Soul Calibur 2 (Playstation 2):

“Second time that I’m talking about this game, so I will keep things short and simple. I’m going to focus on certain details, so if you want to see a more “complex” review, then click HERE. I’ve reviewed the Gamecube version first, so from what I can tell, the biggest differences between both versions are the graphics and the guess character. This is such a solid fighting game, and my ranking of 10 out of 10 still remains. I just find impressive the fact that this game didn’t aged at all, in my eyes. Is such a simple and fun game, and you can pick it anytime. I tend to struggle with Tekken because of this. The graphics may still look impressive, but because I’m so used to the modern Tekken games, I struggle to get into the gameplay of the earlier games. Fortunately, Soul Calibur 2 doesn’t have this issue, so you can go from Soul Calibur 6 to a previous game and still have a lot of fun. One thing I want to point out is the fact that I didn’t made individual posts for: Assassin, Berserker and Lizardman. It was really pointless because you can’t use these characters in most modes, so I don’t care much for them. They are based on previous characters, so you are not missing out much. Overall, this is such a fantastic game and one of the big reasons why I decided to revisit it is because I’m planning to review every single character for the following games as well. I own the copy of Soul Calibur 3/4/5 & 6, so expect A LOT of Soul Calibur related posts.”

Last year, I said I wanted the writers to address BLM and police brutality. I was appreciative they did, but the ending with JT wasn’t how I expected them to do it. B99 did a similar episode where Terry Cruz’s character was racially profiled by another police officer. This offered a look into how black police officers feel about police brutality against poc. I’m hopeful we get to see some of that with JT.

However, the scene itself was very violent and made me uncomfortable... I know it was supposed to be hard to watch--we’re not supposed to be comfortable when we see racism on tv. But it was also a lot to put on viewers in just the first episode.
