Portal

Have you ever wondered how it feels like to use a device that can create portals? Well it lies in the game, Portal.

Portal is a first-person puzzle-platform video game developed and published by Valve Corporation and released on October 9, 2007. Portal takes place in Enrichment Center for Aperture Laboratories, also known as Aperture Science. Portal is about how Aperture Science has been abandoned because of an untested robot AI (Artificial Intelligents) built by the Aperture Scientists named GLaDOS (or Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System) released neurotoxic gas killing all the scientists.  After the gas GLaDOS, she starts to use test subjects for testing the puzzles she has built. The test subjects use portal devices that can create portals so they can get to one place to another. All the test subjects are eliminated because they cannot pass tests. After all the test subjects die GLaDOS has only one test left, Chell. Chell (player) has to try to pass all the tests, learning how to use the portal gun and pass different puzzles and tests.  The player (Chell) has to use a portal gun to pass levels. In tests there can be different traps such as turrets that fires at the player, toxic water, etc. In tests there are cubes you have to place on buttons that activate a door(s).  There are full of puzzles that take your wits to figure out. At the end you have to slay GLaDOS. After you finish the game you can play it again or you can download map, mods (modifications), or skins that can make your portal gun look different.

What I like about this game is the puzzles that it makes me solve. It takes my wits to figure it all out before I reach the next level. I love the story in the game and the story behind it because it seems really interesting and intriguing.  Portal really challenges my mind to figure out the puzzle/challenge. I also love while you’re doing a test GLaDOS always seems to insult you if you fail or while you’re doing a test, which is always hilarious!

But, there are cons about this game. After a while I play the game it gets boring. There isn’t a lot of action and some tests are just too hard to figure out. Sometimes I cannot figure out a test and have to look it up.

I would rate this game 3 ½ out of 5.

A Blocky Game!

In a world, made of pixels and blocks, stands a solitary player creating his own universe.

In this computer game there really is no goal, and even if you choose to you go back to the regular world instead of the end world you can continue on whatever you were doing before. You can do whatever you want, from building a castle or go down into the darkest caves to find diamonds, iron, gold, and coal. Notch (The Creator of this game) didn’t implement a lot of ideas to have a different gameplay they were thinking about making. Like they were supposed to add a nether core reactor, which is a block that created a nether portal, but they didn’t.

I really like this game because you don’t have to do what anyone says (unless you’re on a server). For instance, if you want to build a house first and then go find materials no one can tell you on how to do it. You can also download mods (modifications) to change the way you can play. For example, one of the mods called Buildcraft lets you make industrial things that will do things such as mining and a lot of different tasks, but it will cost (not money in case that was what you were thinking) a lot of resources.

Overall, Minecraft was a really good game and would deserve 5 paws although it costs $24.95 which stinks, but if you work hard for the money, trust me I know you won’t be disappointed!

The Great Guild Wars 2

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you live in a world full of fantasy? Well this answer lies in this game named, Guild Wars 2.

Guild Wars 2 allows the players to choose their own race, class, and the way they look. Customizing characters can change the gameplay. In Guild Wars 2, players are challenged to different quests, which allow them to receive new loot and to level up (Player Versus Environment). There are different kinds of monsters, people, and bosses to fight, even other players (Player Versus Player). Players choose skills, which can change the way the characters fight. Crafting different weapons, armor, and potions adds a different dimension to the gameplay. Players can create their own guild or join other people’s guilds (groups). Friends can support other player’s missions. The highest level possible is level 80, but the higher the level, the better the loot. This is what makes Guild Wars 2 an amazing game.

Guild Wars 2 is a MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) video-game developed by ArenaNet, published by NCsoft and released on August 28, 2012. Guild Wars is for Windows 7 and Mac OS X.

What I like about this game is how you can travel around the world, defeat monsters, receive loot, the customization, and the gameplay. For example, my uncle and I play, and together we defeated a big boss, and I received rare great sword. We can play for hours and it feels like no time at all!

The only problem with this game is that sometimes there are glitches. These are annoying bugs in the game that sometimes freeze play. One time I was stuck in between rocks and I had to quit the game and start over again. That’s really annoying!

Overall, it’s a great and amazing game to play, and I give Guild Wars 2 four out of five paws.

Super Spyro!

 Isn't he cute?

I love the video game Spyro. First of all, you have the awesomest, most-cutest character ever. He's purple with yellow horns, and he has wings. Secondly, his powers rock! He can fly, do flips, kick, and breathe fire. Awesome, right? Last but not least, you can beat up monsters and aliens!

Clone Wars Adventures

Clone Wars adventures is really cool. You can go in other realms and play a lot of games. Most of them are for membership (which you have to buy). Here's a hint if you've never played. There are codes to get station cash points, but you have to buy them. If you get five of the codes you can trade them in for a lifetime membership. Also, you get free Anakin Skywalker gear along with the codes as well. You can send friend requests. There are places in the game where blue circles. When you click on the circles you get 25 republic credit. This allows you to buy gear, and other things. You can also buy furniture for your house. For $49.00 you can purchase a lifetime membership, which means you can play a lot more games and access more gear.

Shining my Halo!

 

I love the video game Halo. First of all, I love that when you are at the first round you'll kind of jump becuawe there's alien robots that you play against. Secondly, because you can also play against each other, you can make your own profile too. Last but not least, when you finally beat the robots, you'll be so glad you'll want to play again.
