Metroid Prime III

The final game in the Metroid Prime trilogy is easily the best. It's innovative motion controls are known through-out the video gaming community as one of the best ways to improve a series with new technology. F.Y.I.: you can now get every single game in the trilogy with motion control, but if you intend to buy it you'd better hurry up, it's gone out of print. Any way, it also has the most intuitive exploring tool. You can access your ship at any time, and fly to another planet. Each planet has a leviathan at the core. The leviathans have been infected by the unstable element of phazon. Samus must travel to each planet and destroy the leviatans. The leviathans all have protective shields which must be disabled in order for samus to attack. To make things more complicated Samus must destroy her doppleganger, Dark Samus. Even making things more complicated Dark Samus has infected Samus and three other hunters with phazon. Samus must go from planet - planet and destroy not only the leviathans, but her fellow hunters.
This game is the best game EVER! 100/10.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

The Star Wars franchise is in all likely-hood the most well known story in the world, however, little about the nineteen year period of darkness between episodes III, and IV is known. The force unleashed quite nicely wraps up all the questions about the relationship between the Emperor and Vader. According to the game Darth Vader takes up a secret apprentice. His name, or rather, code name, for he was not allowed a permanent identity, is Star killer. Star killer is requisitioned to hunt down and exterminate Jedi. Also he was not allowed to let any witnesses live, so he will destroy anyone who sees him, imperial, or not. This game shows the story of a young Sith, who learns the path to the righteous way of doing things. It can be cried fowl that the game was too easy, but I think it's fair to Star Wars fans with poor motor skills.
Overall I think it was a fun game, and it's worth the 19.99 to buy it. 8.5 out of ten.

Adventure Quest Worlds

It's been awhile since my last post and I hope no one's angry. Today I will review an MMORPG, called Adventure Quest Worlds. It's your standard Mages, Soldiers, and regals fantasy game, but it's one of the most addictive games I've played as of yet. You have to run around destroying Zombies, and saving dragons from princesses (ironic twist, da da da). Of course you have help. All over worlds you'll see random characters with exclamation icons on their heads. Run up and click the icon to get a clue about where to go next. The quests mainly consist of large adventures broken up into small tasks such as: Kill X amount of enemy X, and I'll give you a prize, or a tub of gold, or a key, or something. When signing up you have several choices in what character you want to be. I chose to be a Madge. If you become a member and sign up for twenty dollars for 3 months you can get an upgrade to each character. Overall, it's a good game and I think Sushi will agree when I say that it deserves a solid score.
I give this game an 8.7 out of 10

Halo: Combat Evolved

Halo is one of those games that just feels like it was meant to test your faith in other games. I know it tested mine in Metroid. The only thing I can say is, wow. This was one of those games that just felt right. It can be said that it doesn't warrant repeated play, but that's only because the thrill of playing it for the first time is like some sort of wonderful drug.
The story thus far: The year is 2552, and genetic engineering is now completely in the grasp of man. One project of this science is to build an army of super men called the Spartans. This project is important because of a resistance that threatens the existence of man. The planet has become over-populated, this has forced some to colonize space. A colony that was on the very boundary of the known universe had lost contact with Earth. An armada of soldiers was sent to find the force that had possibly destroyed the colony, 32 gleaming space battle ships. Only one ship returned with reports of a giant reptilian alien force, called the Covenant, that was deeply religious. They believed humans to be the demon scum of the universe. But more on them later. This is why the SPARTAN II project is imperative to man's survival. Unfortunately, there was a failure with the SPARTAN armor. It caused the slightest spasm to jerk the SPARTAN about spasmodically. It killed all except for a genetically flawed SPARTAN, SPARTAN 117, Master Chief. His body was so dense that he weighed 1,000 lbs. at 7' high, and no fat percentage. This is the character you play as.
The game is named after a weapon the covenants ancestors built to destroy the Flood, an insect species that will feed off of anything living. Halo was built with a computer that was designed to work out a way of destroying them. It settled on the answer that if they cut off it's food supply that they would die out. It poised itself to wipe the galaxy clean of all life. The covenant shut it down and kept it a secret. It was rediscovered by the humans who thought it could be reprogrammed to just wipe out the Covenant. They were incorrect however, and didn't know it. As the player it's your job to stop them.
9.9 out of 10. Please contact us at sushidudeteam@gmail.com, or f.frey6@gmail.com

The Arrow Of Time

The Arrow Of Time is an online game for desktops. Go to superflashbros.net to play the game. In this game you are a whistle knight (they have heads shaped like whistles). Your kingdom was attacked by agents of darkness, who are trying to recover the greatest weapon of all time, which the whistle knights invented, It is called the arrow of time. It has the power to delete enemies from time and space. This was the ambition of the dark agents. The whistle knights fought valliantly to protect the world, but in the end only two of them survived. The first was the character you will play in this game, Peep, the other was an outcast from the whistle fortress (Toot). As you go through the game he fights you and tries to gain the arrow of time, on top of the dark agents also wanting it. When you defeat him the final time Peep will pull out a grapple, and pull up Toot possibly setting the game up for a sequel.
The controls in this game were not the best, you will hold down the mouse key until the arrow is pulled all the way back. You then release. An anoyance with this is that if your mouse goes of the screen it will start to lag.
Over all this wasn't a very bad game, and I really hope to see a sequel of it some time soon. 8.5 out of 10.

Metroid Prime Trilogy

When I first bought the Metroid Prime Trilogy I was kinda' skeptical. I didn't want to start the original Metroid Prime all over again, I however didn't get very far in Metroid Prime 2 Echoes. So I started out on that. I got farther on that with the enhanced controls in 2 days, than I got in months on the cube. I have a high opinion of this game and I highly recommend it for anyone who has ever played, and enjoyed a metroid game. I will only explain Prime 2, instead of that and Prime 3 for the sake of another good review. Samus is comissioned to a uncharted planet where a platoon of GF (Galactic Federation) soldiers mysteriously dissapeared. There she encounters a species called the luminoth, there is one last sentinel luminoth of Aether. He told her how a meteor struck Aether spliting it into 2 demensions of light and dark. While the luminoth were richeous their demensional opposites were completely evil. They were called the ing. They had a great war. The luminoth crossed into their demension via portals. The first that were sent over came back coughing and hacking for air, as the atmosphere of Dark Aether was so evil, anything less than ing status would shrivel up and die. They established beacons of light in the dark world and the war went on. The ing captured 80% of Aethers planetary energy. Samus must get it back
I give this game a 8.9 out of 10
