Jessie

Jessie comes from Texas to NYC to follow her dreams, to be an actress. A little kid named Zuri Ross finds her as she gets thrown out of a cab and asks her to be her nanny. Jessie figures out that they have a butler and 4 kids, Zuri, Ravi, Emma, and Luke. Their parents, Morgan and Christiana Ross, are movie directors. This comedy TV show takes place in New York City.

This show is great for kids 6-10 years of age because it’s in their age group. I really like this show because it’s comedy. For example, when Luke and Bertram find this crazy killer spider and try to kill it before it multiplies. But, they didn’t end up killing it before it multiplied so, it caused catastrophe in their apartment.

If you want comedy and laughter, I recommend the show Jessie to you. I give this show 5 paws. Tell me what you think of the show on Disney channel.

Dolphin Tale

The book Dolphin Tale is a true story. One winter’s day in Mosquito Lagoon, Florida, Sawyer, an 11-year-old boy, discovers a wounded dolphin in the ropes of a crab trap. He names her Winter, and Sawyer helps her out of the trap, but the rope cut off the supply of blood to her tail. Then the Clearwater Marine Aquarium comes and takes Winter to their hospital. They ended up having to cut off her tale. It took her a long time to start to eat. Will Winter ever swim again?

One reason I like this book is because it is exciting. For example, when Winter keeps splashing Sawyer and then finally pulls him under the water, and they start to play.

 One reason I did not like this book was because it said on the front cover that it was based on the movie, but in the book they changed some of the best parts from the movie. For example, in the movie Sawyer goes home during the storm, but in the book he stays at the animal hospital.

After I read this book I decided to give this book 3 paws.

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.

Mortal Kombat: The Legend of the Thunder God

   
The Dragon King, the ruler of all that’s good, got mad at Thunder god for stealing an amulet. He sent his guardians Shang Tsung and Quatchi into battle, and they killed the Thunder god. Shao Kahn, the ruler of all that’s evil, sends Scorpion to get rid of Shang Tsung and Quatchi so that he can take the amulet. Will Scorpion get the amulet?

I like this game because it has all kinds of fantasy characters. For example, Subzero is a character that can defend himself with ice. Another example is Goro, one of the strongest characters, has four arms. It’s a fun game!

If you like fighting games, you’ll love Mortal Kombat. I give this game 4 stars!
