thegrowngamers@gmail.com (Tory Favro) — Thu, 18 Jun 2020 07:49:00 +0000

I could not believe I had slept on this game for so long. Titanfall 2 is a tour de force despite it's short campaign it is so masterfully crafted that you will be thinking about it long after the credits roll. In this game you get to play the role of Pilot Jack Cooper and his mech, the amazing BT. Filled with humour, action, drama and so much more, This game holds up so well despite being roughly five years old.

The Grown Gamers Episode 120: Maneater PS4 Review

thegrowngamers@gmail.com (Tory Favro) — Wed, 17 Jun 2020 12:21:00 +0000

Man-eater is the amazing new game from TripWire games. It was touted as the GTA of the ocean, and in my humble opinion, it actually delivers. Beautiful graphics, a fun storyline filled with genuine comedy, this is a game that I can confidently suggest you add to your gaming library. I rate it 4.5/5.

The Grown Gamers Episode 112: Body Count Carnivore CD Review

thegrowngamers@gmail.com (Tory Favro) — Fri, 17 Apr 2020 06:10:00 +0000

A music review this time. I've loved Ice-T ever since Rhyme Pays back in the day, and this continues even now. Body Count is Ice's metal group and this is their 7th album. 10 tracks comprise this banger, including a reprise of his original hit Colors. Check out the review which contains no music only my damn opinion. Email thegrowngamers@gmail.com

The Grown Gamers Episode 111: Ju-On The Grudge Movie Review

thegrowngamers@gmail.com (Tory Favro) — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 05:36:00 +0000

This is the one that started them all. The Japanese version of The Grudge is a masterclass in tension and horror that modern movies can well learn from. The premise is that a spirit contains so much anger and rage toward the living that it will attach to them until they too die in terror, hence the grudge. I adore this movie and recently picked it up again after my original copy went missing. I hope you enjoy. Please like and subscribe. Email thegrowngamers@gmail.com

The Grown Gamers Episode 110: The Dead Don't Die Movie Review

thegrowngamers@gmail.com (Tory Favro) — Thu, 09 Apr 2020 05:07:00 +0000

Directed by Jim Jarmusch, The Dead Don't Die is an offbeat comedy about a small town with a zombie infestation. With a stellar cast, this is a slow paced comedy that might take an acquired taste. Think Fargo with zombies and that would be a good starting point. Please like and subscribe. Email thegrowngamers@gmail.com

The Grown Gamers Episode 103: Hunt Showdown game review

thegrowngamers@gmail.com (Tory Favro) — Mon, 09 Mar 2020 12:33:00 +0000

This is a video and audio review for the Hunt: Showdown game. It is an online only game set in the swamps of Louisiana back in the 1800's. Not for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach, it pits you against the spawn of hell and the ferocity and cunning of other human opponents. A mix of gunplay, stealth and strategy, Hunt is a stunning looking game with an audioscape that is sure to terrify. I really liked this game and am sure that you will too. Thanks to Pete Hardy for playing with me for this video, I'm pretty sure that we would not have passed this level without your help. Like I always say, I love video games but I'm not always good at them. I am good at talking though, and hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it for you.
