Assasin's Creed III Review

by: AM25403

Assassin's Creed III is set during the American revolution. The protagonist is a Native American called Connor who belongs to a group called the Assassins who's purpose is to fight and stop the Templars, who's mission is to take control of man. Throughout the game Connor is actively involved in the American Revolution while fighting the Templars and there leader, who is his father.

Assassin's Creed III is a first person role playing game. The game has good graphics with a great story line that coincides with actual events with real people from the past. The more you know about history, the better the game becomes.Assassin's Creeds story line takes time to develop but always keeps the gamer entertained. At times the games can be quite violent and does include some blood. With a variety of different weapons and ways to play you will not be disappointed. I recommend this game for just about everyone.

Fallout 3

If you have ever played a video game and you have an open mind, you should play fallout 3. Set in the post apocalyptic world of Washington D.C. In the year 2277, Fallout three has a massive and immersive world that really makes you feel that you are in the game.

Its various choices will leave you morally challenged on which path to take. Some choices in the game have no right solution and it will make you feel terrible wither way. And it's not just me who likes the game. As of 2012, 5,530,000 copies have been sold, and that number is still rising.

Due to the game's openness, you can play however you want, and whoever can just pick up the game and have a great experience. I have played many video games, and this, of all the many video games I've played, is definitely my favorite.

It is old, so it has a few bugs and animation problems, but if you can look past that, I think it will be your favorite game too.

Review Beats Headphones

Many people love to play, create, hear music. The beats Studio by Dr. Dre is an awesome device to enjoy music to its full potential. It amplifies music it block out noise, giving you a powerful sound. This headphones are comfortable and light weight.

This headphones are expensive $299.95 and it is worth every and each penny. Some people say that they are very big and it not worth all that money.

I have this headphones and I love them. I love how it sounds and you only hear the music and you don't hear what out side. When I get in a airplane with the beats you can't hear the noise of the airplane.

Review of The App. LetterPress

Finally friday I was thinking when the final bell rang, I walked out the doors to my school with a stride and into my mothers car to go home. In the car i buckled up and pulled out my shimmering iphone. Casually venturing through the app store while driving home, I came across an app. called LetterPress. It was a application that looked like a scrabble game. But after looking at the preview picture slides with interest it seemed to have something special so like any normal being I downloaded it. Opening it up I read the instructions, brilliant I thought to myself as I read the instructions. They placed a simplistic yet challenging factor to this spelling game, were you need to obtain more points in a vicious battle of vocabulary against your opponent. The game was won when all of the letters have been used at least once. Drawn in by the joy of being superior to others intelligence, I played several games, each becoming even more entertaining then the last. This game was similar to scrabble i though, but faster. There was a full version for $1.99, but personally I'm not the kind of person to spend money on an iPhone application. I recommend this game to others do to the fact that this game will challenge people. As well as the satisfaction of victory. Seriously get this scrabble like and spelling game, it's well worth it!

Black ops 2 review

by: P.Malo

Black ops 2 is so for the second best COD game I've played since Call of Duty 4. The reason why is that the campaign has multi-able endings and the different endings are based on your actions and if you complete a strike force mission successfully. Another reason is that the zombies game mode is more enjoyable then before. You can actual save guns and points that can be later used in different matches. Also the zombies map is much bigger and the zombies are actual harder to kill. As a zombie killer I find this very interesting and hope that it will succeed. And no the main focus is the multiplayer. Last year I was disappointed with the multiplayer in MW3 because everything was easy to unlock (Guns, Cameo, equipment, and perks) and half the guns that are in that game are still OP even to this very day. But I think terarchy really stepped up there game this year. All the weapons are balanced, the score streak system is more polished, the cheap perks have to be unlock later on in the game, and there is finally a mute entire lobby button. Another thing that caught my eye was that now your weapon progress will be saved were in pervious games you would have to unlock everything for that weapon again. But in every COD game, there are still little hiccups in the game. One is that they took out the speed reload perk probably because that the fact that it was popular in other games, there is no longer an aim assist(locking on a player while aiming), and still no dedicated severs. But with these mistakes it is still a decent game. I would highly recommend this game to gamers that are sick of playing MW3 or to people that are new to the game.

Django Review

On opening day, Christmas, my cousins and I went to see the one and only, Django. Such a good way to end a joyous holiday. I would recommend this movie to anyone who walks in my path because it was one of the most interesting, yet humorous, movies I've seen in awhile.
I'm going to use all I have in order to persuade you to watch this film. First of all, the ticket cost $7.50 to $10, differing on your theater choice. Yes, that is a normal amount for a movie ticket, but is every movie you see 165 minutes long? That, my friends, is two hours and forty five minutes for one movie. By seeing Django, you are easily getting your moneys worth and you won't be sitting in your huge chair waiting to get out because it is just so eye-catching.
Secondly, the cast in the movie is just mind-boggling. Quentin Tarantino chooses the best group of actors for this movie. In order to keep the movie serious, Christoph Waltz took a lead role as Django's "partner in crime" and also Leonardo DiCaprio made a great addition. It was a very gruesome and intense movie and in order to keep it more humorous instead of dark, unlike Quentin's other movies, Jonah Hill made an appearance in the middle of the movie that got the movie audience laughing their socks off.
Lastly, Django is such a stress reliever. If you get home from work and you are tired and want to rip your bosses head off, this movie should be your destination for the night. The awesome violence scenes, and outrageous blood splatters, will leave you quite content. Also, if you are a lady, Leonardo, Jamie Foxx and many of the other shirtless cowboys in this movie will make you never want to go home to your not-so-Leonardo husband.

Walking Dead Review

by: Sammyjoe

The Walking Dead

This show is an instant thriller with a roller coaster of emotions. You don't know what's going to happen next. The reason I love this show is because every moment I'm watching it, I'm sitting on the edge of my seat. This show makes you connect with the characters, this intern makes it super sad when the zombies or "walkers" come in and kill the characters. This show is the best show I've ever watched I recommend this show to anyone who loves zombies or action.

Game review

I am reviewing Pokemon black and white the Vido game. This game is appealing to me although they are running out of ideas for Pokemon. Trubish the trash bag Pokemon was defiantly not a good idea. Trubish isn't Verry helpfull so I didn't catch one. In the beginning you chose a starter then Bianca chooses the one that's week to it, wile cheren chooses the one stronger than it, with cheet codes you can catch them but only ay the beginning.
The first gym is unfair because you have to face the gym leader that is strong agents yours, ( tepig vs panpor) ( snivy vs pansear) ( oshawhat vs pansage). You'll find that the four first captured are pidove, perloin, patrat, and lilipup the best are perloin and lilipup in my opinion there stronger. Instead of team rocket there's team plasma ( weak name by the way) ther for Pokemon liberation and practically became what ther tying to stop ( ironic no). The legendarys are pritty cool but there is a few that you can't get anymore, Verry sad. All in al I like Pokemon black and white ( remember black has reseram, truth, and white has zerkom , ideales,.

iPad 2 Review

by: RM85592

Blog Post #7: My Review of the iPad 2

The iPad has become somewhat of a standard for the tablet computer market. It has completely reshaped the tablet computing industry. It is a revolutionary product with so many features. It has a gorgeous, sizable 9.7 inch screen size which provides the perfect viewing size for playing games, watching movies, or even working on documents and presentations.

The iPad 2 was an amazing step up from the original iPad. It was thinner, lighter, and packed a horde of new features. It was now just 0.34 inches thick as opposed to the older 0.5 inch thickness, and it now weighed 1.33 pounds as opposed to the 1.5 pounds it weighed on the older generation model. The iPad is a beautiful device. With its new rounded edges it sites comfortably in your hand. Combine that with the new weight and thinness of the device and it feels like you aren't even holding anything in your hand anymore. It now has a speedy dual core A5 1 GHz processor, instead of the older, sluggish A4 processor. With that new processor you can wave goodbye to the frustration that comes with having to wait for apps to load up or for web pages to load. I can't even explain to you the joy that comes from the instantaneous response of taps on the screen. It also now has 2 cameras: one on the back with hd 720p video recording and a still camera with 5 times digital zoom, and one on the front with VGA quality, perfect for FaceTime with friends. It has an astounding 10 hour battery life, made for those road warriors who are constantly on the go. It also has a new gyroscope sensor in addition to the accelerometer, so that you or your kids can enjoy entertaining games on your new iPad. I use my iPad for everything school- related. Its great for typing out reports or reading articles. There are thousands of great apps on the app store. I have to say it is probably the most used electronic device in my household. My mom, dad, and brother are all big fans of it. I can enjoy a movie or tv show in bed, or I can play a game in class to pass the time after I have finished all of my work.

However, there are some downsides to buying the iPad 2. It doesn't really have any apparent flaws, but last year Apple released the iPad 3 in March and the iPad 4 in September. With the iPad 3 they added the amazing retina display technology, and after experiencing the display on that screen I fell I love with it. With the iPad 4 they added the fastest processor that they have, and that pretty much made it the best iPad ever. What did that mean to the iPad 2? It got a tremendous price drop, by almost 100 dollars since it originally came out. Am I saying don't buy the iPad 3 or 4 because it is more expensive? No, but if you are looking for an affordable, awesome tablet and you are on a budget, the iPad 2 is the perfect tablet for you.

Review of Instagram

In our new generation, social media websites and apps are a must for an up- to- date teenager. One of these apps is Instagram. Instagram is an social media app where people can share photos, comment on and "like" other people's pictures, and tag photos based on the content. This may seem boring, you may ask yourself "What is the point? This isn't like Facebook where you can post statuses, or Twitter where you can make your own tweets, why bother?" Well for many people thesis a modem for them to spread their photography skills and gain a following. However most people are not photographer trying to make a name for themselves. Instagram is mostly teenagers posting pictures for likes and comments to make them feel satisfied with popularity. But then again, isn't all social media like that? If what I described is your cup of tea, Instagram is a great app for you. But if you're not into the "social media" scene, then this may be an app to ignore.
