Excision (2012)
Sick, twisted, and I loved it
One of my all time favourite films. Personally I feel its macabre nature is perfectly balanced with appealing cinematic aspects. Good sound track, interesting narrative portrayed with a face of art, and spot on casting. AnnaLynne McCord did a perfect job at portraying a teenage sociopath and she deserves rewards for that performance. At that, the casting was impressive when regarding the director and writer was an unknown, fresh 25 year old director.
The film successfully explores themes of teenage life, complex relationships, religious zealotry, and the problem with being a self-proclaimed surgeon...
Not for everyone by all means, but for me, fantastique!

The Last of Us (2013)
Best game I've ever played
I just cannot fathom how good this game ended up. This will be a relatively short review but will highlight some of the main aspects of the game that I truly believe makes this game a contender of one of the best games created.
The story: The story, personally, the best bit about the game. The story of the characters, especially Joel, will undoubtedly make you connected to the characters. When I finished the game, I honestly felt like I lost 2 friends. I was truly upset that this experience had came to an end and I actually ended up starting to write a book simply to take my mind of the game. (I'm still writing that book). This game has stuck with me for so many months, not a day goes past when I don't think about it.
The game is a zombie/post apocalyptic/ survival game. And it does that just right. It gives you the option to stealth through the game, as you probably would if we were in a real post apocalyptic world. It adds that sense of realism to the game and that further makes that attachment to the characters more viable and more open to the players themselves.
The AI of the NPC's are quite dodgy. If I had to say one bad thing about this game, it would be about the AI (nothing updates can't fix). Not that I have a choice, I honestly cannot find anything else bad to say about this game. The game-play is extremely fun (excluding the AI), the music and scenery are breathtaking and add to the overall powerful impact the game has on you, and most importantly, the story is absolutely outstanding in how much it can of an effect it can have on you. Me personally, still thinking about it 4½ months later.(update still fan-girling about this game over a year later).
I would 100% recommend this game. It may just generally may not be for you as you're into more of a head on action packed game, but I certainly wouldn't give this a miss as the potential this game has on you is paramount. It's worth a try.
Happy playing-

Biohazard 4 (2005)
Best of the series
I'd have to give this 10/10. I may be looking at this game from a bias point of view, but I just cannot fault it based on my personal preference of games. This game ticks all the right boxes for a successful horror game. I'm still playing this game 8 years later, and I'm still enjoying it just as much as the first day I played it.
Resident evil games are known for their awkward controls and annoying camera shots. But in this game, personally, I just didn't feel that. This may be me getting used to them over the many years of playing, or it may be down to the fact that they are just better.
The storyline is not only captivating and compelling from the start, but keeps you grabbed by the nuts all the way through. Not once will you get bored. All the way through the game you will want to play till the end, regardless of being potentially terrified, the compelling nature of the story will guide you through the terrors of that is resident evil.
The range of weapons and upgrades also made me personally want to keep on playing. The fact I could make my character my own personal killing machine is always something that's made me able to play games for long periods of times. Collecting up money, finding and combining treasures and defeating huge bosses with awesome rewards is the epitome of a good game for me; resident evil 4 does just that.
There are so many modes to this game, it offers so much more than the conventional PlayStation 2/GameCube platform game. After completing the story on normal you will unlock other modes which keep you occupied for long periods of times. Professional mode being one, will test your skills as a resident evil player, or if not, a gamer in general, and poses more of an attraction towards skill than the already revealed storyline. But that alone is enough to make you want to go through the story again. The AI on the characters are also pretty good, with a few flaws here and there. But still, nothing major to get your panties in a twist about ( Nothing like the AI in upcoming game of the year, the last of us;) ) There is so much more I would like to say about this game but I guess you get the drift. If I had to try and stretch for some negative points I'd have to say that The AI on Ashley and some enemies could of been a bit better and that the use of sounds on certain enemies could of been changed as it got repetitive. More sounds could of been added to enemies, as well as Ashley.
