Ready to Start a New Life?

Sun, 07 Feb 2010 15:03:54 +0100

You've left everything else behind and are riding on a bus, with only Rover to explain what is going on. Soon, you step off and begin to enjoy your new town. With funny neighbors, crazy events, and free things, whats not to love? Thats right, I'm talking about Animal Crossing: Wild World, for wii.

i how in tihs version everything is so more detailed and I like how the characters don't run on such an obvious script, they mix it up a lot more than in the DS version. I enjoy the city but get annoyed at the early closing times. I mean, the stores in your town go until 12, but the ones in the city close at 9. I like how the shoeshine gal changes your shoes, something I really wanted from previous versions. I like how the Happy Room Academy is a store and you can go change your options, like if you're going to get the letters or not. Shampoodle, the hair salon, has gotten even better with new hairstyles and even the old ones. Now, you can get a complete makeover where you take your Mii's face. I don't really like that because all the Mii heads look to long on an animal crossing character's body. I love how easy it is to change tools, instead of having to go to your inventory. I also love the deeper storyline going on with the shop-keepers. It is fun and totally entertaining.

There are some things I dislike. It is harder to be more into your town, since the game is for the wii. It was easier to check up once a day on the DS. And house morgages are much more expensive. This leads me to sell animals instead of donating them to the museum. I also hate how Capp'n talks to you on the bus. He runs a 5 dialogue track, and I've heard every conversation so many times I might die. I enjoy the characters walking around the city but you can't really talk to them. I hate GracieGrace's prices. And so far shes only used 4 sets of clothing. How boring is that? Although her furniture is great, 120,000 bells for a small chair? Really?

I think that this is a great game that needs a little more work. If you liked the previous versions of Animal Crossing, prepare to be blown away. If you've never played before, you'll fall in love just like the rest of us.

The Dead Bird and Me

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:00:57 +0100

Hey, I'm Katie, Sergio's BFF! Well, he is one of mine, so I hope I'm one of his...
ANYHOW
At lunch I was sitting near Sergio and a bird ran into a window and died(no joke). So I wrote a poem. AHEM!

The Dead Bird Poem

Oh Bird,
Your short or long existance may or have not been wonderful,
Your mate, girlfriend, or mother will miss you(maybe).
We will mourn you forever or until we forget,
We will never forget your plight to get to the cafeteria,
But, alas, the window was in the way,
The windex it is cleaned with is your murderer,
Your vengance will go undone,
We aren't sorry at all dear bird,
All your dreams were broken in an instant like your neck,
Oh dear birdie,
Your life is over now.

The Hunt Is On...

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 23:47:24 +0100

I am a Vault Hunter. Ever since I was a young lad, my mother would tell me stories about how there was this planet called Pandora. It was a total wateland filled with Bandits, Thugs and Theives. Yet, in this dump of a planet holds a treasure so valuable, so precious, that if you were to find it, you would hold all power! So rich, you could buy a swimiming pool in your swimming pool! The Galaxy at your fingertips. It has been said that a guardian angel is meant to lead you on your way, or send you to your doom...

Now...young traveler...I have told you my story and I have only one question...would you DARE take on this adventure?

Story:

Even with the epic story^ that starts out at the beggining of the game, it lacks story progression. I enjoyed my first few missions in the small town of Fyrestone. Next, I met a redneck-looking guy by the name of TK BAHA. Yeah, I don't get it either... Then, you meet a friendly(lie) bandit by the name of Nine-Toes. Later, you, go on to fight a king! No, not just any king, hes the king of the midgets, King WeeWee. Your probably wondering by now, what does this have to do with anything? If you guessed: "Nothing WHAT SO EVAR!" You are right! They have absolutely no purpose in life, but to make it harder for you to get through the game by loading you up on lousy quests.

Gameplay:

Dont let my comments on the story get you down, the gameplay is SWEET! It plays a little like CoD, aim with the left trigger and shoot with the right. When you jump, you jump as if you were in Halo 2, you jump to about 8 ft in the air, which is good, because you can easily get stuck on rocks when you're trying to create a shortcut around them to totally snipe some unsuspecting bandit. Each character has a special ability that can drasticly change the course of how things are going on the field. One awesome mechanic that i noticed in the game was the way you revive/second wind. Unlike any game I have ever played, this game has a way to get you back up just like in Gears of War 2 and CoD by having a partner go up to you and heal you while you're down, but for example, you could be in the middle of a gunfight and all of a sudden, a genade lands next to you and your down. Whe your down,its as if you're in Last Stand in CoD, but in borderlands, you get down and you still have your main weapon. So you could have a Rocket Launcher and go down and still keep basting enemies, but as soon as you bast that first enemy when your're down, YOU GET BACK UP! Its AMAZING!

Style:

Not very realistic, but sure fits the way the game looks. Its like a cartoon/sketch shading game.

Overall:
A really good game 9 out of 10 for my list of Game of the Year. (will be hearing about it soon as the year ends.)

Thats all I have to say about this game, hoped you liked the review and I'll see you guys later...

Untill Next Time...

The Decision...

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 03:31:06 +0100

Decision#1: This may be the best game in the franchise and will most likely get the most retail sales. With the new hand-to-hand combat,weapons, and story that was never in any of the previous titles, its hard NOT to wanna get this game the day it comes out. The story leaves oof after you leave the world facing dangerous political instability in Russia. With a Russian terrorist group that is trying to take the troubled country of Russia’s weapons stockpile. Makarov, the leader of that group, also happens to be an associate of Zakhaev, the man responsible for the first games’ nuclear attack. The style is great, co-op is awesome and multiplayer is fun. Trey Arch added a new component that lets you throw knives, which is cool since I suck at had-to-hand combat. Dogs, helecopters and Artillery are all still available once you get so many kills. Definately on my list of games to play.

Decision#2: These are the times I really wish I had the money... Dragon Age. From the makers of the all-time legendary game: Baulders Gate. What could be better?
