Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is the one of the worst Call of Duty games I have played in a long time. This is no campaign, and the Blackout Battle Royale game type is really unfair to brand new players. Now this isn't just me moaning about it, but if you already good at Battle Royale or Blackout you stand a good chance of enjoy this. While a First-Person Shooter Battle Royale is just not my thing.

Dakar 18 the graphics are a little dated and the cars act a little bit odd over sand dunes, the game plays really well on the whole. I really enjoyed it honestly. The major annoying part of the game is that a lot of the achievements are worth 8 Gamerscore... why would a developer think this is a good idea. It makes it extremely annoying to achievement hunters... but apart from that small issue, it's a pretty good game over all.

Gravel the graphics, while still feel dated, look better than Dakar 18, but the trucks and cars handle really loose even while driving on solid tarmac. But most of the rallying and racing plays really well and the game is enjoyable, it kinda feels like playing old arcade racing machine when I was younger at the arcade near the beach. You know the game is old but it's still really fun to play.

LEGO DC Supervillains is pretty much the standard LEGO game which comes out multiple times a year. Play through the levels. Play through the levels again to collect all the collectibles. Collect all Red Bricks, Characters, Gold Bricks, Secret Levels, etc it just gets kinda same-y from playing the last LEGO game.

Wreckfest was one of my favourite racing games this year. All game types are really fun and don't get boring. Especially, while playing multiple-player with friends or random other players online. The graphics look pretty great, again especially with crashed cars and crumbled metal and roar of the engines. Really great game on the whole.

LEGO Technic Porsche 911 RSR took me the best part of a whole day to build. I have only each built one other Technic set and that was the small Technic Cherry Picker... this was a huge build. It was a little frustrating with all the technic pins and studs but it was really rewarding and looks amazing. Opening over the rear, you can see the engine moving and moving steering, making this one of my favourite LEGO models. I really love the details on the dash and centre console of the cockpit, just hands down really happy with it. 

LEGO Minecraft The End Battle was a LEGO set I bought in the Boxing Day sales, it wasn't on by top list of sets I wanted but it was 2/3 off so I had to get it. The Ender Dragon is pretty sweet and I really like it's Purple Blaster, by pressing down on one of it's spikes on it's back. The Ender Crystal Tower has a pretty cool play-feature where you can shoot off the Ender Crystal by pushing a stud in.

LEGO Batman Batmobile: The Joker Pursuit was another set I bought in the Boxing Day sales, I really wanted the LEGO 1989 Batmobile, but I knew I wasn't going to be able to afford it anytime soon. So I settled with the much cheaper set instead. But it was come out really well, I really like it honestly. For the price, I think it's great.

LEGO Batman App-Controlled Batmobile was a Christmas Present and I think this is going to be one of my favourite Christmas Presents for a long time. The set took me less than an hour to build. The Blu-Tooth Motor uses up 6 AAA Batteries, which was a little bit annoying but the results were worth it. You used the LEGO Powered Up App, which is free from the App Store, then you choose which LEGO Set you want to connect to, then hold down the Blu-Tooth Button on the Batmobile and about 30 seconds later, it's connected. It drives like a tank, but you do some instant controls like U-Turn, Right-Angel Turn & Wheelies. I was worried that pieces would fly off when doing wheelies, but it all seems really tight and well put together which I was really pleased about.

Watchmen Comic was another Christmas Present which I asked for because I've been watching Watchmen HBO Series, and I've seen the film, but I never read the comic book before. Now I know the HBO Series is set after the events of the film, plus had different events in time. But the film follows the book much closer. I haven't finished it yet, but I am really enjoying the gritty, dark story the book writes.

Amazing, Fantastic, Incredible Stan Lee is the Memoirs of Stan Lee told as a comic book. Which I saw in a book shop a little while ago and thought was really interesting, so I asked for it from Christmas. Stan Lee is one of my heroes, especially with MCU, the Animated TV Series and Comics, I really admired his life's work.
