. But we are talking about Dennis Reynolds here. Come on, he's bound to get bored, right? He can't do the right thing forever, can he? It would be ni

Are you excited for Lara's new adventure? I am . Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the third installment of the rebooted Tomb Raider series. In this game, Lara is agile as ever, climbing trees and getting the drop on enemies remains a solid approach as seen at E3. When a Trinity soldier gets too close, you can use a stealth kill that has Lara fire a rope arrow at the soldier, drop from the tree, and string him up. The stealth is so insane that you could covered Lara in mud. Too f*cking cool! Let's get to the plot of this game. We know that Lara Croft will stop at nothing in order to prevent the Maya Apocalypse. She must master a deadly jungle, overcome terrifying tombs, and persevere through her darkest hour as she races to defeat Trinity once and for all. Jonah also returns as Lara's loyal friend to help her and he’s needed more than ever. At times he acts as a moral compass, other times he may question Lara’s motives. He’s always Lara’s friend, but this time you’l

Batman #50

Okay, today is the day, Batman and Catwoman get married? Writer Tom King urge fans to avoid the articles for potential spoilers and if the worst had already happened, just give the comic a chance anyway. I did. If you haven't read Batman #50 then STOP HERE and get it because SPOILERS are ahead... Batman #50 begins with Bruce and Selina deciding that they should really just elope (all while beating up Kite Man). Pretty bad-ass to be talking about wedding plans while kicking ass, right? Bruce can find a judge, they’ll each bring a witness, and they’ll meet at dawn on the rooftop where Bruce proposed, about a year ago, to pledge their vows. Alright, long story short...Selina writes a letter confessing that, in her mind, marrying Bruce is an act that would destroy Batman. "I wish I could give my life, but I can’t," she concludes. "I have to give more. My sacrifice is my love. It’s you. With all my love, Cat." Selina basically leaves Bruce waiting on
