Minecraft Earth is an augmented reality app that has been hyped for a long time and it kind of came out of nowhere when it was released. I was worried it was never coming out and then. Many websites have been comparing Minecraft Earth to the successful augmented reality app of Pokemon Go and if you take the resource gathering as the only part of the game, sure, it’s like Pokemon Go.
I’ll be honest, that first paragraph I wrote when the app first came out. Everything from here on out is me having sat with the app, or better yet, not sat with the app since then. The voice above, super pumped about this game coming out. But there is a whole host of cons that come with this.

RAGE 2 – An Underrated Gem [Saturday Morning Review]
[Yes, we know RAGE 2 is rated “M” — and for good reason. Please, game responsibility.]
The moment I heard that Bethesda had brought together Avalanche Studios and id Software to create RAGE 2 — I was excited.
Avalanche Studios is known for the action-packed Just Cause series along with one of my favorites — Mad Max. While Mad Max lacked critical acclaim on release, it is often found among the “underrated” “must play” title of its generation.
As for id Software, what else can you say? They not only founded the First Person Shooter genre with Wolfenstein and DOOM, but their latest reboot of DOOM in 2016, “is one of the best FPS games I have ever played — maybe even the best I’ve played.”
I am a huge fan of the post-apocalyptic genre. Mad Max: Fury Road is one of my favorite films, and if I look at some of my favorites games, the trend continues.
So what did I think of RAGE 2, a game that it’s developers coined a “post post-apocalyptic” FPS just released on May 14th of this year?
