Hi!

This is my review of LittleBigPlanet, a game that is out for the Playstation3.

In LittleBigPlanet, you play as a Sack Boy. It is this little creature that looks like somebody sewed him together. You can customize your Sack Boy and give them clothes, hats and boots. Once you finish customizing your Sack Boy, you can save it so you won’t have to make another, even though making new ones is really fun. You have to find and unlock new items for your Sack Boy, so making one at the beginning of the game might be hard or it might not look that good because you won’t have that much items. Once you are far in the game you will have more items and more skins so you will be able to make really cool Sack Boys.

In the beginning of the game you play in this place that looks like a forest. It is pretty fun there but my favorite level was one of the African-style levels. They are really fun. Once you get farther in the game you unlock the Chinese-style place. it is kinda hard because there are these spikes that come flying out of ceiling and try to stab your character. The last few levels are really hard because you have to go through a lot of obstacles and there are a lot of electric traps that explode your character. When they get electrocuted they make a squealing sound. It is a very high-pitched noise that sounds like a shrieking animal. It also sounds like one of my friends when he makes his strange creature sounds. The last level is really hard because you have to fight The Collector. He is this animal creature that kidnaps a whole bunch of characters from the other levels. before the last level you have to go through The Collector’s Bunker. It is even harder than the last level because it is a lot longer and there is a lot of the electric traps.

I think this game is really fun, and if you have a Playstation3, you should definitely try it out. I am giving this game a 8/10.

Hi!

This is my first online game review. It is called Club Penguin. You can play it in your Internet browser, so you don’t have to download anything. In this online game, you can either play for free or you can buy a membership which costs about 5$ a month. Here is a link to the main site, Club Penguin. This online game is owned by Disney.

First, I would only recommend this game for young children because it is a more younger child online game and older kids might find it really boring and a bit creepy. You make an account on it and you can customize your penguin’s colour. Once you have done that you can start playing the actual game and all of its mini games. Completing the mini games or getting a good score on them will get you coins, but coins are very useless if you are not a member because only members can actually buy stuff except for about 2 things. The only clothes non members can get is special event clothes, but those barely happen unless you made your account around the holidays.

Some of the mini games might get very frustrating because they are very strange. The best game to make money off of would probably be Cart Surfer because the tricks are very easy and get a lot of points. This mini game is the best because it is one of the easiest games.

I used to play this game but I stopped because it got really boring after a while and wasn’t that fun anymore. I also thought that it was a bit too childish for me, so that was another reason why I stopped . I am giving this game 2 ratings because I was a member and a non member.

Non member rating: 3/10.

Member rating: 4/10.

Hi guys!

This is my review of Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, a game that is out for computers.

Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 comes after Roller Coaster Tycoon. It still has some of the same rides but I think there is some new ones. You get to make your own park, or you can select one of the Six Flags parks to improve. In The Six Flags parks, there is already some rides there but you can put more rides in. I usually make an eatery some where in a Six Flags park because there is some food stalls but the guests almost always complain that they are hungry and couldn’t find the food stalls.

My favorite ride in this game is the Glow-Worm. It is a really cool roller coaster that has a lot of loops in it. There are other kinds of roller coasters that are exactly the same as the Glow-Worm, but they just have different designs. My favorite food stall is the Seafood Stall because the people buy these green tentacles and it looks funny when they walk around with them.

The coolest Six Flags park in this game is Six Flags Magic Mountain because there is this roller coaster called Goliath there and it is a really big roller coaster. My favorite normal park would have to be Lucky Lake because you have unlimited money, but you have to build your entire park over a lake. I beat the Lucky Lake park and I still play on that park because it is really good. I built at least about 20 roller coasters, most of them being really cool and giant.

I think this game is really fun, and if you have played any of the other Roller Coaster Tycoon games you should buy this one. I give this game a 8.5/10.

Hi guys!

This is my review of Roller Coaster Tycoon, a game that is on the computer.

Roller Coaster Tycoon is really fun because you get to build your own theme park. First you pick a level and then you can build rides, food stalls, scenery and attractions. My favorite ride to put in is the Free Fall. It is this thing that shoots the people straight into the air and drops them back down really fast and goes back up again and comes back down. It is funny because most of the time after they get off they throw up all over the ground.

To fix your rides you need to hire mechanics and to clean up puke and to mow the grass you have to hire handymen. There is also another person you can hire: an entertainer. They are people who dress up in costumes and go around your park dancing and juggling. I never really liked the entertainers because they are really creepy.

You have to build food and drink stalls so the people at your park don’t starve and leave the park. You can also put clothing stalls and souvenir stalls too. You have to put these in your park: bathrooms! One time I forgot to put bathrooms in my park and all of the people left, so I deleted that park and made a new one. You can also charge them money to go the bathroom, so if you need money charge the people between 1-10 cents to go the bathroom.

I think this game is really fun so I am giving it a 7.5/10. I also have a link to the official website, Roller Coaster Tycoon. Take a look at it.

This is my Remembrance Day painting. It is a painting of a boy dreaming what Flanders Fields would be like. I decided to paint this picture because I didn’t really want to draw a picture of a battle, so instead I painted a picture of Flanders Fields. I painted a giant poppy instead of making a whole bunch of little ones because that would have taken a while to paint and dry. We used water-colored paints because they show a little bit more brighter color. We also learned a poem about Flanders Fields but I forgot it.

Could you imagine having to live in a trench? Well that’s what the soldiers who went to war had to do. They would eat in the trenches, sleep in the trenches and even go to the bathroom in the trenches. I think that it would have been horrible in the trenches.We should be very thankful for the people who lost their lives so we could be free today.

Hi guys!

This post is about the North American release of Re: Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories!

Re: Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (or Re:CoM for short) is a PlayStation 2 remake of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories that was originally released for the GBA (Game Boy Advance). Square Enix only released Re: CoM in Japan, but on December 2, they are releasing the English version!

Since it was only out in Japan, I can’t really give it a full review, so I can only review some of the stuff I know about it. Re: CoM is a card game, so you will have to select cards to use so you can attack. Different cards are more powerful than others and in the corner of the card it shows you it’s level.

In this game you can play as Sora or Riku, and both of them have separate stories to play. The graphics for this game are really good. This was the second Kingdom Hearts game to be made, but it is not called Kingdom Hearts 2. Kingdom Hearts 2 had a Japanese release of I think December 2005 and was released in North America and Europe some time in 2006.

In Japan, Re:CoM was released with Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix. Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix is still Kingdom Hearts 2, but with a lot of bonus content. In Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix, when you are in The World That Never Was, you actually get to fight Roxas instead of just watching a cut scene where Sora fights him. You also get to fight these things called Mushroom XIII (XIII is Roman numerals for 13), and if you defeat all of them you get a keyblade but I don’t know what it is called.

I got this game for Christmas so I now have a little more info about it. When you advance another floor in the castle, you have a world card and you get to decide which world you want to go to first. This game is actually a lot harder than it sounds because the card fighting system can be a bit difficult at times, especially when you might need it the most. Once you use all of your cards you have to recharge them by holding down a button. Every time you use up all of your cards, it will take longer to recharge them.

The levels are also really hard in this game like Monstro and Wonderland(Wonderland is a lot harder because at one point you have to fight these cards that the queen summons and they are really powerful). I am actually stuck on Wonderland because of that too. From what I have played of this game I would say it actually isn’t as good as I hoped it to be. I am giving this game a 6/10.

Hi guys!

This is my review of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a game that is exclusively out for the Nintendo Wii.

This game is REALLY fun and has a lot of characters too. It is a game that has a whole bunch of Nintendo characters in it and there are some new characters that weren’t in Super Smash Bros Melee. There are also a lot of new stages too. In This Super Smash Bros game there is an item that allows you to use your character’s Final Smash move. Every character has a different Final Smash and they are all quite good.

Since this game came out in 2007, there is a lot of new characters. Here are the characters: Ike, Princess Peach, Luigi, Mario, Yoshi, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Kirby, Marth, Link, Toon Link, Zelda/Sheik, Gannondorf, Meta Knight, King Dedede, Snake, Samus/Zero Suit Samus, Lucario, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Lucas, Fox, Falco and wolf. I am sure there is more characters but I can’t remember. My favorite character is Ike, Mainly because he is practically the best character in the game and because his Final Smash is really good.

Their is also a lot of stages in just normal brawl. My favorite stage is probably The Bridge of Eldin. There is plenty of new stages and also stages from Melee are in Brawl, but you have to unlock them. There is also a Stage Builder Mode where you can make your own stages.

This game is really fun, so I am giving it a 8.5/10.
