Secret Level review - Sizzle reel

Dec 5, 2024 | gamingtrend.com | Jack Zustiak |John Farrell |Nicholas Aguilera

Secret Level is a big undertaking. With a lot of work put in by Blur Studios who makes incredible animated cutscenes and more, you figured it would be. Given the scale of this series, it makes sense that we take it on in a similar fashion. We’ve assembled a dream team of our own at GamingTrend to take a look under the hood, see what makes Secret Level tick, and give you their thoughts on why (or why not) you should spend time watching this highly advertised Prime Video show.
GameSir Cyclone 2 Multiplatform Controller review - Well done, sir

Nov 25, 2024 | gamingtrend.com | Nicholas Aguilera

I’ve had little exposure to GameSir and their gaming peripherals prior to getting my hands on the Cyclone 2 Multiplatform Controller. However, after spending some time with my first GameSir device, I don’t think this will be my last.
Destiny 2: Episode: Echo impressions - Calm after the storm

Oct 10, 2024 | gamingtrend.com | Nicholas Aguilera

When Bungie announced it would be deviating from the tried and true Destiny 2 seasonal model, the decision was met with equal parts optimism and skepticism. The main concern amongst players was how episodes would differ from seasons. With Episode: Echoes, the first of three episodes in Destiny 2 year 10, now in the rear view mirror, it is clear that the skepticism was well founded. Episode 1 wasn’t bad by any stretch of the imagination, as it was an entirely serviceable affair.
G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra review – America's daring, highly trained, special mission force

Sep 26, 2024 | gamingtrend.com | Nicholas Aguilera |Richard Allen

What better way to review a game about a team of super soldiers than bringing in two super editors? Nicholas Aguilera and Richard Allen both played through G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra and debriefed their thoughts in this review. NicholasG.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra makes me reminisce on my childhood. Loud noises and flashing lights, soldiers shooting miniguns and swinging swords, androids and ninjas surrounding me on all sides; just like it was yesterday, man.
SPRAWL review -- Off the walls

Jul 12, 2024 | gamingtrend.com | Nicholas Aguilera

SPRAWL is the perfect example of an “if you love that, you’ll love this” game. It borrows directly from a few different titles but does so effectively and tastefully. Frenetic shootouts and advanced movement techniques are the name of the game for this first-person shooter, so if that’s not your cup of tea, steer clear of SPRAWL. However, if you enjoy games like Titanfall 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops III, and Doom Eternal, you’ll have a great time with this one.
Destiny 2: The Final Shape review - Witness finality

Jun 18, 2024 | gamingtrend.com | Nicholas Aguilera |Noah Rigsby

Destiny 2: The Final Shape is a massive event for the Destiny universe. Because of this, GamingTrend gave its two biggest Destiny 2 fanatics the nod to cover as much ground as possible and offer some diverse perspectives on this monumental expansion. Similar to our Destiny 2: Lightfall review last year, Nicholas Aguilera and Noah Rigsby have worked side-by-side to review Destiny 2: The Final Shape.
Destiny 2: Season of the Wish impressions - The end is nigh

Jun 3, 2024 | gamingtrend.com | Nicholas Aguilera

Before I get into the nitty-gritty of this retrospective, I just want to acknowledge how much I’ve enjoyed covering Destiny 2 seasonal, expansion, and miscellaneous content drops for GamingTrend. Writing about Destiny 2 is nothing short of a privilege, and I want to say thank you to everyone who reads these and to GamingTrend for letting me talk about one of my favorite games.
Phantom Fury review - Bloody, messy, and buggy retro anarchy

Apr 23, 2024 | gamingtrend.com | Nicholas Aguilera

I’ve played a few games in my time that lacked personality. Phantom Fury is not among them. Never in my gaming career have I played a game so unapologetically committed to an identity. Fast-paced shootouts, interactive environments, over-the-top violence and weapons – this a boomer-shooter through and through. However, some obnoxious bugs, incredibly obscure level design, and a subpar soundtrack puts a massive damper on the experience. It’s a shame – I really wanted this to be great.
Destiny 2: Into the Light impressions - Light at the end of the tunnel

Apr 20, 2024 | gamingtrend.com | Nicholas Aguilera

Into the Light, Destiny 2’s last major content update before the release of the Final Shape, has recently launched, and it’s chock full of exciting new content for players. As you may know, we’re dangerously close to The Final Shape expansion, Destiny 2’s concluding chapter to its first 10-year saga. The expansion was unceremoniously delayed at the end of 2023, prompting some turmoil and disdain within the community.
