Okay guys, I'm sorry the blog has been inactive for so long. I've decided to make this not just a gaming blog so we actually have something to write about.

I've also decided to allow comments without moderation required. I think that this will spark more discussion, but if people start to spam with comments, I will return to making them all require moderation.

This blog will now cover a more wide range of topics, so we actually have something to write about...


Thanks for reading!

  

Drawn to Life, despite it's childish looking cover and graphics, is a truly amazing game.

Lets talk about the graphics. The default graphics are nothing special. Pretty typical for the DS. But what really can make the graphics okay is your drawing ability. If your not a great artist, don't worry, you'll be fine. If you are a good artist, your character will look awesome. My suggestion for drawing is that you put darker bend lines where your characters joints are. Otherwise, your character will look odd when it walks. If you want to get your drawing perfect, you can zoom in to get your drawing more precise. It's awesome that you can design patterns to put on buildings, weapons, your character, and more.



                                                        



Now lets talk about the gameplay. The game has a pretty good story, but we won't talk about that very much. The controls are pretty nice, but get shaky sometimes. It is basically a side scroller, pretty basic, but has depth in the story. The gameplay itself isn't unique, but the whole idea behind it is. One thing about it is the story is very short and easy to beat. Most of the game is very cleverly thought up, and can get challenging at times. But when you think about things in the long run,  if you are a core gamer, you may find this game too basic. Fortunately and unfortunately, the game is more for a younger audience, but you can still enjoy it regardless of your age.

Overall Score 8.4/10
The game is fun, but too easy and basic in some parts. Great for kids though.

  

This game has been highly anticipated for a long time.

    Let’s start by talking about the graphics. They look nice, pretty classic, and everything flows smoothly. The graphics aren’t the best I’ve seen, but they do their job well. Surprisingly, I haven’t been able to find many glitches, so I’m still trying to see if there are any.

    Now, lets get into the gameplay. The gameplay is fun, and as usual, the princess was stolen, and you have to save her. The games difficulty slowly progresses, so in the start it’s pretty much all about learning how to play. Also, there are also loads of side quests, where you can get bonuses. Mario has also gotten his hands on a Bee Suit. It looks really stupid, but at least he can fly when he’s in it. But if Mario touches the water when he’s in the Bee Suit, it falls off. When he’s in it, he also gains the ability to climb on giant Honeycombs. One think about the gameplay is that the camera can be annoying, sometimes it goes at the wrong angle, and it takes to long to reset to the right position. Mario also can spin. This can be used to deflect attacks, send enemies flying, etc. The controls are nice, very simple and easy to learn. The multiplayer is good as well. Coins aren’t as important in this game, you need Star Bits. They appear everywhere, and all you have to do to get them is point the Wii-remote at them, no matter how far you are. Then you feed little star creatures them so they will transform into something (launch star, sometimes even galaxies!). You can also shoot them at enemies. The games puzzles are very nicely thought up, and the levels are great!

    The storyline is also very good. Though it is pretty expected, you save the princess, and it has all of the classic characters, including some new ones, such as Rosalina. The story is enough to get you hooked, but it's nothing special.

Overall Rating: 9.5/10 This game is good, but it has a few flaws.

  

Wow. This game is awesome. It has a great replay value, and it has new weapons, vehicles, and more.

      Alright. Lets start out with the story. The game, as usual, is all about Master Chief. There is a small side story, the Arbiter and his Elites, but it fades quickly. I would have liked to see more of Arbiter, but I guess we won't.

    Now lets look at the graphics and gameplay. The graphics are astounding. They are much better than in Halo 2 (and 1). And the gameplay is great, though as always, you can find a few glitches to your advantage, or disadvantage. Also, there are some awesome new weapons and vehicles included as well. One thing also is that unlike in Halo 2, the stages have unique differences. Some of the stages could be better, but the stages are good after all. Now about the difficulty. All of the modes in this game have become either way easier, or harder than they were in previous Halo games. Though if you choose one of the easier modes, you will miss out on some cool features only available on the harder difficulties. There is also a new "equipment" system. You can deploy items either for defensive or offensive purposes. Unfortunately (or fortunately if you want a challenge), your enemies make use of it too, but if you use an easy difficulty they won't use them much, if any. There are also skulls hidden amongst levels. When you get one, you can activate it to make the game harder, it's great if you don't want to do legendary, but you want a challenge if you are good. Now lets talk about the new vehicles. My personal favorite, The Brute Chopper, is awesome. It's fast, looks cool, and tears up anything in it's path. There are some other ones, but I won't get into them now. Now... for the weapons. They have added a variety of new weapons, they are great for destruction. The Spartan Laser takes a little while to charge, but when it's charged, literally, it destroys everything in it's path. There is also the Ruthian Gravity Hammer, you can send practically anything soaring across the field with this thing. And the one everyone has been waiting for, the flamethrower. It's pretty cool, people catch on fire, and it looks awesome.  There are also new gernades, I won't get into those now. Overall, the story mode can take from 3-15 hours, depending on how adept you are.

   Now lets look into multiplayer. As usual, multiplayer is the biggest part of Halo 3. It's very fun, they have added some new stages, and boy they are awesome. They are larger, and have many more variables.

    Now time for one of my favorite features: The forge. Lets say you just hated one level; you think it wasn't designed nicely, and it wasn't really your style. But with the Forge, you can edit any level you want! You can play as the dungeon master, or as some other wicked characters not available in story mode.

    This game is packed with so much, I can't believe it! Though it has few flaws, it's awesome!!

    Overall rating: 9.5/10 This game is awesome, but not perfect.
