Sonic Forces

Sonic the Hedgehog has finally arrived to current-generation consoles in a brand new adventure that brings collective consciousness to a radically new level as he's going to become the face of the revolution in this revolutionary new installment.

Sonic Forces is the latest installment of SEGA's high-speed Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and this could be the Sonic game you might be interested with. After all, with the whole world's gone mad, we all need a savior...like him.

In this installment, the nefarious Dr. Eggmam took over the world with an iron fist and as the whole world succumbs to his tyrannical rule, there are only a few who can stand up against Dr. Eggman and his minions. And that only few led by Sonic and his pals, including you.

Yes, we're talking about you here because Sonic Forces features a new avatar feature that allows players to customize their character and join the action with Sonic, Classic Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles as they will ignite the uprising and end Eggman's tyranny, no matter what lays ahead.

Utilizing the new Hedgehog Engine 2, the graphics feel as sharp as ever and combined with the Ultra 4K HDR in case you're playing in let's say the PS4 Pro and the new XBOX One X, it's the most breathtaking Sonic experience yet as you will speed your way through different areas, defeat enemies and bosses, and work your way towards the ultimate objective. 

Nothing like a little collectibe consciousness than playing the most intense Sonic adventure for the whole family and because it features different ways to play, there's a reason why you have to love Sonic Forces right up to the big finale that really ends it with a bang but hey, it has to be this way for the most balls-out installment yet and when you had enough fun with the main story, there's going to be DLC contents heading your way featuring additional storylines.

With the whole world's gone mad, we all need a savior...like him. In Sonic Forces, you and the gang are ready to ignite the revolution in an all-out war between good and evil. Yes, we all said that much but hey, with the avatar feature, intense storyline, killer soundtrack, and high speed levels, Sonic Forces is going to blow their heads away and we are ready for it.

THREATS FROM NORTH KOREA: Trade and NoKor's nuclear provocations top of Trump's agenda

Even before he embarked on his Asian tour, US President Donald Trump stressed that trade and threats from North Korea would be top of his agenda.

During his stay, Trump said the two leaders were also able to reach a deal where Japan will buy large amounts of American military equipment, which he referred to as the best in the world. In South Korea, he said that South Korea will be ordering more American equipment, which will help America reduce its trade deficit and at the same time, help both countries defend against threats from North Korea.

During Trump's China visit, President Xi Jinping announced that both US and China signed trade deals worth over 253 billion dollars. Here, President Xi said China's investment in the US is rising rapidly, creating over 140,000 jobs for the local people. He also confirmed that Chinese companies will sign commercial contracts worth over 250 billion dollars, which reflects the "win-win nature" of US-China economic relations.

Experts believe Donald Trump's Asia trip seems to be successful on his aims to pressure fair trade.

Acura TLX - 2018 minor change

The Acura TLX maybe known to be a wilder side of the Honda Accord with a more engaging powerplants, including the one with the DCT on it, but having been around on the road for three years, one can say that whoever drives a TLX can easily find its faults hidden beneath that contrasting design and while some call it more engaging than the Honda Accord, others call it a flaw because its dynamics didn't live up to its expectations.

Now, there's a new version and with that, the TLX tries to become as sporty as the Germans, although the only benchmark the new TLX is in its sights is an Audi A4. At first glance, it comes with the new Acura grille as seen on the facelifted MDX which most observers say it is very ugly to look at, and weird face aside, Acura revamped the wheels and the rear as well as the new sport-oriented A-SPEC trim to make it more convincing than before, although the results aren't typical by some.

The interior remains the same as usual but the hardware's been improved so that now, it features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. That sounds pretty nice and even though it looks the same as before, it's rather nice to live with even though this is regarded as the Accord's wild sibling. It can still seat five people as with all the other saloons, and it's got numerous amenities to toy around with such as the ambient lighting which is as good as penlights on a concert.

The choice of powerplants remain the same as before such as the 2.4L i-VTEC engine with P-AWS and 8-speed DCT and the powerful but efficient 3.5L V6 VTEC with Variable Cylinder Management  and mated with a 9-speed AT and comes with either P-AWS and a more capable SH-AWD. Because of its same choices, it remains the sane opinion that 

some call it more engaging than the Honda Accord, others call it a flaw because its dynamics didn't live up to its expectations. Well, the V6 variant with SH-AWD is the redeemable variant because it tries hard to be Subaru-ish while gunning down the Audi A4 in its crosshairs but when reality sticks in, the handling's starting to unravel as told by your aching arms but despite that, the behavior is good and with AcuraWatch safety features, it lets drivers drive with confidence.

With prices start at $33,000, the 2018MY TLX is more expensive than the Honda Ccord but less than the Audi A4. Despite the ugly face, the 2018MY TLX tries hard to be as enjoyable as the next one and while it's not as exciting as it seems, it still is good to drive.

Second Generation Buick Enclave

The Buick Enclave is regarded as a Chevrolet Traverse in fake jewelry swag that makes it look posh enough to get through fancy restaurants and for this second-generation model, the new Enclave tries to prove that this poshed-up Traverse has been one-upped to be more luxurious than the competition.

At first, the new Enclave by Buick is made for those who think today's Chevy Traverse has too much republican views when its seated at the grown-up table and while it runs on the same new platform as the Traverse, Buick's flagship crossover behaves differently than the Traverse because it was made to be as comfortable as the German crossovers, although it remains theoretical, of course.

The new design is like the best of both worlds because up front, it resembles like today's Opels even though Opel now belongs to the French. Looks like the General still hasn't forgot its German friends after all. On the back, it looks more like the one from the Made-in-China Envision, and on the side, it resembles of a Toyota crossover I can't mention it to you due to search query reasons, resulting to some kind of culture clash in the design department.

Inside, the new Enclave is now more luxurious than ever and if you gone for the more luxurious Avenir, which is Buick's equivalent of GMC's Denali line, not only you'll stand out with its blinged-up exterior but also the chestnut interior with ebony trim that makes it look interesting. From its seven-seater capacity, internet connectivity, adjustable seats, and numerous concessions of comfort, it's fair to say that the new Enclave is even more luxurious than the old model. In fact, it's almost an Escalade on the budget because you can get one for $39,995, less expensive than other luxury crossovers.

Unlike other luxury crossovers, the new Enclave is not welcomed to the turbo nonsense its European opposition had because it still runs on its 310hp 3.6L V6 engine mated to a brand new 9-speed AT that delivers an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 26 mpg highway, which is very convincing for a V6 crossover even though it comes with a fuel-saving feature that can shut its engine off when stopped at a set of lights and then restarts when it sets off.

Handling wise, the new Emclave's slightly improved thanks to its five-link rear suspension as well as its Intelligent AWD with Active Twin Clutch that makes it very adaptable on any conditions. While it maybe as nice to drive as a family saloon, it can't match the driving pleasure the Europeans had and it's not somewhat you may call exciting. It may not somewhat sporty by SUV standards but in partial terms of comfort, the ride is good and you can make the most out of it everyday at work or at play. And with a wide range of safety features available, it's easier to live with.

For those who think that the new Traverse has some republican views onto it, the new Enclave can be a liberal alternative to it. It may be heavily improved from the previous model but it struggles to keep up with the competition unless they want this crossover to fight fire with fire, but still, while it's not the most enjoyable crossover you can buy right now, it's a bargaining in the making because of its newly refined dynamics and a whole new level of luxury that makes it a class apart from the rest.
