Reflecting

This past fall i was quite new to blogging and i really wasn't sure about how it was going to go. At first i really didn't know what to talk about, or what even to say to start my blog out. When i finally did figure out what to talk about i was starting to feel better and i could talk about what i wanted to talk about. This became easy for me to do because you don't have to write a journal or a big paper that has resrictions and for some reason it is easier for me to open up and talk on the blog then it is to do it on paper. As the year progressed blogging became a piece of everyday life even if i didn't want it to be sometimes. I would come up with new ideas to write about and then i would come up with more and more and then i would start to forget what i wanted to talk about in the first place. Now as the end of our school year is about 2 weeks away i'm not going to give up blogging but i will take a lot more time reseaching new things to talk about and maybe change things up a bit. In a way i really am going to miss school this summer because my friends and i always ask each other if we have seen there new blog post. I am really glad that we were able to blog this year and i hope that it is a requirement every year. I will say the first time you blog it's not the easiset thing in the world but as you go on it is a lot of fun.

Leg-o my Lego!






We have seen the Lego Star Wars series, Lego Batman, and Lego Indiana Jones, but now Lego goes original in Lego Battles for Nintendo DS, and it is set for realese in 2009.



While the game still has that werid sense of humor, it has depth to back it up. The game has 90 levels and throughout the game you will be able to play as several factions such as Medieval combatants, Pirates, Space Warriors, etc. , you will also be able to manage 80 unit types; for example in the Medieval era you will have Guardsmen, Archers, Knights, Cataputs, builders and many more. There will also be a Hero Character with special powers kind of like Age Of Mythology for DS (if you have ever played that). You will have structures to build and maintain, and resources to gather and manage. The Multiplayer mode is more competitive rather than cooperative. The games other improvments include being able to actually Fail missions unlike other lego titles. This Lego game is sure to be a great game and to be one of the best in the lego series, so check it out it is sure to please.

These two new games are sure to please fans who use WiiWare while they wait for the New Final Fantasy 13 to come out. By the way look for more updates about Final Fantasy 13's release and previews.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon!


What can i say about this game that doesn't sound bad, to tell the truth you really can't. The game is just so slow and because the creators didn't do much (other than some graphics) to keep the game fresh it just doesn't cut it. It is just like the original version for SNES (Super Nintendo) with no improvments other than some graphics. The two games that came out for GameBoy Advance were way better. Fire Emblem and Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones for GameBoy Advance wasn't as slow as the one for Nintendo Ds. What i mean by slow is, it is just so yack,yack,yack,yack,yack and not enough stratgy and below the two for GBA. I should have listened to the game magizines when they said it was a terrible game but i thought "hey the other two for GBA weren't bad so this one shouldn't be bad"........but i was wrong. I do have to give my credits to the two games made for Gamecube and the one for Wii there pretty amazing. I just don't see the point in this game, why make it if it will turn out terrible. I am going to give this game a 5.0 because even though it is a terrible game it is playable if you have the time to spare or if you are getting tired of playing Halo Wars (yah right). If you have any opinons about this game or want to just leave a comment please do so.

Manga Mania!!


When you hear the word Manga what comes to mind......think about that a minute. 10-20 years ago this word really wasn't used much if at all in america. Now its almost part of our vocabulary and is used in daily conversation. For those readers who still don't konw what i'm talking about Manga are Japanese comics. In America they are translated from Japanese to American but you still can buy the Original Japanese ones if you like. Manga has almost become my life and also the life of some other people i know. The Comic craze is sweeping the not just America but the entire globe. It kind of has become a home away from home for comic readers and something new for readers as well, and the best part is that if you like certain cartoons............................ (example: DragonBall, DragonBall Z, Yu-Gi-OH, Shaman King.....the list is endless) you can go buy the Manga and i bet you'll find something new you didn't see in the cartoon and you might even appreciate the cartoon a little more and also the work these people put into making these comics and shows. This comic craze is sure to grow and grow and possibly be forever part of the American comic world.
